baarz? WTF?!
cant you just explain him if your such a great expert ass?
hate ppl like this arse -.-

actually, never thought of that, all mine are the same color[ black]. =]

That was a simple answer…and correct for the most part. I use water to clean my needles when switching colors…some of the time. It depends on what I am doing. One of the things you have to understand about tattooing is that it is an ART. Just like painting in a way. The best tattooists don’t just color like a paint by numbers set. they mix and blend color to get proper shade variation and depth. Say, if i’m working in light blue. I might draw up the light blue, then dip into dark blue, thus mixing the inks to get darker variations.

Its not a simple yes or no answer.

This is the thing. You are the tattooee. You go to the tattooist to get your work. You go there because you can’t do it yourself. You get damn serious about the artist you choose, then you take your artwork in there, pay his price and sit down and shut up. You don’t tell the tattooist how to do his job, you pay him to do it and trust that he will do it right.

How do you have that trust? Look at his work, look at his shop, check out his attitude.

I have a 2000 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide. I only use one mechanic. Why? Because I trust him. I don’t tell him how to fix or adjust my motorcycle because I don’t know anything about fixing or adjusting motorcycles. When he gets work done from me, he doesn’t tell me how to do my job either.

Every artist has a different way of doing things. Look at his work, then trust him to do it right.

i dont think he was aiming that at yourself but at the member who did the insult in the first place it was a good question for someone whos new to ink and a simple one to answer but only because that person had asked that same question at some point in their inking career/ hobby

HA! And then there’s THAT.

Ahhh…and… who was it that took offense…is that the right word?…to me comment on the lack of photos?
I guess for me its like this. This is a tattooing and body piercing site. There are people who come to the site and they have neither, but are interested in getting one or both.

That’s okay. I understand that. I don’t expect them to have much to share. But somewhere along the line they should. Then comes the posts. People ask questions. Some of those questions are not allowed here, and they are informed of that. The rest deserve an answer. But you have people who would rather simply insult someone; In which case I’m curious as to what gives them the right. So I check on them, but you go to their profile and there is nothing at all. Now there is another member who voiced an opinion I disagreed with and he did so in what I took to be a rather rude way. I checked out his profile too. Guess what? The stuff there was awesome.

Does that give him a right to be an ass? Not really, but eventually all of us are, myself included. But at least he had something to back up his opinion with, so you know how I responded to him?

I didn’t.

Then there’s this person.

I responded here. End of story. If you have nothing to back up your opinion…even if all it is is awesome artwork, then keep the rude crap to yourself.
