I have had some itch, some REALLY ITCH, and some not at all. I think that I have had less itching since I started using the ‘dry wrap’ method for healing, but I am not sure that the healing method is the difference. This is going to require more research …. so …. I guess I’m going to have to get more…

Here are new photos. The photo quality isn’t great, and it’s peeling currently. I’ll post new photos when it’s healed!

It just makes me nervous messing with it, I’m afraid it could end up looking weirder than it already does! I think once it heals I will go in and add a leg and pray for the best. I don’t know how this happened! I’m glad there are people who still like the tattoo though, even though he’s disabled. Ha.

That makes sense. Best of…[Read more]

I like the tattoo a lot. I do think it’s a bit strange without the second leg, but if it really bothers you, I’m sure a good artist could fix it right up for you. (:

Mine itches on and off, but when it itches, it itches bad. Which is weird as hell because it’s pretty small. I’m probably going to die of itching when I get a bigger one.

Sorry, guys…I didn’t mean to take them down. I might’ve screwed up the settings on my photobucket account or something. I’ll put a couple new ones back up in a bit.

Some areas hurt a lot more than others. I find that the feeling can range anywhere from something like a cell phone vibrating on you to being carved into with a white hot butter knife. Or worse.

Although yours is on a quite tender area, it was a small and simple design to do. Lots of open space, and no shading,…

Looks really nice!

Were you planning on having a full sleeve at some point when you originally started getting tattoos?

When you connect with the right artist, they’ll know what you’re talking about.

I’m seriously hoping it works like that. I have what I think is a really cool idea, and I know a good artist can make it better.

I don’t understand the dragon. Also, having the nebula and the phoenix together to represent the same thing seems a bit redundant. Maybe you could explain what inspired you to get this mix of things a little more?

This is absolutely stunning! I actually forgot to breathe when I saw it.

That’s how I got my best pieces.

What I struggle with is trying to figure out how the hell to describe what I want.

Can do. I want this thing to heal easily and well.

What I really want to do is just give the artist an idea of what I want, and just kind of let him do what he wants with it. I think the best tattoos come out of giving them artistic freedom. Obviously, I could be entirely wrong, but that’s what I think. I believe Halo is around $150/hr, which isn’t bad considering the quality of the art.

Great! Is it okay to start going to the gym around once the scabs start healing?

I’m glad I asked! Thanks so much!

I guess I kind of live under a rock, because I’ve never even heard of Ink Masters. I’ve heard of Halo, but I hadn’t looked into his work until today, but I love how well done and colorful his work is. I looked into booking an appointment, and he’s booked out for this year, which isn’t a big deal for me, since I want to wait until at least next…[Read more]

For the hypoglycemia I was just worried because I’d read that it does spike the blood sugar. I have gotten close to passing out with extensive blood draws before, so it definitely was a concern.

Maryland. And I’d prefer to avoid a plane flight, but as long as it’s not outside the country, I’d be willing to go. I could always make it a vacation.
