well i wasnt around in the 70’s, and i was VERY young in the 80’s, so i couldnt really tell ya if tattoos where just as common then than they are now. however i can tell you tattoos have gained in popularity since then, and grow more and more popular every day.

as for head and neck tattoos, it isnt likely they will be completely acceptable to…[Read more]

well there was a time when the only people who got tattoos where service members and criminals, but it sure as heck wasnt the 70’s and 80’s…. more like 40’s and 50’s i would say. from what i have seen and read, tattooing started being more common and mainstream in the late 60’s, and gets more and more popular as time goes by. face and hand…[Read more]

pretty slick, i like it 🙂 nice piece of work

this tatto means Fight for what you belive in. -It does? I thought it meant never play with swords while your drunk or high.

also how much would you think it would cost? -I’ll do it for the low price of $699.99. I can cut you an even better deal if you get it half that size, it’ll only cost you $400.

oh and ita going to go on my arm -Good…[Read more]

im diggin the octopus man! not a big fan of script though…

looks good overall man, welcome to the forum

looks pretty sweet man, very well done. wear it proud

Is it ok for me to tell you that you make absolutely no sense whatsoever?? May I? Please?

Is it ok if I make fast joke to tell you for the terrible engrish you to speak to me with?

yea, dont use A & D… just an unscented patrolium and lanolin free lotion will work just fine. you can use the search funtion, theres a lot of stuff on aftercare here

pictures would help…

wait for it to heal all the way, because it WILL lighten up when it does. as for turning greenish, i’d say as black ink fades it turns more of a blueish color if anything…

this is being done by Randy at modern tattoo in the north chicago area

well me personally, my chest is really hairy, but to keep the angel on my chest more pleasing to the eye, i dont completely shave the hair, i just trim it down with a #1 guard every couple weeks. the shorter hair makes it much more visible. maybe consider doing something like that, because every inch of your body is canvas waiting for a master to…[Read more]

Quit bitchin. simple as that. This forum does not support unlicensed tattooing. What is the problem in that? As Gsouder said, 99% of scratchers are either crappy artists or they lack the knowledge to keep a clean, disease free environment. It is that very reason we do not support it. Get an apprenticeship if you are serious about it. It may take a…[Read more]

Aren’t we talking about a UK show here?
Over here it is 18+ unless for medical reasons.

Medical reasons can be a range of things. It’s for the medical practitioner to decide whether it’s reasonable or not.
It’s normally like medical cards/bracelets for instances where someone is unconscious and has a medical reason…[Read more]

I don’t know about the UK but in the US a person over 12 can get a tattoo or have sex with written parental consent. There are rules that vary from state to state but if a 15 year old girl goes in with their parent or guardian then can legally be tattooed.
