Damn! That would have been really cool.

Looks as though from here on out I’m going to have to do it in two hour or less sessions. I really can’t afford that much, but hopefully I’ll be able to go at least every two weeks.

I’m not one for sleeveless shirts either, but maybe I’ll spend a lot of time at the beach with…[Read more]

Wow and just wow.. I was speechless looking at this post. Gets me wondering.. why are women so fond of tattoos as well? might start a topic on this..

Not really sure why it would be different than why men like tattoos. Some people are stuck in the old ways I guess. Where only bikers, prison inmates and gangbangers had tattooss

The style is called tribal. I have a couple of this style myself. They will soon be covered or incorporated into real artwork. I was really into tribal when I was your age. it happens.

That’s fast for the size of the piece

Yeah our artist works pretty fast, I was suprised especially from seeing his work. He charges by the hour.

Amazing work – how many sessions was that?

She had two small sessions and a final touch up, maybe at most fives hours total 🙂

Personally for healing, I use Aquaphor by Eucerin. It works MAGIC!!!

And Tattoo Goo is more for after it’s healed.. IMO

I use aquaphor too! Works very well my brothers recommended it, wish I would have used it on some of my other tats.

I use curel lotion quite often after its healed, especially in the winter when my skin gets dry. And I use sunblock in the summer on my arms. I paid decent money and I want my tats to look good for a long time!

Hi

First of all it is not that bad – yes it is very heavy shading but with some white highlighting along the edges and fine outlining at the edges of the tattoo it will look a whole lot better.

I keep saying it but ppl really need to check a portfolio before you let anybody near your skin.

It can be fixed but avoid creams…[Read more]

Looks like a pretty good idea. Is that a drawing that you did? Or did you find it out of a book, ect? The reason I ask is I’ve had two smaller tat’s that came out of books, basically that anyone could have or may already have. I got these when I was less experienced with tats and also pretty young. These have recently been covered up. I…[Read more]

Welcome to the forums.
-What size are your ears? Got any pics.

Just make sure you get the right tattoo, and not one just to have one.

Agreed! And welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum!

I’m guessing its totally healed? I think it could use some bright colors to contrast the dark black. 🙂

Thanks everyone! Just wanted to post my pics to give him an idea. Talked to my artist yesterday about bringing it all the way down, he left a great stopping point on this. He said we’ll probably add another big flower and a wave and tie it all together. Of course I have to finish my right arm first!
