thanks for the advice guys, i do lose some colour because the thick scabbing cracks in areas that wrinkle a lot and then the cracks weep and re-scab. problem with cling film is it makes me sweat and then thats just a breeding ground for bacteria nad asking for infection. I cant use A&D cream as it has lanolin in it and im allergic to it.

Thanks for you comments, i wanted something completely unique, so glad to hear you say its something you’ve not seen before, Phil Webster is one of englands undiscovered talents in my opinion.

That is sweet and for an artist so young the work is amazing! You should be proud dude, looks the business! ive just started a bio/mech sleeve and chest plate, but mine is more like a guy aitchison style, mixed with realism.

If your for real i would really give it some thought, although i think people should be able to have ink where they please the social stigma would definitely be an issue! If you own your own business dealing with the public then it could even lose you business, (most people wanting landscaping are middle class, in there 40 or above) a social group…[Read more]

Thanks for your comments guys, glad you like it, just started a bio/mech sleeve on other arm, i’ll post pics soon!

If you find a competent artist sorting it should be fairly easy. You should do some research and find the best artist in your area, check out there portfolio to make sure you like there style, believe me there are artists out there who will give you a rocking tattoo you can be proud of, but be prepared to pay £50-90 an hour for the best artists.…[Read more]

If i was you bro i would take our advice and change artists, you say you only think the arm is wrong, but her face is ugly, her tits are uneven, there is no shading what so ever, the grim reapers arm and hands are wrong and once its fully done it WILL be hard to rectify! Cost should not come into it when having ink, its there for life and so worth…[Read more]

well if im completely honest, which is always the best policy i believe, the art work isnt great, the girls arm looks very out of proportion, her face is very uneven, the skeletons hands are solid,(instead of being bones) its right arm looks weird etc, personally i dont rate your artist but the concept is a good one!

Sweet ink dude, really nice work keep us updated! 🙂

Sorry i was uploading more pics so take a look now!

Thanks Dewolf, i have already looked at Guy Aitchisons work, but will check out the other fella, thanks for the advice, your shoulder piece is cool!

Not sure about the pentagram on yr chest, but love the UV, it rocks!

Looks awesome dude cant wait to see it finished! Quality work too!

That is easily fixed dude, and the line work is terrible, how can this person call themselves a tattoo artist. Also i saw that some one had advised you to use bepanthen or pile cream! NEVER EVER use bepanthen or pile cream, bepanthen has alcohol in it which will irritate your broken skin, and could affect the colour of your tattoo, bepanthen also…[Read more]

Pleased to make your acquaintance!

I would seek medical advice if you are getting pain in your wrist it may be infected! Never use Bepanthen as it has alcohol in it, and petroleum jelly which blocks the pores and doesn’t allow the skin to breath. I use Vaseline intensive care moisturiser, it is perfume free and allows the skin to breathe. Also having mainly black on your tattoo…[Read more]

Thanks for the welcome guys!:D

Cool tattoo, lines look really clean and colours really pop! I wouldnt get the dogs ashes tattooed in, but maybe get a tattoo of/or symbolising the dog?

Dont know what the first person was on about, the lines are clean, i think it will mint when its done, and very original, cant wait to see the finished product!

I think the attitude towards women and tattoos have improved drastically. Like some of the other guys on here i find tattooed women attractive, however when i first started getting tattoos back in the 80’s i didnt find them as attractive because of the type of women that had them, or at least how society perceived them! Even men with tattoos back…[Read more]
