replied to the topic Advice on tattoo concept, translating well or not in the forum Tattoo Questions and Experiences 13 years, 8 months ago
that is going to be hard to translate into a tattoo, honestly there’s way too much going on. You could simplify it a bit, would make a nice chest piece. I’m not really sure what i’m looking at, are those locusts or something? Anyways, if you took those main figures and built around them and ditched the cluttered back round it could be nice. For a…[Read more]

replied to the topic On a scale of 1 – 10…. in the forum Pierced Skin 13 years, 8 months ago
1-2. It’s nothing at all really. It’s more of a pain to heal than the piercing aspect. Stretching my ears was 100 times more painful than my nose. Drink a couple brews and you wont even know its happening.

You could also try a taper. That seemed to work well for me. Though, 13mm is the biggest I’ll go.ya tapers are good, but they stop making tapers once you get into larger stretches.

replied to the topic Earlobe stretching… in the forum Pierced Skin 13 years, 9 months ago
Sometimes your body just gives out and you need to wait a bit longer. I found whenever it was hard for me to jump a size i would play with my current jewelry and pull on them gently for a couple days. I have also heard of using masterlocks over a couple week period to weigh them down, although i don’t know how sanitary that is. Long story short i…[Read more]

replied to the topic Chest Piece Critique in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 9 months ago
at first glance it looks like the star of david and some arabic writing on top. Your chest is such a prime area to do some great work, i would definitely clean up the design or go about it a different way. At the end of the day if it makes you happy, that’s all that matters. But i agree that i prefer a more visually appealing tattoo instead of…[Read more]

with all of the great lion tattoos around, why in the hell would you settle for a tribal one? I mean, there was just an entire topic devoted to lion tattoos with some really great examples.

replied to the topic Any idea of general cost in Colorado/Wyoming area? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 9 months ago
i actually like gaming tattoos, i’ve seen some amazing gaming themed sleeves. I would hardly compare gaming tattoos to tribals. Get what you want bro, but it’s been said a million times before that no one can tell you how much a tattoo will cost except your artist. So take your idea, find a competent artist and ask him the same question. No one…[Read more]

replied to the topic Great wave sleeve in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 9 months ago
welcome to the forum bro. If you’re looking to get a wave sleeve tattoo that might turn into a full sleeve have you thought about starting on your upper arm. Just because it would be much easier to add on further down your arm then adding above your calf as far as a wave goes. You could definitely do either or, but welcome to the forum and post…[Read more]

I’m also no artist, but shall comment away. First off, nice tattoo, you should be stoked. Everyone heals differently and as adler stated, everyone has their own way to heal tattoos. I personally dry heal all my tattoos, and it seems to come out a lot better. Certain sensitive areas such as inner bicep and nipples etc., can bruise. That is totally…[Read more]

replied to the topic Text tattoo discussion. in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 10 months ago
I agree with a lot of the above posts. Basically in my opinion the whole point of a tattoo is to be visually appealing. I don’t care about your damn story about how you lost your kitten when you were 2, or the death dates of past friends or grandparents. If someone wants to be “inspired” by a life changing event they experienced and have it…[Read more]
