Join the club of not being artistic, luckily there are some brilliant artists here, but at the end of the day all suggestions will be to go and see a tattooist. Have you thought about giving it a couple of zaps with LASER then it will give your artist more freedom. You have thought about it and I’m certain both options will work. I suggest it’s…[Read more]

I agree with the last two posts. Also Mum & Dad in Red rose or just text are a bit passée. Is your uncle a professional tattooist? The reason I ask that is, I don;t know of any professional tattooist that would put the first 2nd or 3d tattoo on the hand or neck. A professional tattooist would be suggesting much more imaginative concepts of Mum…[Read more]

Very nice. Something for you to be very proud of.

Welcome. As for thoughts, you have thought it out, so you are well on the way. There are lots of preferences on this forum, however your ideas in the hands of a good tattooist will look great.

You are entering into an interesting Moral dilemma. Something I’m not going to enter into here, but I guess the closest is would you purchase goods / services from a company that supported Germany in the war, or worse still companies that supported both sides (at the same time)? There are allegations that some very big household names did such that.

Welcome. You are more than welcome to look, but hopefully it’s with intention of getting a couple of tattoos!

Pleased to hear that. The skin will still be fragile for another week or so, but you don’t have to worry about water, scabs etc. Enjoy!

Basically I do as long as the outline takes then about 3 hr per session after that

Very nice, something none of us were thinking of, with those cogs flying off. What do you have to do to your half sleeves?

There are many High profile sports people with only one sleeve and they have been that way for years. Money should be no problem and “fame” should get them to the front of any queue. I was talking to one guy (not sports star) and I asked him when he was getting his other arm done and he said he was going for his back and would most probably get…[Read more]

Nice, it’s going to look great when finished

Keep dreaming…
I would be very surprised if you get anyone here unless you care to provide the link on Amazon or other reputable site that is an international seller of publications of your last publication. For all we know you may be trying to put together a folio of work you have NOT done. At least you have served one very useful purpose,…[Read more]

I think most here think their tattoos are pretty good, however, with someone very new and hence unknown asking for photos and presumably passing over the copyright of the photo, in an unknown publication, I doubt your inbox is going to be very full.

It depends. Are you after colour or grey? Have a look at a really good tattoo site like http://fyeahtattoos.com
look for concepts, styles etc, take them to your tattooist and watch the magic of a design appear. You won’t like everything about it, but after some more discussion you will have something you really like.

I Agree. The tattoo is very fragile and easily damaged for at least 2 weeks. It shouldn’t be out in the sun for another 10 weeks and preferably treated kindly for some if not al that 10 weeks.
The tattoo will scab slightly (as if the tattoo is coming out). rip the scab off and it will have to re scab with more ink lost it will look very patchy…[Read more]

The impact of all the ink combined looks quite impressive.

Can’t wait to see what you come back with on Friday

Very nice. Are you going to add to it?

I’m just glad they didn’t call it science. I would suggest the reaction to pain is proportional on the amount of pain. I guess they got some free body art.

It’s not just America. There is a pub (Hotel) that has banned visible tattoos and that is the patrons. Australia has some of the worlds toughest race laws, so it’s only going to a Maori with a facial tattoo and they are going to…[Read more]
