Pain is a part of a tattoo. It’s not pleasant, but that normally doesn’t stop anyone from getting what they want done. Like Gsouder said, forget about it…you’re getting the tattoo regardless of how much it’s gonna hurt, right? I’m sure it won’t be that bad. Just go to a happy place when you’re getting inked, lol. Best of luck and we expect pics.

Beautiful…I love it…it’s gonna look amazing when complete, I’m sure.

Definitely, hands down Chris Garver!
(only if my artist here was no longer available…which i hope never happens!)

Well, first things first, I’m pretty sure that alcohol acts as a blood thinner, henceforth the reason not to drink before or after a tattoo..(dont quote me on that, but I’m pretty sure)…and as for going out that night, you’ll probably have a bandage type deal covering your tattoo (and depending on where it is on your body) i’m sure its possible…[Read more]

GSouder: Your post made me smile, haha…cause my sleeve overall, is gonna cost me around 3500 bucks I’m guessing, and I have tipped 100 after each session as well. My artist is amazing, I know I am getting the upmost attention from her when I’m getting my ink done, I don’t worry that the work is gonna be okay, I know it’s gonna be amazing, and…[Read more]

True, I was thinking about that too. Bahr, I’ll keep it the same then all around, lol.

To flysinksail: Thank you! Yeah, it’s definitely an eye-catcher and conversation starter….and my artist has gotten way more than an extra 20 for that, lol..she’s amazing.

Interesting..

My cousin is a computer programmer with a few visible tattoos, and he doesn’t seem to have a problem keeping work.
And, an answer to the other part of the questions, which other careers will allow you to have tattoos, I’d have to say Hairstyling. A good majority of them out there, have tattoo(s), including myself so it’s pretty much the norm, I…[Read more]

So I have had 2 sittings for my sleeve, and have at least another 2-3 left to go..I have left a fair amount as a tip after each session…after reading all this it seems like it’s not really the norm, but I feel when I’m getting awesome work done and love every second of it, tipping comes natural…I dunno…I almost feel as if I shouldn’t tip so…[Read more]

Well thank you gnarly! Yeah, I wanted to keep the full sleeve as feminine as I could, the rest of my arm is going to be mostly flowers in different colors with a quote near my wrist somehow.. and more shading similar to the top, I’m stoked.
Yeah, the second jaw baffles a lot of people, but I am loving it’s uniqueness (if thats a word…) and I…[Read more]

Thanks! So am I. At least 3 more sittings…bahr. So worth it, but the wait is killing me!

Thanks guys!
And as for the meaning of the second jaw, it was something my artist did to make it totally unique. To me, its like…feminine with the jaw apart, where as if you were to slide the bottom jaw up, it would be masculine. Know what I mean? It’s a bit odd, but I’m really loving it.

Thanks, Gsouder!

And…the full sleeve in progress…this is after sitting #2. (12 hours in total)

Stars behind my ear….can also see the 2ga stretched earlobes..

The full sleeve in progress…

Ohhhhh!! Ok, I’ll try that! Thanks so much!

OK….how the heck so i post pics on here? I see the one option but it says to enter the URL of my image, but its not online, just on my computer…..*confused* any help would me great! Thx.

Thanks! Yeah, it seems great around here…I have some pics in my profile, but I’ll attempt to post them on here! (gotta figure out how the heck to do it first) lol.
