In theory the tattoo would stay where it was placed, unless you are talking about extreme changes in weight one way or the other.

I would be more concerned with the original placement of the tattoos and making sure they are done straight to begin with. Its very difficult for some artists to do straight lines over short distances, let alone over…[Read more]

I just wanted to bump this thread back to the top so I could look at those pics again. I mean, just for the tattoos, of course…

Congrats on the birth of your son! This is such a great time for you! Give your wife our congrats, too. I think she did some of the work… :rolleyes:

I like the idea of the watch with the birth time, very unique and personal. I also really like the idea of having the watch rest atop of something, just not sure of the hands idea though. Is…[Read more]

I don’t know… I always thought the best part of those beautiful stockings (and the seams that come with them) was the fact that they come off! 😉

Liz,

I might advise staying away from some of your more feminine female type areas with the saying “No sacrifice, No victory” if you know what I mean? Could be taken the wrong way down the road. 😉

I do like the one on the thigh the most, to be honest. I actually think the chest tattoo is the least attractive location, though.

Good luck with…[Read more]

Dan, meet Wardy. Wardy, Dan. My work here is done.

Dude! You have a half-naked Boba Fett on you! Nice… 😎

I know that certain colors mean certain things for Hanya masks. Dark red means really angry, I believe? You may want to look into that part before making a decision there. But it looks really nice! You should be very happy with that!

The necktie one is the worst of the bunch! 😮

Seriously? How many times has that girl had issues to the point where she had to get that tattooed on her… IN TWO DIRECTIONS! As if right side up wasn’t enough! Man!

Dude, I can’t believe you snuck around my house taking pictures like that! I gotta close the curtains around here. Maybe that’ll keep Wardy off my red headed sister…

I never said that was a bad thing, just wanted the guy to know his audience, that’s all. You know folks on this forum can be brutal and very judgemental, Standard. At the end of the day, he is the only one who has to be happy with the work on his skin. Not, you, me, his ex-girlfriend, or anyone else.

I did tell him that he would need to get it…[Read more]

Agreed. The good ones are more akin to collages. They have planets, comets, nebulae, even astronauts. I think that a straight Milky Way tattoo would be problematic at best, and pretty awful at worst. Maybe expand your scope and incorporate some of those additional features?

Be really careful about who you choose and look into their work…[Read more]

Okay, the good news is that it does look better now than it did after Phase 1. But, the bad news is that you’re not going to win any awards with it, either.

Tribal is never going to get good feedback here, dj. And the folks here have really, really high standards for what they consider a quality tattoo. That being said, there is only one…[Read more]

Most artists will charge a deposit to start your artwork (the amount of trhe deposit will go toward your tattoo cost, so its not a waste unless you walk). All artists are different here. Mine last summer charged a $60 deposit, but for larger work at premium shops, three figures is not unheard of.

Thats a fairly common Japanese style tatto, and…[Read more]

thanks mate made up with it 🙂

Uh huh huh… He said “mate”. Uh huh huh…

I don’t know… I just wish he would have put a little thought into it ahead of time.

Sounds like the guy has done his homework and has thought the thing through. I mean, doing it for the right reasons and has come up with a design that is special to him. As far as the artist and shop…

Folks here are just looking out for you, that’s all. There are pages and pages of posts on this site with people who turned 18 and got…[Read more]

How about this: Does he have any idea where he got it? Maybe asking the artist would be a good start.

Does anyone else think it looks like one of those funny Olympic event symbols? You know, like when they show the javelin toss or swimming, they use those funny people symbols to represent the event on TV. Some kind of Olympic-tribal hybrid?

Is anyone else seeing the republican elephant there? lol

That’s the first thing I thought of, too!

Happy B-Day! I hope you don’t mind, but I got you the same thing as last year…
