Congrats…

Rates vary greatly from location to location, where I live that would be quite reasonable.

Welcome to the forum!

I really love Remis work, he’s in Dublin. Super nice guy, too.

Welcome to the forum!

I feel like the artist wasted a lot of the inner arm with all those clouds. But it’s a nice start. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Is your first sentence supposed to say that you don’t use a petroleum based lubricant during the tattoo, or that you use no lubricant at all during the tattoo. No petroleum=good. No glide=OUCH. I cannot imagine how much the wiping would hurt without glide.

“The single best thing they can do is keep it clean.” is so true.

Nice one!!

I think that if you put something on the other shoulder blade, that is a similar size/shape as the flag, then you could ad a bit of background around the cross (maybe leaving an empty oval shape around the whole cross then clouds or rays or something?) that you would get the balance that you are looking for. Also, it will look less unbalanced…[Read more]

This sums it up.

Can’t wait to see this one finished.

They were a bunch of old “you have been quoted” emails. They must have been hung up in a server somewhere and all got released at once.

I got a bunch, too.

“It’s a little bruised” LOL

I like them all, nice. I really like the flower below the mermaid! Looks like a great way to spend time together, and show off your lovely wife.

The most obvious design to cover that with something small would be a cross, but I see that isn’t the particular direction that you want to go. (although I have a cross and am not religious at all)

Although they do appreciate some leeway in the case of a cover up normally you need to give the artist some direction, some kind of starting point.…[Read more]

Oh, man. I read it as Dreary too. You are kind of stuck with using the same ‘s’ as in impossible, and that means that the swoop wil be before the end of the word.

I guess you have learned the hard way to really take a good long look at a stencil before it is a tattoo. Sucks though, sorry.

Tattoo artists put their work next to other stuff all the time, so they know how to make different styles and images work together. Since you are going in knowing that it is going to be a half sleeve then the artist will be able to make it all flow and work with the existing piece.

Love your sleeve idea BTW. Share pics when it is done, please!

No. Just unscented soap (like Dial Gold).

Not one of the three circles are round. Plus the black looks patchy. That top line REALLY needs to be fixed. If this was done by a “very skilled artist” then they were having a very off day.

Your link isn’t working. But, some people have allergy issues with some brands of red ink. If it is a mild allergy it may just take longer to heal. If it is a worse allergy the ink could be rejected by your body. If there isn’t any itch, pain, swelling, oozing etc. then give it some time.

Lianne Moule??? Go for it!!! Georgia can wait.
