Welcome. Pics pics pics!

Those are way better pics. I like!

Hi Charlie. Welcome to the forum!

I’m not terrified of needles – I am full blown phobic about them. I have to have all my dental work done under sedation because I cannot hold still for a needle. I know it doesn’t make sense, but to me getting a tattoo is getting scratched but getting a ‘needle’ is getting a hole poked in me. My brain sees…[Read more]

I like colorful, unique tattoos. I don’t care who does my work as long as it’s pleasing to the eye.

Early on I got some shit tattoos that have now been gone over and made presentable. I’ve learned a hell of a lot on this forum, thank you all.

I fully respect your collections of world class tattoos, but that’s not me.…

I generally dont name drop. Should i?
I mean ive only got two “names” really. Lol.

I personally (lately) have been more interested in collecting the artist than specific subject matter.
Just wondering how you guys (with a lot more experience dealing with high demand artists) go about securing appts.

When I was talking…[Read more]

Two good reasons for asking for a link to see the artist’s work: sometimes people here save people from getting sub-par work, sometimes the link helps us discover an artist we love and haven’t seen work from yet.

And I think that Buttwheat meant it in more of an “everybody” says they want to lose some weight. Because if he wanted to be…[Read more]

How small is too small?

I was thinking more like 4 or 5 inches

That’s what SHE said. 😉

To the OP: I have several small stars on my foot, done about 8 years ago. The small ones are about half an inch. Pics of when they were first done are in my album. None of the points are pointy any more, all have rounded a bit.…[Read more]

LOVE that. Nice composition and well executed, too. I really like that silhouetted lady at the bottom, nice touch.

“I’m a grown man (or woman) and I wanted a tattoo.” That is enough of a reason.

But my opinion, for what it’s worth, is that you need to “earn” a tattoo on your neck or hands. By that I mean that you should have a number of other tattoos. When I see someone with only a neck tattoo I don’t think that they are necessarily a thug but I do get a…[Read more]

Learn a lesson from this. I know that the first few times that you get tattooed you can be pretty nervous, but it is VERY important to take a good long look at the stencil once it is on your skin to make sure that it is correct, (and right side up!) before you let them start the tattoo.

And find a better tattoo artist.

I really also liked the gas mask but I saw it as 2 different pieces. Why can’t you foreigners spell color?

I saw them as two distinct pieces too, but I really like the way they look together.

Oh my. How did you possibly make it thru that long without tv when the final season of SOA is on??? I would have had to go over to a friend’s place and hijack the remote control!!

I’m glad it wasn’t something more serious. How’s the new place?

Nice stuff in that album. I didn’t want it to end. I especially like the b&g gas mask on the colour chestplate. And that skull on the back of your shoulder.

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing your stuff. Looked up a couple of those guys on IG because I wasn’t familiar with them. Liked what I saw.

Welcome to the forum Robin. Can’t wait to see what you put in your album.

Welcome. I like to find a really fantastic artist, give them a concept, maybe a couple of references, and let them run with it. The result is always way different, and WAY better than anything that I could imagine.

I have some writing on me and I never hold it still for anyone to read, because it’s a boring part of a piece. But I certainly…[Read more]

Ya … that happens!

Welcome to the forum.

I HATE mushrooms. Blecht. The smell. The taste. Mostly the texture.

But that is a pretty sweet addition to your food tattoos. (I bet you like mushrooms :p)

Ola, Philip. Welcome to the forum.
