I’ve seen a lot of weird bras at certain stores, like, ones where the cups are just free floating and stick to your boobs or little nipple covers so you can’t see nipple through the shirt. These may work depending on the size of your boobs. Also, there are the low back strap bra things, so if you turn the bra into a halter and get the low back…[Read more]

I don’t have anything against text tattoos, I am considering getting one/two (one that’s mostly text, another that has text in it but is a bigger piece). I have a friend who only has text tattoos though. Roman numerals, letters, and a phrase, and now wants ANOTHER phrase, all on her back in different fonts. Really, really not looking that great. I…[Read more]

I really hate the process of getting tattooed (and pierced) and I really hate the healing process. Of both. I go into the shop with a mixture of intense excitement and anxiety. Only once was the pain so unbearable for me I had to stop a session, but I was with an artist who was a tool… A great ARTIST, but he really had a thing for grinding…[Read more]

Looks good. There seems to be a lot of random black splats in there are those going to be tied into the shading? or are the just some kind if fuck up? It almost looks as if they tattooed some of the random purple off of the transfer.

I took this right after I pulled the bandage off and the initial ink that seeped out…[Read more]

I have a strong bias towards brightly colored tattoos so of course I’m going to say color.

I think the subject matter of the tattoo calls for color in this case. It looks really nice the way it is but I feel that having color would definitely be an enhancement. If I were you I would fully color it in, instead of just doing accents (I think you…[Read more]

I think it’s a really bad idea to get pierced before you’re 16 and inked before you’re 18. Hell, I think most people who are 18 or 19 shouldn’t be getting tattooed either :/ (some people take longer to mature, as we all know, plenty of people this age are totally ready to commit)

That said, just because it’s an awful idea doesn’t mean it should…[Read more]

I think is also depends a lot on your personal level of tolerance. I have two tattoos that are below the elbow. I am also, for whatever reason, always way colder than everyone else in the room. I mean, every once in a while I get warm, but for the most part having long sleeves doesn’t bother me at all. Usually when I’m inside, unless there’s…[Read more]

THANKS everyone. Still thinking about it, but I have a few more weeks before I get it colored. I’ll post the final results when I do 🙂

The worst thing I ever did before getting tattooed was take caffeine pills. This was years ago, I took them to stay awake earlier in the day, but that day the pain was unbearable and I couldn’t sit still for the life of me. I now never take those pills and generally avoid caffeine, but ESPECIALLY when I am getting tattooed.

Eating snacks while…[Read more]

I don’t really think there are areas for men a women other than MAYBE lower back to some people, but I’ve seen men with lower back tattoos and I think they look just fine. I think it’s more the content of the tattoo than the location. Then again, I have tattoos on my arm and I’m a woman. And many people seem to think this is rather manly, despite…[Read more]

I agree that there could be a little touch up done BUT I think it looks great your artist really did a good job making your idea into something cool. Haven’t seen a “graffiti” tattoo before.

I’ve actually always loved tattoos and been obsessed with them. I mena, I don’t remember as a small child but as soon as I got the internet when I was 12 (22 now) I joined body mod forums and stuff even though I had none, just because I was fascinated and wanted to talk to people with tattoos. I didn’t get my first one until I was 20 because I put…[Read more]

Sometimes I feel bad when I stare, because I only have one visible tattoo I’ve had for a week and I’ve already had people just stare at it blankly, but usually when I stare I am just admiring. Recently I couldn’t take my eyes off some woman (and I’m a straight female) because she had one full sleeve and one sleeve almost finished, a chest piece,…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum.

I love the cupcake and the flower. Especially the cupcake.
Just interested, what made you decide to get the cupcake?

I got the cupcake because I love baking cute cupcakes but I’m by no means a baker, haha. Over time “cupcake” has become the pet name I use for everything that I am fond of, right now my…[Read more]
