I am going to get my second tattoo tomorow. I got my first one while in wildwood 2 years ago so I can’t remember what I used then other than it was something from the tattoo shop. I’ve heard many people use A+D on their tattoo for the first few days however i’ve also heard some are allergic to the lanolin in it so I got…[Read more]

While I too just started the whole blog thing, mine are never going to be informative posts. They will be posts purely on my opinions of things. Using a forum as a source for a paper is ignorant unless the writer says something like “thetattooforum.com” as their source and they don’t do any direct stealing.

Everything is stolen on the internet. I…[Read more]

Saint/Sinner Ambigram. It looks really good..

If I felt really horribly disrespected I would have deleted your post. No harm done, let’s just try to stay on topic.

I know there’s one girl on our forum who has one… I’ll have to find it…

No problem. Can’t wait to see it once it’s done. 🙂

There are generally a few KEY elements to every design. There are things you can do without as well. The artist generally knows these things. If you are wanting a very busy design, give the artist those things that HAVE to be in the piece then give them random other things to choose to tie it together. These things are small and usually easily…[Read more]

An alpha wolf in a wolf pack. I think of the alpha symbol and a wolf.

5 of hearts. Have the artist stylize it in a girly way. It would be really cool to make it a card.

Another idea is to connect them like a tree. Have each heart be the leaf on a branch or whatever.

I have been to 4 different places and the artists keepcoming up with similar designs, which is why i came on this to see if anyone else could help me.

And that my friends is why the forum is here. Lemme do some quick searching and I’ll get back with you on some images.

This thread will be very useful once it catches on. It’ll be for people who are really serious about getting Ambigram tats. I had a coworker tell me he was looking for some and I remembered seeing some on our forum. I thought… why not create a thread about them. It may take a while, but that’s ok. I think Ambigram tats are the only word/text…[Read more]

I want to go to one of those SOOOOO badly!! Awesome pics and righteous trophy man!

I have a rib panel line work piece. I’m getting it done this summer with shading.

To answer your main question: It hurt like fuck.

I don’t take pain well. I screamed for the first 30 minutes. It was a four hour sitting. I just couldn’t get used to the intensity. But I’m a very skinny/boney person. The entire piece sucked. Shading is supposed to…[Read more]

Been here since 2008. Welcome to my world. XP!!!!!

As for the original post: Look through some of our albums to get ideas. And yes.. Go around to some parlors and get some artists to design ideas for you. Good luck.

First… what does the cross mean to you? I can’t decide for you what it means… Sometimes people have wings or feathers added to crosses… Also some meaningless background wouldn’t hurt. Any tattoo artist could work with you and come up with something.

Mom I’d like to introduce you to my fiance, Lizard Man. He asked me to marry him!!!
