First of all… you’re lucky Sherav decided to answer your survey or no one would have. Second it’s a good thing you had specific questions as to what you wanted people to answer. Otherwise, you would have gotten no answers.

So that we at the forums can get a better idea of what you’re talking about, you may want to take a picture and attach it to the above post.

It looks like the cross is apart of the crest. I think it’s beautiful when a man shows his love for his wife and family. I hope I end up with someone as loyal as you. It’s an awesome tattoo.

For mine.. (rib panel) I got really annoyed with music for about the first hour. I was yelling at the shop receptionist to turn the music off for a while until I got straightened out. My endorphins never really kicked in…? Or if they did, it wasn’t enough for me. I don’t really tolerate pain very well but besides that, I’m super boney. Taking…[Read more]

Polynesian ink is so intricate. I think it makes anything look good. And yeah, I don’t think it actually means anything in particular… If you’re looking for meaning outside of what you already know, you may want to look up some Polynesian symbolism. That or if you didn’t pick out your design yourself, ask your artist.

I think it’s so much…[Read more]

OMG it’s beautiful!!! I love the water. It’s awesome. Congratsssss! Take more pictures when you get the top half done!! <3

In the words of a toddler…

POOPY!

I agree with the time frames listed above. This is going to be a major piece for you and it’s not something you should rush into.

However, I have an idea as well:

How about if you take a stylized version of the skyline of berlin and wrap it around your forearm. have the base of the buildings on your wrist and have them…[Read more]

Love the circuitry . It’s unique and simple all in one. My fave.

Generally artists either require a deposit for art or a fee for anything that they illustrate for you. You shouldn’t do this until further on down the line. It’s disrespectful to bring one artist’s work to another one’s studio.

As far as legibility? All ink fades in time. Everyone gets touch ups now and again. But the artist you pick will be…[Read more]

Hey there welcome to the forums. I got my tat in Dallas. What are you going to get?

Just as ArniVidar said, you need a lot more time to think this through. At least a year to six months minimum to think up a design. But I have an idea for you.

First off, cute idea. However, from looking at your drawing, you have too much negative space. Let me explain: You don’t want there to be so much skin or blank space between objects.…[Read more]

In my personal opinion, text ink always looks unfinished. But… if you add on to it too much, then it won’t keep its appeal. It’s easy to make lettering look bad. You could fill in the bottom half of the gradient with a color. I recommend red. Hope that helps.

Hey there, I posted on your other thread. Welcome to the forum. If you have any questions, lemme know. As said before, really interested in seeing your ink. Until then… take care.

Oh is it? Thanks for the great forum tip! 😉 I asked because it wasn’t a recent discussion and with new members and new people getting ink done all the time, I saw no issue in asking again.

Can I also point out that this thread wasn’t aimed to find out where the “easiest” areas were so I could get ink done there, it was…[Read more]

Haha yeah.. well I mean he told me he’s had people pass out before… Buuuut they usually managed to inform him that they do that. Me on the other hand… I sorta forgot.

Just think… what if you were a piercer and your client passed out while their private parts were getting pierced? AHAHHAA

That’s probably why I would never get anything…[Read more]

But all jokes aside… seriously… we hate pain and we hate needles.

That’s brilliant. Absolutely love it. You should be very proud.

Lil Wayne is… not attractive to me. It’s not so much his tattoos though. He was ugly before the ink… and then the ink made him uglier… Heh.. sorry. Just my opinion. I like ink done well. Call me arrogant but if I see someone with a ton of small shitty tats I’m going to look down my nose at them. If I see someone with several and they all…[Read more]

If you go in expecting it not to be too bad, then you’re retarded. Don’t be over confident about the pain of getting ink done. (That is unless you get some on a regular basis.) My artist told me that it’s the big burly tough guys who pass the fuck out. It’s the skinny bitches who take it the best. Pain tolerance differs per person. And as said…[Read more]
