Seriously.. it looks like a prison tattoo… but not one you’d get in prison? If that makes any sense at all…

Wow lovely, you should be very proud.

Haha gotcha. I’ll space out the bouquet roses at the top a little then to give the ink room once I get to drawing them.

The girl in the picture with the tat already? She’s in for a surprise.

Yup that was pretty hilarious to read, I must say. Skinny GAY guys get tats on their lower abdomens but straight ones get them on their sides or upper back.

Really? Wow.. then they probably need to be slightly spread out…

1. I’m a tattoo enthusiast
2. I don’t really like lettering tattoos
3. Fonts require a very steady hand, a patient client, and a creative mindset.
4. Bold dark lettering with interesting angles and shapes look the best.
5. The same type of fonts for graphic design and the like are popular for tattoos like cursive fonts, old english, “suicide…[Read more]

Well I just got a scanner/printer not too long ago… when I have the time, I’ll draw something up for you and we’ll see if I can make you something you’ll like. It’s not the actual art that’s tricky, I suppose it’s the design. What kind of roses were you thinking for the wrist? I know you wanted them sorta specific as well.

Look at the ingredients and post em up on this thread.

My ink didn’t scab at all.

Totally understand. Print out a couple of those and show your artist which elements from each picture you want incorporated in the tattoo. Best of luck!

Hello and welcome to the forum. I don’t see why a tattoo on the shoulder blade would affect the workplace. Were you planning on showing off your shoulder anytime soon? Usually the workplace doesn’t like sleeves, chest, hands, or neck. But if you can keep your ink hidden, what the workplace doesn’t know, won’t hurt em. Also if you’re super worried…[Read more]

Understandable and you’re not appearing to be an asshole at all. You’re wise to know what you want and know the consequences of getting something that looks like crap. I applaud your decision. Give me a few minutes and I’ll have the pictures for you.

Welcome to the forum. You should really have someone else take a picture of that ink on your shoulder for you. It’s super blurry and you may be misrepresenting it by posting a photo like that. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Otherwise, talk to ya later.

Well hello there and welcome. I understand what you’re talking about as far as tacky goes. I’m all about class in the designing stage of a tat. Sail boats are a really hard design to portray on skin without looking like a stamp or something but I think I might be able to help you out. You said you didn’t want something that will have to be redone…[Read more]

Since I really don’t know what you’re talking about as far as style goes, here’s a list of rose tattoos with different styles that I thought you might like. There’s only so much you can describe with words I guess. Once you’ve looked over the compilation, we can go from…[Read more]

Ya a maine coon is a purebred cat…. and scrubmuncher’s nickname from me is Scrubs.

It’s hard to say and I’d suggest that you show us a picture so that we can better assess the situation.

How many days in are we? And how long did you leave the bandages on your tattoo?

Basically what I’m trying to say is… you’ve not given us enough information.

I’d say no. Work out in another fashion. Do you really want to risk the fading of those fresh colors or wait an extra week? Go running, lift some weights, etc until your tat is done doing its thing.
