I have a couple of ideas that I’ve spoken to artists about, but both require flying and saving more money. The third option is getting a rose from a guest artist that’ll be nearby in May (if I can).

Do you find it more satisfying to save up for that perfect one or going and getting a nice one just because it’s more…

Hey I was reading the thread and had 2 books to recommend.

Let me get this straight… your response to her finally deciding that she likes who she is, is to give her links to a dieting and a self-help book?

What do you do for a living? Just curious, as you seem to be traveling and getting new tattoos all the time. You must be doing real well!

Eh I guess I have no need to. I love B/G, but in a neo traditional look I think the color pieces look way better. I like b/g for realistic looking pieces, but I prefer color for traditional or neo traditional tattoos.

how often do you get touch ups? Also, do you typically just tip some or do artists charge?? Just trying to learn =)

I don’t get them to often. It was actually a spur of the moment decision. My ankh I originally got fixed up in October of 2011. It looked totally different before then. This is also the first time getting…[Read more]

Why can’t you get it lasered now? Or color in the entire sun and stars black for more of a tribal look…I’ve seen plenty of Filipino sun and stars in straight black.

Message too short.

What do you mean? color over all of it in black?

I don’t know if you do Instagram, but you should! I got one just to follow tattoo artists I like, so it’s just a newsfeed of photos of tattoos.

Instagram is Twitter for people who can’t read.

I could probably get into that.

to those with leg tats, do you shave your legs on a daily basis? I’ve noticed some people with hairy ass legs and tattoos, and it really takes away from the tattoo haha.

I have fairly hairy legs, don’t shave them. Way too much trouble, I shave my head every other day or so and that’s enough shaving for me. I am a little…[Read more]

I am blessed with very fine hair on my legs, arms, and unfortunately, my head. I don’t need to shave other than facial hair.

A full sleeve! Maybe a skull somewhere too, I don’t have it in me to put a skull on my body yet!

i thought i wouldnt be getting any skulls or dragons because i always liked to be “different” and didnt want what so many others had. but now i have 3 skulls with more on the way…

Considering my pace of getting tattoos is way slower than a lot of people on here I’ll stick with trying to book the best if they ever roll through Oregon. Luckily Jeff Gogue’s shop has a steady stream of good artists going through. I went down there once and got 5 hours of work in my back, made for a miserable 4 hour drive…

Interesting, as someone who reads a lot on here I was under the impression everyone was all about going to the well-known hard to book artists.

Well I am but I’m a tattoo snob lol 🙂

Do you guys always seek out the top artists or do you just use a good local artist?

I’m lucky to have a very good artist locally. Is he known world wide? No. Will he be? I don’t know. He is young and inspired.

There is so much talent out there now that you can get awesome artists for peanuts. I know of quite a few that are very cheap on a day rate, like 400 euros a day.

Yes you may have to travel but totally worth it!
