I only use ink made from the blood of baby kittens. Its just gets your more connected with nature and stuff… lol

as long as you aren’t going over the same spot, you’ll be fine. Its not like the ink is toxic and you have to wait for your system to pass it. If its close to the last place you got ink, its gonna hurt cause its sensitive. But if its in a completely different place, it should be fine (just one more place to not scratch and make sure it heals right).

Its not bad as long as the artist isn’t heavy handed. I tattooed my own forearm, workin on the whole half sleeve. If I can do it to myself with no pain at all, you should be fine… unless you are a wimp or the artist doesn’t like you very much.

I try not to judge, but I can’t help but think you shouldn’t ever touch a tattoo gun again

Not to be a jerk, but I agree. Tattooing is an art, if you can’t draw, what makes you think you can tattoo? Its not like its fixing a light or changing bed sheets, its art and its on someones skin!

But for the record, too deep, and…[Read more]
