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

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.

all of my tattoos get dull looking after the first week then when fully healed (about 2 and a half weeks) they brighten right back up.

But itching is normal, I think the glossy is part of picking at it when its not supposed to be… but it all varies.

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 you aren’t following the contours of the body.

That symbol is a religious anomaly. Its just like the star or a cross. The original meaning for the Germanic and Nordic tribes was of the sun/ sunwheel or the turning sun. Its original name is the hakenkreuz… it was never stolen from anyone.

If he wants it, go for it. I’ve inked ’em on people before. Skinheads get ’em and so do a lot of Buddhist.

I’m second generation American immigrated from Germany, this symbol has a lot of meaning to my people and its not because of the war. My family is Wotanist and it has a lot of history with us. It was also used traditionally to mark graves in Finland and Scandinavia. They’ve found them on graves in China as well from when Nordic tribes traded with Asia.
