I have always used A&D and have never came across any issues yet. As instructed just apply a very light layer just enough to make it seem to shine. Good luck with the first.

Personally I did not find the pain of underarm to be anything terrible. As im sure you know, what pain there is will be well worth it if you have chosen the right tattoo/artist, plus thats part of the expierence. Having that fresh in your mind and maybe a little gum to chew on makes it very tolerable for me. Good luck! 🙂

congrats, finished piece should look great.

Awesome man, can’t wait for the final.

Looks good man, congrats.

Mmmm scratcher sauce. Nice….

Awesome thanks again, I actually have heard of them and it seems like a pretty stand-up place. Also a little closer to home which is nice.

Thank you very much, I will be sure to check them all out.

Welcome to the group

Welcome to the group.

The old man with the pipe and the one below are amazing. Great B/G work (imo).

Looks good man, grats on the fresh ink.

Welcome to the group, hope ya find what your looking for.

Yea unless you have plenty of extra pennies around to get that removed make sure you get what you want from someone respectable. I don’t know if any of you guys got far enough to read any of the comments but Rob409 somethin had a great comeback/defense. Owned all the narrow minded. +1 in my book.

There are many variables for determining a time frame, speed of artist, detail, size, color. Just make sure you do your research and find someone who will really make the work look great. Good luck and throw some pics up if ya do decide to get one done.

Wow man that sucks. Im with mrchen here and gonna say try to see if someone can add on to fix it and make it what you really want. Or find that guy and make him pay for your laser, jk.

Wow nice work. I really like the one with the hand on the shoulder putting/pulling the puzzle pieces. Looks like I should stop by Greece.

I like your work man, lots of different styles. The Bruce Lee and Ruger are very cool. Keep up the good work and hopefully the apprenticship goes well.

Looks good, do you know the story behind the cat with the paw raised? I thought it might be aa asian symbol of luck or something. Just curious b/c I printed a whole mess of shirts with that on it recently. Keep up the good work.

Your body, your choice. I think it looks fine. I also like the font and color. Congrats man.
