That Dali piece is awesome 🙂

Personally, I know they’re a hassle to heal. It looks like it’s scarred, the skin is raised and continually flakes. Eventually (in my experience) it turns normal, but it takes a long time (over a month)

Well, there goes your membership haha. Spamming P.O.S

I’d imagine that there would be quite a few tattooists who won’t tattoo you

If you go on the ribs, you’ll be able to cover it a lot better, but you’d have to make it huge to look real good. To make it look real badass, you’d probably have to start from below the hip and go right up to the armpit, being quite wide too.

The idea sounds awesome dude, kinda reminds me a bit of my girlfriend’s (Daisy De La Hoya) sleeve.

Personally I would love a sleeve like that too except have a haunted mansion piece – dracula, frankenstein, werewolves, the whole gang in there. You gotta find an artist who would will do it justice though.

I wear long sleeves for my job, and had a…[Read more]

Hey dude, there’s a mod here (Izzarink) who is a tattooist from NZ.

If you’re riding a Buell I’m sure you have plenty of money to put towards sleeves 😀

I hope I get this job I had an interview for!

The colours aren’t going to be as bright as when you first got them – layers of skin heal over the ink, and skin’s not 100% transparent.
As for the lotions, I’ve heard Aquaphor is fine (haven’t used it myself), and any non-scented sort of lotion should be ok to use a few days later.
Most artists do a touch up free of charge.

I went with my left arm (my opposite). I’ve got 2 moles on my right arm and just thought it would be easier to just do it on my left arm.

Looks pretty sick dude 😀

Maybe you should get some fake tattoos I heard those are less painful…

Nah don’t do that man, you could get a papercut, that would hurt too much…

In Australia where I live, you’re probably more likely to get a job in a fashion store if you have tattoos. Not a formal wear shop, but something aimed at younger people.

I’ve got something called a Tatjacket, it’s a flesh coloured piece of nylon stuff (like a stocking) that covers up your tatts pretty well. I’ve got a job interview Monday, if…[Read more]

Good luck dude, the only person I’ve ever seen lucky enough to have that job is that girl off LA Ink.

I’ve got a Black Cat set of healing stuff, there’s special spray on soap stuff, salve and lotion. I didn’t use the soap, just the salve.
I don’t soap it, but I don’t cover it up in the shower either, I let a bit of water run over it.
Every time I get another session on my arm, it scabs up big time over 1-2 weeks. I don’t use the lotion until the…[Read more]

Thanks Butterfly, I got a severed head, I might put some pictures up when it’s healed.

Ah well what can you do. It’s done damage but hopefully it’s all easily fixed. I was mighty pissed off when I did it, more relaxed now.

Once it’s all healed up we’ll see what we can do, I can already tell there’s parts that are going to look majorly faded and scarred. Hopefully blasting more ink into it solves the problem.
