It’s true, I have a theme over my body but now I just say “wings and weapons” to whatever artist I have chosen and wait to see what they come up with! Best thing to do is research artists that you like (download the brag art list app on your phone and it will tell you all the local artists to you that are worth going to, if they aren’t on that…[Read more]

I like your reference picture.

Make sure you do your research to find an artist who will do it justice!

When it comes to your family you have three options:
1) Wimp out and don’t get a tattoo and let other people rule your life
2) Get the tattoo somewhere hidden and make sure none of them see it
3) Get the tattoo wherever you like, wear it…[Read more]

Fact of the matter is, people are generally kinda boring. Unless they are your friends and you understand their humour and stuff, watching other people can be kinda dull, so it has to be scripted in some ways or it would just be a bunch of people quietly getting tattooed. I don’t personally feel the need to sit there and explain my sob stories for…[Read more]

Sorry guys, asked the bf, he’s already unhappy that the piercer saw my boobs let alone the internet lol, I imagine it looks the same as all the other pierced titties!

Turns out though that the piercer used a bar that was too small so I was in agony for a week, he’s now replaced it with a longer bar and now I love it (because I’m no longer in…[Read more]

I got my nipple pierced on Friday as a surprise for my boyfriend because he’s been going on about it forever. I still can’t decide if I like it and it still hurts like fuck lol

Do you know what always makes me laugh?

When people come in and say “I want your honest opinion” and then when they get it say dumb things like “Well I guess you’re just not a nature guy”

No, that’s not the case, neither is personal taste in content relevant, we are discussing the technique and skill that has gone into your work which is…[Read more]

Would have been awesome if the chick had been tattooed too, but oh well… baby steps! lol

Don’t scar any more of your friends and family. That is called a scratcher. You have no training, you have no idea what you are doing and you are doing the people you love no favours. Draw and make a portfolio and then look for a proper apprenticeship under a decent mentor. Do not risk diseasing anyone else.

What you are doing is seriously…[Read more]

please tell me you’re a formal apprentice. I doubt it if you’ve done 6 tattoos and have only been in the industry for a month because if you were an apprentice you would still be sketching, sketching, sketching.

my advice is

STOP!!! DO NOT TATTOO ANYONE ELSE!

Draw lots, make a portfolio, find a mentor, take an apprenticeship and work your way…[Read more]

Hang on, wait, so you skin dead people and stretch their skin so that other people can hang said dead persons skin on their wall…

that’s so super gross lol

Just tilt it.

Lower it a tiny bit and tilt it so its almost on a diagonal.

Will flow nice with the natural curve of the body without looking abrupt and then it will be easier to decide an inch higher or lower based on where it meets your hip bones etc. Job done.

Plus in my opinion always bigger never smaller. the smaller you go the less detail…[Read more]

Honestly I have no idea! I told him I had a black and grey realism piece in mind and I have a wings a weapons theme over my body and to just do whatever he fancied, he’s showing me the reference on the 15th October! I cant wait to see it given how excited he seems to be for it! I’m hoping the excitement is a really good sign that he’s going to…[Read more]

Still bollocks…

That was a waste of thirty seconds of my life….

And still nobody cares…

Bro you totally cant quote me and then edit my quote to suit your perverted nature lol

We learn the most from our average tattoos. Onwards and upwards I’d say.

I like this forum because it’s honest and people are friendly. Girls here don’t attack each other like they do on the other forum and I don’t get creepy private messages from strangers on here either.

This is like family home, there you’re at a mates house, you’re not a complete stranger but you’re not completely comfortable.

I don’t wrap or cover mine, wash it after you take the cling film off the first time and then leave it alone, a little bit of bepanthen or moisturiser if it starts to get dry and that’s it.

I can login fine now but I have a new problem instead.

It only started today but now when I click a tab e.g. “New Posts” the page goes blank of content as if to load the new page content into the standard forum template but then it doesn’t load the new page content unless I click in the blank space a couple of times
