New work looks sweet. Flames are laughable.

Also dude. I lost my dad when I was young but you don’t flaunt your loss to emotionally bribe people into liking your tattoo. Not fucking cool AT ALL! A shit tattoo is a shit tattoo whether your mum died or not and that, my friend, is a shit tattoo

Nice man. VERY nice

Your zebra is a midget. It’s legs are WAAAYYYYY too short lol

Saying clown tattoos are different is like saying star tattoos are different.
Evil clowns are even more unoriginal than happy clowns. Clowns with guns again TOTALLY generic.
Is it meant to represent something inparticular or is it just a tattoo for tattoos sake?

Granted a lot of people who work out of their homes are shit and potentially dangerous but I was in a licensed shop that was rinsing off needles and using them more than once so you need to research your shop just as thoroughly as you would a scratcher.

I think a lot of ‘scratchers’ have a bad rep that is often unwarrented. A lot of them are…[Read more]

A tattoo with that much detail will not fit on your shoulder blade or it’ll look rubbish.

Price will depend on the artist you go to. My guy is amazing and is only £60 an hour but some people are shit and cost £150. Don’t choose an artist on expense cos it doen’t mean (s)he’ll be any good. If you want the tattoo enough price shouldnt be an issue b…[Read more]

I’m totally confused. You want the wings on your back or ribs? If they wrap onto your ribs you run the risk of it looking rubbish cos the majority of the piece will be on your back and you wont be able to see the bits on your ribs and thus look half/badly done.That’s probably why nobody’s coming up with a design you like.

Also if you’re after…[Read more]

I like it. It’s like stained glass. Simple shapes and vibrant colours. Very nice indeed. Plus the thought you put into it is outstanding. Really REALLY nice piece man 🙂

The circle thing in the background looks to have some pretty nice shading. As has been said before though the pics aren’t the best quality so it’s hard to tell. The word at the bottom of it looks on a slant though but that could just be the way your arm s twisted.

I think any star tats are the antithisis of punk now. Too generic

Holy crap TOPDOG try contributing something of value.
Tattoos often represent major life moments good or bad. Leaving a partner is one such moment. I find tattoos are good for the healing process. If you don’t want ink for your ‘slut’ ex’s then don’t get them but don’t belittle other peoples choices to do so.

Some peoples attitudes towards ink is daft but that’s life, you’ve just got to play the game. I want to be a teacher after uni so I’m carfully considering where I get tattoos.

Maybe you should talk to your boss before you get any larger work just to make sure your job will be safe. Ask them to confirm it in writing so you can sue them if they…[Read more]

It’s hard to say. It’s not greatly visible on the pic. The figure nearest her wrist looks imp-like or like one of the goat dudes (like Mr Tumnus from the lion the witch and the wardrobe) so maybe some kinda black and grey fantasy work but like I say, it’s not a great pic of it so it’s hard to tell.

Congrats 🙂 It looks very cute going over the bump. The only way you’d be able to cover it now is after you give birth. Reputable artists will refuse to ink you if you’re with child just incase you get an infection, it could complicate the pregnancy.

Dead happy for you 🙂 let us know what flavour it is if/when you find out

Wow. Some people are so snobby about tattoos. People with novelty ink don’t always have to regret it. I regret some of my tribal stuff more than my novelties.

Dude you’re normal. A little swelling is normal, peeling is normal, it looking wrinkly is normal. If t starts weeping or if it looks like the picture has peeled away then go to your artist to see what they say. Doctors are a bit useless cos they don’t really know what tattoos are supposed to do. If you go to your artist and he/she says ‘fucking…[Read more]

Hey! I’m not too far away in Sheffield whoop! Dig your sealife centre 🙂 Project iron man is the coolest code name EVER!!!!!

If you’ve had kids I can imagine the tattoo will be a doddle. Show us a pic when it’s done!!!!

It’s a matter of opinion. What was punk then and what is punk now is different. Just look at the bands and music that says it all. Being punk is a mental attitude not a fashion. If you try to be punk without actually being punk you will look like a knob and a poser. NOT COOL!

New school ink seems to be pretty big on the punk scene of late. Lots…[Read more]

Agreed. It’s not massive or too dark so you lucked out somewhat. It looks like a racoon. Cute 🙂
