hip hurts like hell and is a hard place to heal, Im all with upper thigh, or lower stomach towards front just above pants line

Im with yodaddy, make it go away, get the tattoo you really want to wear for the rest of your life

cool we cant wait to see it, welcome

looks good, very traditional piece

to be honest I never used them, I bought books for reference, western style stuff , classic pinup, cars, planes, animals and used them for reference, believe me working with other artists is the best medicine, you leanr so much and quickly too!

very well said david, proportion way off on first piece, jawline, mouth it is all off, farther eye is bigger than nearer, etc
hanya missed by a long shot, refer to references,
old dragon is close
skull is pretty good, mandible is kinda sharp shaped but heck some are (I own several skulls)
I like the front half of the koi, bodyu is too long for me,…[Read more]

I will sleep with a losely taped saran wrap over it, edges open, with A&D lightly applied over it, I can sleep this way first couple nights without issue, I am a heavy sleeper that needs his sleep………………….Ive done it a time or two

yup, looking strong, cant wait to see this finished

beautiful work, congrats

honestly, you draw good, high school level in this piece, it is composed ok, decent flow, other aspects need some work,
I would suggest you do as I did, join a local college art class, if your lucky enough to have a good one close an art college, even if all you can take is weekend class,
you will find it very valuable to see where you are…[Read more]

fighting fish or hummingbird, full color (got to do them justice)

it is all in the quality of artist, this one doesnt have a lot of talent, this tattoo can easily be redone, I would have them redo the whole thing, piece of cake

its peeling now so you can back off the aftercare products,
let that baby dry, give it two weeks and lets have a look, should be fine

much, much better, congrats

cool I did 8 hours on blade, 10 the other, no problem, good area like your bicep, its tough,

to me the pain is about not thinking about the pain, those first few minutes suck ass, lets face it, then once your body starts numbing from the buzz of those coils it chills out, then you get your mind on something else and keep it on something else,

I bring snacks, drinks, something to read, my laptop with music and videos and a movie or two,
plus I like to talk, never had a problem, for just 5 hours you shouldnt need too much,

we are non conformists, why would you expect society or worse yet, the business world to accept you as one of them,

I dont wear 244 hours of ink to be accepted, I wear it partly as a fuck you to them

welcome to the forum, the right artist is everything, good luck

no doubt……………

yup, we choose to modify our bodies, employers have the right to protect shareholders,

whining is f’n gay
