there was a petition with thousands of signatures on it to get him closed down…. it never happened!!

@Tana: thanks! It’s why I chose that particular artist, he draws such elegant designs and turns them into real nice tattoo’s…

@Outlaw: Actually, it only faded a little. The artist warned me about that as well, but I think he’ll be pleasantly surprised too when I’m going for my check-up. In my opinion, it looks really nice and natural now……[Read more]

AWSOME! thanks for ur replies everyone!!

im not sure what response you were expecting ??

take it to the artist of your choice, he will look at it and say what it needs to make it work on you, if it needs any tweeking then he will do it for you. I dont think the hat looks quite right IMO

design wise it looks pretty cool, and as for length of time to do… all artists…

i dont want to sound like a complete twat here, but did i read that correctly…. you have only been together for 7 months and your married to him allready ??????

nice idea of them flowers but that would not cover the original black. as stated you could possibly hide it with a butterly. but i think it would take something stronger such as an school style rose.

You are of course right when you say the colours would not cover the black (unless it was lightened with lazar treatment…[Read more]

i have never heard of it meaning it will cause the death of one of you, but we always say to people dont tattoo your partners name as it is an omen, most coverups we get asked to do are to hide the name of a previous partner as the relationship has ended, if you are very young ie… 19 yrs old and been with your partner for say…

there are a few wobbly lines but nothing that cant be touched up, i dont think the swords at the bottom are doing his work any justice, and dont think the swords blades will withstand the challenge of time,.. im probably being premature and he may have just put quick scratch outlined to save having to re-stencil it, then sculpt…

there is no way i would have a piece done by him, i dont like his holier than though attitude, yes he is good but he aint the only artist that can do work like that, and how he can sit there and not speak to the client is unbelievable… the banter is part of the experience… i would jump at the chance of a piece by dan gold…

and when it does start itching, slap it….. seriously, not so hard that it makes you cry… but just hard enough to make it tingle and the itching will stop
