Question: Has anyone ever seen well-done female genital tattoos?

Can’t think of one, but genital tats really aren’t my thing.
Some areas of skin are meant to never meant to be visited by needles IMO!

And the people on this site say my little 1 inch black tat can’t be saved and the only way is lazer removal, screw this site.

PMSL!!! hardly a little 1″ tat and it’s far from very faded and Years old!

Anyway, congrats OP, it’s a big improvement 😎

Oh, agreed – If an artist gets snippy and doesn’t want to discuss stuff, I’d run, too.

What do you think people should talk about on a tattoo forum, though? I consider you a respectable, knowledgeable, nice guy. I think your opinion is one worth listening to.

But I think you’re being a real jerk about this whole,…[Read more]

Looks superb, congratulations 😎 looking forward to seeing some clearer pics 🙂

Don’t know if something along these lines would work? maybe if the lettering was made to look as if it was carved into stone or something under the skin?

You would need a very talented artist to pull if off well in my opinion, but then that goes for most tattoos really

^^ What they said, and welcome 🙂

Biomech and text? that’s gonna be different…
Maybe if you had it as the current wording written on something which forms part of the biomech, but you’d have to go way, way bigger with the overall tattoo and, IMO, it’d look crap, Biomech and text are poles apart.

In my opinion (not that I know anything) I’d either get it lasered and start again…[Read more]

As above, make sure you really want it before committing.

Why the hip? seems a slightly unusual placement, upper arms etc are easily covered if you don’t want your ink on permanent display

Welcome to the forum 🙂

If you’re not totally happy with the design of your tattoo, NOW is the time to do something about it!
Speak to your artist about getting it enlarged if you want it bigger, you need to be completely sure on it before making it permanent.
Good luck, look forward to seeing the completed piece 🙂

Didn’t fancy Jim’s compassionate nature and caring hand then? never happier than when he’s causing pain is Jim 😀

Mantis will be a boring upper arm position, but I think that the coral reef background will probably extend onto my shoulder and back a little but I’m not entirely sure yet.
I don’t want ink that can’t be easily covered with a short…[Read more]

Looks nicely done, congratulations 😎

I know what you mean about Dan, I absolutely love his work but have no idea for something for me that would suit his style. I’ll probably buy one of his sketches for the front room though 🙂

Your Sleeve or rib piece sounds great, and it does sound as if David will be the man to do it.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures when you get it done,…[Read more]

Believe it or not, that’s called a skin rip 😀

As above, bio-mech or bio-organic styles work extremely well with skin rips and just happen to be my favourite tattoos although they aren’t particularly popular.

There’s an example in my signature although it’s a lot more specific than just a skin rip example .
Actually, thinking about it, I…[Read more]

That can’t be real, surely….

Ah! saw this on the RFUK thread, thought it looked a bit too good to belong on there 😀

As I said there, looks fantastic so far, congratulations 😎

Butcher is fantastic, but you have seen Dan Chases work? his B&G is beautiful.
He works from ritual Art tattoo in Rainham, Kent, so not far from you

(warning, website is ‘kin annoying but worth the hassle)

Got to admit I quite like tribal too, if it’s well done.

Yours is looking good, congratulations 😎

I think I must have been in on two days when Jim was picking 😉

I shall definitely be going back 🙂

Ouchie 😀

Did you get to looks at some of Dan’s work? he’s another on my list although all the artists seem to be of a high standard. The new artist, Tracey, has been doing some lovely old school work as…[Read more]

Looks fantastic, congratulations 😎

It is a nice studio isn’t it 🙂 depending on which artists music is on on the day!

Siamese fighting fish? vivid colours and a bit more “foot shaped” than a humming bird
