You can’t link pictures using just the image name of your computer… It needs to be either uploaded to this forum or linked from the internet.
A tattoo feeling like a mild sunburn after a few days is however completely normal. No idea how it looks though.

A tattoo doesn’t need to have an embodied meaning for it to be meaningful to you. Koi tattoos have gotten extremely popular because everyone thinks it shows how strong they are. They can be amazing when done right and by the best artists, but a lot of horrible ones going around. It’s basically one of the new tribals.

You could always commission artists to draw for you, but it will cost you quite a bit of money.
Or you could check out tons of different artists and art, find someone who does a style similar to what you’re looking for, someone who does it brilliant, and then go to them and trust that they will create the best possible…

You should check out Lowlife tattoo, Freaks tattoo parlor and purple pain tattoo in Trondheim, Norway as well. Some really great talent in this town!

Oh, added to my list; Alexis vaatete. Who I might get in with at London tattoo convention.
August/September might suddenly become one hell of a tattoo time for me 😀

Go track down Paul Booth.

Probably the most overrated tattooist in my book.

However, you are wrong. Islam does not forbid tattoos. The Bible however, does. No, tattoos are considered Haram by most muslims, but as with most of Islam; It’s a matter of judgement. Previously all modification of the body was considered haram, including hair dye, braces, pierced ears +++. Henna tattoos f.ex are accepted…

Alright that’s what I thought. As far as I’m aware though there are several underground tattoo artists in Iran, my advice would be to seek out some of them, they would probably know the safest and best way to go about it.

Thank you
I just wanted to know which brand is better ink

What is the essence of a better world?

It requires pretty deep scars before that happens. I have some that go into the bone of my leg, and they are slightly shiny and wrinkly. So no. It should heal up fine, but it may take a while.
Yes, the spots.

It IS a scar. But scars heal. Know when you scrape your knees? Only the really really deep ones leave scars…

Well… Sort of normal. That didn’t heal very well. I can already see places it’s blown out, and judging by your amount of scar tissue, there is a chance it’s been tattooed too deeply. But impossible to know until it heals properly. All the loss of color is bad too.
Like, it’s not an emergency and you just need to let it…

That’s a blow out alright. Hard to tell how good any artist is without seeing pics of their work.. years don’t matter. They could have been tatooing for 10 years and still suck :p
It’s almost impossible to fix blow outs on tiny text like that. Just let it heal, wait a couple months and see how it looks. MAYBE it will fade…

Finally got this colored in today 🙂 Super happy about it! Looove the colors! Surprisingly pleasant spot to get tattooed.

Mine itches on and off, but when it itches, it itches bad. Which is weird as hell because it’s pretty small. I’m probably going to die of itching when I get a bigger one.

Some areas hurt a lot more than others. I find that the feeling can range anywhere from something like a cell phone vibrating on you to being carved into with a white hot butter knife. Or worse.

Although yours is on a quite tender area, it was a small and simple design to do. Lots of open space, and no shading,…

No need to be friends with him, his tattoo pics are open to the public on his fb page 🙂 (or maybe just because me and him share some mutual friends)
Cover-up looks great!

Oh, okay 🙂 maybe he changed his settings so anyone can see his work.
