Honestly, I would pick one set of characters and fill the sleeve up with elements from the video game. Otherwise it’s just a bunch of characters all over the place.

What was her artist’s recommendations for aftercare? I have never heard of using vitamin e, just aquaphor or other similar lubrication.

Welcome to the forum! What are you planning for your next tattoo?

honestly, it’s not that noticeable. I like it, very pretty!

the stars aren’t bad. the other parts aren’t bad either, they just don’t seem to mesh well. i’d laser the parts that you drew over. it would be alot cheaper than lasering the whole thing.

it sounds like a very nice idea and means something special to you. what part aren’t you sure of, the text or the butterflies/ribbon part?

what kinds of things are you interested in? i can tell you what i like – flowers, butterflies…anything girly. any coverup you do will have to be bigger.

Even if your artist isn’t able to tattoo over the scars you can have a tattoo around it to distract the scars. It would make them look less obvious.

probably shouldn’t rub the seafood on the tattoo directly.

I don’t like A&D, Aquaphor,Vaseline, etc because these contain Petroleum jelly, petrolatum, mineral oil or soft paraffin.

These ingredients suffocate the skin by forming an oil film. Healthy skin needs to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This process should not be inhibited. Holding large amounts of moisture in the skin can “flood” the…[Read more]

If it has meaning does it make it cooler?

I emailed Lucy to see about getting some work in Oct. Had a few email exchanges back and forth but they haven’t responded in over a week. It sounded like they were willing to kick out someone else and let me in but that didn’t seem fair to the person already scheduled. Never did find out if they had an opening. I am going to find someone else.

what is it you don’t like about it?

Office jobs (from my experience) where you have to work/interact with the public are probably less accepting of tattoos. Where my BF and I work we don’t interact with public so tattoos are ok.

When I was younger and not sure where I was going with my career I stayed clear of any visible tattoos. I hate seeing young people with neck or hand…[Read more]

My boyfriend works at Intel and has a half sleeve, wears shorts and flip flops to work. No one cares. I work at a large software company and people sport tattoos everywhere. I get coffee at Starbucks everyday and see tons of office workers with tattoos. I see girls working at Nordstrom with half sleeves all the time. Tons of girls at the MAC…[Read more]

Even if you were able to laser the mole alot of laser places have a minimum fee. Most of the places I checked out charge at least $100 per session, reglardless of how small the tattoo is. May be worth either removing the mole or leave as it. I’d ask your dermatologist.

go for it! it’s cool.

I can’t see it well enough to even read it but you could get some butterflies, flowers, colorful swirls or vines to make it more interesting.

for realism i like mike devries, nikko hurtado, joshus carlton or cecil porter
