Havent had much backlash, with one exception being when my grandmother died, my sconservative aunt immediately made it clear she didnt want my tattoos showing during the funeral. At the time i was able to hide it all, but i now have extensive work on my hands, so im expecting some trouble from her when my grandfather passes.

Obviously, extensive…[Read more]

I wont bother telling you my own opinion of that design or tribal in general. Id rather give you some good advice.

First, I think youare trying to cram too many things in at once. “the inner body will be made of three zodiac signs of my family members”… no matter how i picture it in my head, it just seems to never work well. THe style of tribal…[Read more]

Elbows and arm ditches are not fun. Not only does it hurt pretty bad, but its sooo uncomfortable while those areas heal. For some reason i got both those areas on both arms completely filled…

I didnt find the tops of my hands that bad, but i had the fingers on my right hand done, and i would not recommend that area for anyone not good with pain!

I would say that in most (not all) cases, someone who can fit you in with 2-3 days notice is probably not worth getting a tattoo from.

btw ezrider I like that one. 😀

I wouldnt go that far. There are plenty of talented artists who have short waiting lists simply because the demand in their area is not as high, or they…[Read more]

Ive been watching it for 8 minutes now, and its already full of corny, cheesy, overly dramatic dialogue. Instantly reminded of LA Ink. Not good.

Also what the hell is Dave Navarro even doing in this show, let alone being a judge? Hes not an artist, he has no business being a judge!

I dont personally have a tattoo down there, but from what ive read, you really need to find someone whos not only experienced in tattooing, but also in tattooing that specific area. Even then, you may have a hard time finding an artist to even attempt the tattoo, as many wont do it for various reasons.

That being said, i say go for it. Although…[Read more]

I will admit i watched it last night, because i want know exactly what the show is about instead of blowing hot air. All i can say is… wow. I dont know the exact timeline, but in show time, they went from tattooing to a banana to tattooing a real person within at most 10 minutes, and i believe it was over the course of a day. Scary shit, and…[Read more]

Yes, for a tattoo to be a sleeve, it must cover a significant portion all the way around your arm, much like the sleeve of a shirt. Alot of people these days seem to get medium-large peices on their arms and still call them sleeves even though they dont wrap around…. those people are wrong 🙂

Sleeves are a big investment in time and money, you had better be prepared to sit for many sessions and for many hours at a time. Its also not going to be cheap and could easily cost $2000 or more, depending on the artist. While im all for getting larger tattoos for your first, i wouldnt recommend a sleeve as your first.

As for the colour, the…[Read more]

You are not ready to get a tattoo. You need to sit on the idea longer until you are absolutely sure what you want.

i now firmly believe you should wait a few years before getting any more tattoos.

Its a pretty poor design, even for tribal.

Looks like it could be covered up, but there are 3 things to keep in mind:

1. Some laster sessions would allow for more options with the coverup
2. The cover up will have to be bigger than the original tattoo you have there, and a good coverup wont be cheap
3. If you are underage, i highly suggest you wait until you are old enough to go to a…[Read more]

well… you get what you pay for 😛

nice. I love Ibanez guitars and bass 🙂

ive never heard of a tattoo being specifically done to make it “3D”, but i have heard of 2 ways to make it somewhat like that:

1. An silicone implant under the skin. It involves opening a pocket under your skin and putting in a silicone implant with a certain shape inside and then sewing the pocket back up. I saw a slideshow of someone who got a…[Read more]
