Welcome to the forum.

Too much ointment will mess up a tattoo quicker than not enough. After applying lotion or ointment you should not be able to see it. If it looks wet or shiny, you put…[Read more]

That’s a nice piece.

Try “The Brag Art List”. It is quality tattoo artists all over the world.

Check it out on the internet.

It looks okay to me.
Too much moisturizer is just as bad, if not worse, than no moisturizer at all.

Welcome!

Regardless if you go color (Which I much prefer) or Black and Gray, PLEASE find a qualified tattoo artist!

The color tattoo you pictured is a horribly done tattoo. The black one is not much better.

Check portfolios. Keep us posted. Good luck.

Tattoos take months to heal. Give it til June and see what it looks like.

Good luck, keep us posted.

Yes. I’ve been doodling and drawing since I very young. It got me into a bunch of trouble in grade school.

I went to school for horticulture. Thus my interest in flowers, and I did a lot of landscape designs freehand before computers took over.

I’m planing to start it in mid to late summer. Guerrilla Tattoo’s in Shippensburg, PA will be doing it.
I plan on one session a month til its done. It will be my whole leg.

Welcome to the forum.

Funny your handle is “Poison Ivy”. My left leg is going to be a tree trunk with bright green poison ivy growing up the tree.

The droplets on the side are honey and papaya juice from the existing honey bee tattoo.
Lichen and moss will be between my toes, and around the roots. Perhaps a little water like I’m walking along a stream.

Welcome to the forum!

Have you checked out the Gallery?

Welcome.

Stay away from products that contain petroleum. A&D sucks!

(They’re tattoos by the way)

He might do OK if you were to give him the exact drawing you want but he also looks lazy to me just look at these what I guess are suppose to be birds ( and remember only your best goes in to your portfolio)

Those “birds” look like shit! The tree’s not much better.

Welcome to the forum.

He does some nice work. I’m a sucker for flowers and fauna. He nails that. Nice work with colors. I would go to him for a tattoo.

What are you thinking of getting?

I currently have Anthuriums, a Passion flower, day lilies, and mushrooms. I plan on getting some Chrysanthemums, Sun Flowers (with Gold Finches), and perhaps some Trumpet Vines. This is amungst the leaves, lizards, and other animals.

(I was a florist some years ago)

I’ve always seen roses as female tattoos.

Roses under the right conditions can even look sinister. Flowers and natural items affect all of us. While I would not suggest you get a flowering cherry tree tattoo up your side, cherry tree blossoms mingled with other things, and in the right locations, could be rather sensual.

Welcome to the forum!

I like it. It’s not a style that I would choose personally, but it is well done.

Congratulations. (What’s your next one?)

Same shop perhaps, but I suggest a different tattooer.

It sounds like you have everything under control. What’s your next tattoo?

Keep us poster.

Welcome to the forum.

The date weirds me out a little. I have seen tattoos as such but done like this: NIKITA Born 3-23-16, or Established 3-23-16.

I would do some heavy thinking about it. (Personally, I don’t care for names, or text on a tattoo)

Keep us posted, Good luck!

Welcome!

I saw the tattoo picture first, and thought it was a leaf with a fucked up stem. I never would have guessed it was a tree.

If it were mine, i would add a few more “leaves” and try to do something with that trunk. (Most tree trunks I know get thinner at the top)

Good luck, keep us posted. (Don’t let the same tattooer touch you again)
