I think my dad is genuinely worried about the pain aspect, maybe 50-70years are the painful fragile years. I’m sort of serious though, we go through threshold changes over the years don’t we??????

An ideal tattoo shouldn’t be that painfull, definately not painfull enough to warrant numbing ointments. Unfortunately the absolute perfect tattoo artist does not exist.The middle of the day is when I’m at my best (wide awake) and people get through easy. Tattooing is fucking exhausting work although people don’t really think it is and never take…[Read more]

I like the design, once the emotion has been added around the eyes it will look great.
NIce when finished

:rolleyes:Tell him he’s a big girl, lol. Looks like a tough guy n all, 😉
Wish my family would allow me loose on them.

The last piece would be a nice ass piece. Don’t like the others.

Depends on the artist more than the area of the country these days. I’d charge around £200 (give or take)and book you in for about 3 hours (give or take) Really difficult to say online.

Love it, quite original and a little odd, nice to see some people making new tracks.

When working a full sleeve in one plan it is much easier to take the individuals master plans (main sections)and place them where appropriate and where they work, linking them up with background is easy. Not all pieces will work where you want them to so a bit of jb is always needed. By all means take the whole idea down as one work but it will…[Read more]

I have tattooed over scar tissue but not sure about a skin graft. I’d leave it for a few years before messing about with it. If you are looking at disuising anything then using loads of colour and detail works best. Black shows scarring up worse than any other colour. Complicated and colourful is the way forward to camo unwanted faults.

The rib side under the armpit is where I was talking about, it is a real nightmare area to tattoo with script and you will not get a good lifespan from it. Just pen some lettering on yourself, get a pal to put something on all same size, and have a look. You’ll get my drift.

If you are going for lettering down the side be aware that this area is probably the most stretched and dificult area of the body to keep inline, to scale with itself etc. Also when being tattooed, stay in the same position the entirity of the session or the lettering will not be the same, your work could end up considerably different from word to…[Read more]

Plenty of good laser removal practices all over the UK and europe now. If you are planning on travelling to another country just for the removal then I expect you have a serious amount of cash to spend, apart from the treatment itself which will be multiple visits over months or even years the travel/accom/loss of earnings etc etc could run into…[Read more]

Maybe a little infection, I wouldn’t worry you’ll live. Get uptight if it still isn’t right in another week.

Yeh, I know what you mean, I think I’m just being a grumpy old fuck today. All this visiting family over the xmas, spending time with relatives I don’t know smiling all day over a cuppa tea and really not wanting to be in the conversation about who has died this year and how much money the church has donated to helping some chump who prefers to…[Read more]

I’m not sure of your point, the majority of what your nan said could be true. Tattoos on hands and neck limits employment options for sure, will limit relationship options in some cases (tattoos are ugly to many people). After all, it is a nans job to keep you innocent and childlike, I think if they keep the kids young it helps keep them young.
I…[Read more]

I don’t think it works at all,

The guy is over rated, his work is nothing special, not saying he isn’t good, he is, but nothing he does jumps out at me and screams talent. Never seen the TV show socan’t comment. Beckham has quite a collection now, surely he has the choice of some far better talent in the u.s.

Would bring an old cowboy movie to my mind, nothing nazi about it. Jut go and get it then they have no option but to go with it. Your not a child and if youare old enough to get a tattoo, surely you are old enough to get what you want.

Genital tattooing will never be quality so I wouldn’t worry about it. As for finding an artist, good luck, I wouldn’t fancy tattooing another guys bit and don’t know anyone who would these days, a few year ago maybe.

have you thought about a move to one of the islands, I’ve just moved to the Dominican Republic and opened shop, although by far the majority of my work is piercing and it’s early days, it is pretty cheap and uncomplicated to get set up.
