Welcome to the forum Marea, glad to have you! Hope to see your posts around here and there.

What do you have to hide the tattoo from?

Do you need to have it covered for work or family or anything like that?

If not where do you want to put it?

If it was me and I was into something big time I would put it on my neck. Then again I’m a tattoo artist and a musician so it’s kind of part of the trade. As soon as I get some time I’m getting…[Read more]

It’s only happening with the red ink though?

Dehydration would cause the whole thing to raise not just a part.

Things do work in mysterious ways, I’ll give it that.

Good idea. Good Luck with it!

First Welcome to the forum.

Absolutely it’s for both sexes, I’ve given plenty of tattoos in the wrist area to both women and men. Every sleeve I’ve seen has had that area filled?…?

I’ve got a blue dove in my left inner wrist, granted it is part of my sleeve just not done, but still I have it. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable in your own…[Read more]

Yeah, then you can see the ones in your ears? Just kidding…

The masks sound great, yeah depending upon the situation your in you should be able to hide them if needed.

It sounds pretty original to me! Good Luck!

scrubmuncher is correct, quick turnover from the artist point of view, from the clients point of view maybe their obsessed, or finatical about the person sporting the original tattoo. Or maybe they cannot think for themselves?….

The artist has alot to do with the placement and the tattoo itself, so if they are pushing it then most likely the…[Read more]

Well usually a person has a reaction within the first couple weeks, but red is the color most people have an illurgic reaction too, due to the murcury in the pigment used. Most likely your having a delaid reaction somehow. Good Luck!

The best advice is to do an online search for what your looking for.

Good Luck!

When an artist goes too deep it will blow out under the skin, when it scabs it means it was over worked. It’s an artists bad, and sometimes it does happen to the best artists, his or her needles could have a burr, or the client is bleeding bad and it’s hard to see where color stuck. It will heal fine as long as you keep infection away, and don’t…[Read more]

Oh my God, shame on you. LMFAO.

Hopefully it’s not MRSA (a staph infection imune to antibiotics), it’s going around big time in the south! Sometimes when a tattoo gets a contaminant in it will force the skin to dislodge itself from the point of contamination so it can rid itself of the problem. Do not remove the pealed skin. If at all it looks like blisters instead of peeling go…[Read more]

Welcome Ryan!

Welcome to the forum Wolfie Girl, we are all glad to have you!

Welcome to the forum Shana! Ear tattoos are not for everyone but some like them and that’s ok. Pros are you can where your individuality out in the open, Cons are all the pricks out there who are judgmental, I for one don’t give a crap what others think, I would hope everyone else feels the same way!

Uh Oh, That is one big asshole if you ask me! lol

Guess the flies have a home in that picture?!?

8 from me

Thoughtful, very unique.

If a tattoo is raised out of your skin it was done improperly. That includes scabbing. It will not harm you,(as long as it isn’t infected), it just means The ink is in the wrong layers of skin. Use a triple antibiotic cream to help fight infection and do not let it out in the open in the hot African sun. Taking care of it properly will ensure that…[Read more]

With a tattoo on your foot it is best to get it when you can where flip-flops or sandels or something, your boots will not be good, as it cannot breath and a persons feet are sweaty and full of bacteria. It really is not a good idea, but if you have to get it, then take as much time to clean it and let it breath as possable. Good Luck!

Welcome to the forum, and yes there are a few tattoo artist in this forum. Hope you enjoy it here!
