Planning ahead I like that! plus if you still want it in december you wont regret getting it done! erm for my font I checked out walden fornt they have lots of different and very fancy fons you can try and details bout where they came from etc, to add more meaning to fonr choice.

I got mine done at voodoo studio in warrington, even though its an hour and a half + train journey from where I live, they are immense and I got lee who works there to do a great fine line piece in colour on my ribs, you should definately check them out for a rework or a new tatt if your not happy, and i was a first timer and they were very nice…[Read more]

Thanks for your enthusiasm, I’m attempting to add a pic now,lol.

Got my tattoo today, the numbing cream turns out it wasnt very powerful and actually didnt take in most places so I might have well done without it lol, hence it hurt like a B***h, though I held my dememour much better than another man who had a rib tattoo done and needed to bite a lollipop stick and made some noise apparently, I wouldn’t know as…[Read more]

She’s one of the people I believe can truly be called an artist as a woman who can sing, is classicaly trained in violin and harpsichord, writes her own songs and compositions and designs and makes her own clothes and jewellery which she sells on tour ( I’ve got a teacup and saucer that she decorated.)

I think my mum would be alright with it, but…[Read more]

Why Yes it is glad I found other EA fans on here, I love the Opheliac song and alot of her other stuff, not to mention the unique sense of style.

I did combine the two coz I liked the way they fitted,lol, will be sure to tell my artist about that spelling error.
I do like your last version but Not my favourite, the two lies are more accurate but…[Read more]

no worries as with most people your English is really good! probably much better than my German lol.
It’s nice to see we get a whole mix on here!

The font I’m using is from walden font and is ‘based’ on shakespeare’s handwriting

and The placement is my right ribs, I know they’re supposed to kill but I figure if I go there first every tattoo after that will be a breeze, and it shouldn’t affect any future job opportunities ( unless i suddenly decided to go for bikini modelling). Will…[Read more]

The bullet angel insn’t something id wear personally but I like the concept and I like the patterning and colours of the other design also. Good Work, unfortunately Im not in a position to buy anything as I’m saving up for my first tattoo.

do you think the first one said power ranger instead of power puff girl, coz although it’s a very unique piece the large eye styling it typical of those types of cartoon work…which I think you purposely incorporated in your design. But power rangers??? did this person watch nick whilst on LSD or something….

I guess you have to put up with a…[Read more]

Don’t worry darling, Despite the written tone there are some facts in there, even if ‘tough love’ would be a bit of an understatement, and I definately report the artist who tattoo’d you so other tweens don’t/can’t make the same mistake.

Basically red sounds like a B@&*h of a colour to cover up…would you consider tattoo removal? Then 12 months…[Read more]

Norway? cool, well the ocean has loads of things you could design, did he have his own boat? coz you could get a protrait or the boat’s name tatoo’d. what did he fish for?
was there anything else in his life he liked, or something he said which really stuck with you?? the possibilities are endless, just dig deep. If you think you auntie and…[Read more]

not wishing to go down this old road but an ‘English’ baby! ouch!

and apprenticing is the best way to learn anything, most tattoo artists nowadays won’t teach others because they don’t want to introduce more competition.

You probably won’t find a single symbol for one word in kanji, as kanji is in most senses, a made up language, Now don’t take my word for it, but all the articles I’ve read on Kanji state that most symbols are either completely falsified and mean nothing, or don’t really mean what they say they do, hence a girl walking in asking for the rooster…[Read more]

I’m having a MF huge rib piece done ( as a first tattoo) and my artist suggested buying a decent tube of numbing cream which they will apply correctly an hour before I have my tattoo, it probs wont stop the pain altogether but it might take the edge off,soz if this replies a bit late lol, but might help someone else….
and I wouldnt bother except…[Read more]

Not 100% on this but I remember reading how in New Zealand and surrounding areas it was usual for all tribe members to have their body parts tattoo’d to signify the tribe they belong to and their status, The article was easy to remember as it contained the image of a large body builder on the beach with a tribal tattoo on his face, unaware that…[Read more]

I’m afraid I myself can’t help you but, do you have facebook? there’s a tattoo discussion group on there and a remember quite a few english ppl having their arabic tattoos corrected by ppl who were fluent in arabic, maybe if you join the group and post your translation you’d get more help there, It was too late for others who jus went ahead and…[Read more]

Im guessing you live somewhere warmer and more wave frequented than england ,but a good portrait artist should work wonders there’s a studio in england called indigo that does some amzing work, so much so that its booked up for 5 months! lol, do some research check out some galleries, preferably for photos where they show u the original phot next…[Read more]

I would also b tempted to leave it alone its very original and pretty, or if you wanted maybe some colour to either the inside of the design or to add to the shading, go with chinese colours maybe or a white to realy highlight the shading.?

I get where you are coming from as well ,I cringe when I hear 15 year olds say, I’d love a star tattoo, they’re so pretty, and it’s like tattoo’s aren’t accessories its a life time decision, even in ancient times tattoos were a simple of belonging and status as well as aesthetics, and i guess if your the type of person who generally doesnt regret…[Read more]
