Good advice from the last post. remember that a tattoo (like a flower) can be a great way of going over baby marks and your first pregnancy should indicate how much your body will stretch so you know what the risk for a tattoo will be.

That isn’t entirely true either because I know plenty of women who gained only 20 pounds…[Read more]

Well awesome! Glad you found someone who knew the culture and stuff!

Now on another note … um, PICTURES??? :p ;);) lmao

Do you possibly have a picture of the gypsy?

As far as the flowers, I don’t think those would have been my first choice for a mexican inspired tattoo just because orchids are not mexican flowers lol However, keep in mind that it is your tattoo and you can add anything you want to it.

If you can post a picture of the gypsy I can tell you if it…[Read more]

Yep, he did mention that the hand tats are his first. He’s planning to get both his face & hands done. :rolleyes:

However, I’m wondering why his tat artist didn’t give him ANY type of care instructions!!! Sounds like a scratcher job to me. :confused: :rolleyes:

Welcome!

Do you have pictures of your current tats?

Okay, well went in today to set up the appt with my artist today.

We spent about about half an hour discussing the colors and different ideas for the roses.

We are going to do the center rose(largest one) in shades of blue, fading from really dark blue to a very light blue almost a light a green.

The two outside roses we are going to do in…[Read more]

Well if it means something to you, then get it done!

Who cares if anyone else would get it done on them. If you want it done, get it done!

Everybody is different and what they feel is meaningful to them probably isn’t going to be meaningful to any other person. That is the joy of being able to get tattoos is that it is symbolic to the…[Read more]

Mmm….cake!

No doubt some people would attribute the rainbow roses to you being gay. Just something to consider.

Yea, I did think about that!

After a lot of thought with a couple friends, and a few other people, I think I am going to go with a bright purplish one and bluish-turquoise one. 😀

I am going to talk to my tat artist…[Read more]

Can’t wait to see it!!!! I’m going to be setting up my appointment to get my tattoo finished and am super stoked about it!

I can relate to you though with your artist taking your idea and turning into something you love. Cause my artist did the same thing for mine. I took him my basic, original thought and he created something I never could have…[Read more]

Here is another thing I’ve been considering when looking at rose colors…The meanings! 🙂

Pink – Grace & Elegance, Admiration for beauty and refinement, Sweetness, etc.

Lavender & Purple – Love/Enchantment at first sight, Regal majesty and splendor, Wonder & Impossibility, Enchantment & Magnetism, Opulence & Majesty, etc.

Blue – Mystery &…[Read more]

Yes, I do have a tribal, but it is not an abstract tribal form like most tribals you see. Mine is 2 wolves. So not technically like every other tribal. Atleast not in my opinion because my daddy has 2 tribals and his are abstract, free-form style that most people get. Whereas, mine you look at it and can tell it is a wolf. I dunno, I guess I just…[Read more]

It is healing up quite nicely actually. And, yes, it will need to be touched up about 3 weeks from the day it was finished as it is a solid black piece and solid black is generally harder to perfect on the first sitting because the artist has to go back and forth over the same spot a few times to get it filled in. However, he/she can’t do it too…[Read more]

I am new to tattooing, and this would be my first tattoo – I am thinking of getting a tattoo that runs vertically from my hip up to the side of my boob – would this stretch during a pregnancy?
And how painful would this be while they are tattooing along my ribs?

Yes, it would stretch during your pregnancy. Anything on…[Read more]

If it has been that long since you got the tattoo done, I don’t think it would. I think it was a reaction to the specific ink that the artist used.

I think your best bet would be to speak to the artist who you plan to have do the work on it, and tell him about that experience and see what he has to say. He will know more about how to handle it if…[Read more]

I am having a hard time “seeing” the whole piece without the color. 🙂

I can’t wait to see how it looks once you get it colored in!

I don’t see it as a tramp stamp, but okay. Honestly, it covers too much of my back to be a tramp stamp, but I guess to each his own or whatever.

The artist is Lazlow @ Altered Images Tattoo in Oklahoma City.
