Gauging is his thing. I mean you can tell he is pretty into body mod, other than just gauging, and who are we to criticize him for that? As a community we pride ourselves on being open minded and non judgemental. And I am not saying that the original poster was being any of those I am just saying.

So long as you follow the same tribal styling throughout you actually have a lot of play with this piece. you said it is small, but the elements of this particular tribal work are easy to manipulate and work with. there is no covering this piece up, as is expected with any kind of tribal work but so long as you stick to the flow and curves of the…[Read more]

Six so far…going for my seventh in a few weeks. it’ll be my right calf. so excited

go to vanishingtattoo.com that website is wonderful and provides you with a ton of information…

i peeled after my first day with my newest ink and atrted peeling within five of all my others. you are fine. they tell you that two weeks is the average healing time but some can heal in as fast as seven to ten days. it all depends on the size of the piece, the lotion you are using, and just how your body reacts to being tattooed.

If i catch myself staring, which happens a lot, I make it a point to then at least make an attempt at initiating conversation because obviously there was something in that piece that caught my eye. Tattoos are a wonderful way to meet ppl and make friends, or at least I have found that to be true.

Wow….for first ink you’ve got balls. This is really nice tribal in my opinion, the use of color in it is really cool since when most people think of tribal they think heavy black. You made a good choice. Go big or go home right? 😉

It is your body so I will never criticize something that you as a person want. Like it has been said already you will need to be careful with the size of the script becasue it will fade, it will distort, and it will need more frequent touch ups. As to the location….pain is pain. Your first tattoo is going to hurt. 99.9% chance of that. But if…[Read more]

Straight Edge is coming into its own again. It was really big in the nineties then it kind of fell out with the rise in drug use, alcohol, and the ever increasing trend of smoking. As a general principal I know that my tattoos don’t have a common theme to them yet, I have designated my entire left leg to all the random shit I want. But the big…[Read more]

My bunnies are on my left hip, you cannot even see them when I have shorts on without me making them visible. And straight edge is at its base form no smoking, drugs, or alcohol. More radical people will prescribe to no promiscuous sex and things like being vegan etc. Yes, I am straight edge. And I’m not trying to be mean with this but I feel…[Read more]
