Metalman is a true success story. Yeah he got bashed a little bit in the beginning but he also listened, stuck around and now he gets it.

Thanks. I have come a long way. I’m glad I was “bashed” here and on the other forum. It taught me a lot about the industry forcing me to research and do my homework, and I saw far…[Read more]

He’ll be the huge guy that looks like He-Man in his signature. Probably without the little girl though. Probably.

@Sam A Dobson Fly doesn’t look like something I want on me, alive or not… 😛 Thanks for the idea though!

@yodaddynukka well, those guys are in other cities… Just getting to them will cost me half the price of the tattoo and more than that i’m in no mood to travel just to get a tattoo. You never know when I’ll end up being in Athens or…[Read more]

Jeff is awesome! And dry healing is better but scabbing is NOT better. I use the dry wrap method and I rarely scab.

Just want to add: Your ultimate goal is to peel fast. Faster peel equals faster heal. Scabbing prolongs that process and you have a MUCH higher chance of losing ink after scabbing.

I stand corrected. There are some AMAZING bio mech artists, and you are right a Guy Aithchison tattoo will never be dated. And could never be referred to as a fad. It could be, and is, called…[Read more]

See, I love biomech tattoos. However, I’m an almost 30 year old woman working in a conservative industry. That part bothers me less than the fact my 70 year old father would probably be…[Read more]

Yeah screw the corrupt soap industry! Lol

never said it was corrupt, i simply said it is not needed for a tattoo to heal nicely.

Go big or go home.

Apparently you misheard this quote as a child. You must have thought it was “GROW big or go home”!

The artist must have been very pleased to see that big canvas that your back is. He is doing damn fine stuff to it.

red probably works best out of all the colors (besides b/g of course) but it all depends on how dark you are.

Similar with black & grey, I’ve seen dark tones of red and bronze tattoos. Perhaps that would be worth investigating?
