A couple of notes to what you posted.

Water I drink every da,y all day.
Tried calorie counting and writing down what i’m eating. Did that for quite a few months with very little success along with working out for 30mins to an hour every evening. Not a single pound lost. Frequent meals never helped either, trust…[Read more]

A big load of text on your arm just will not work, no one will be able to read it, it won’t flow properly and as you get older the lines will start to sag into one another.

For your first idea you could maybe have some kind of compass (for when you get lost), is there any imagery that you automatically associate with strength?

Write down the…[Read more]

Clowns freak me out and yours are right up there on the creepy scale. I suppose you could use clown/circus related stuff to fill it in, red curtains, some colourful balls, depends what look your after. If you want to keep it creepy then add some scared children and spiders! I think I need a lie down now! 🙂

I disagree. Perhaps something like the The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo, which has it’s own intrinsic artistic value is one thing, but crosses, rosary beads, and so forth are something else entirely. Those are symbols of faith and if you don’t believe and still get them inked, you’re just a poser. Sure, its’ your…[Read more]

I honestly couldn’t be sure, but like I said they don’t look sore and if they aren’t itching then I wouldn’t be worried. Leave it for a few days and see if they go down by themselves.

It’s hard to really tell from that picture. I think they look like goose bumps! If you get a better picture that would be great but they don’t look red or angry and if they aren’t itchy I wouldn’t be too worried at the moment.

Of course that advice is based on a really fuzzy picture and I am by no means a Dr or a tattoo expert! 🙂

Where were you thinking of? Do you want it somewhere that can be easily covered or in a more prominent position? Something that size will pretty much work anywhere, so you have a full choice. I think back tattoos that are off centre look really nice, but that’s just me. 🙂

I love Japanese tigers, you couldn’t go far wrong with that IMO.

Welcome. I’m in the UK so no help for any artists for you but hope your search is fruitful!

I’m of the opinion that if you like something, even if it’s just the look of something, and it’s your body then do whatever the hell you like. Not every tattoo has to have some deep meaningful story behind it. I wouldn’t have a problem with someone with religious art work on them as long as when I asked why they gave me the real reason be it “I’m…[Read more]

What is the second one?

Do you have a picture?

Are you male or female? If female I think it could look quite nice offset on your back.

Do you plan to keep it simple like that or let the artist turn it into something more detailed? Colour or stay black?

If you do the laser first you will have so many more options for your sleeve. If you really like having your daughter’s name you could have that put back after laser but have it done soooo much better. Imagine you wrote your daughter’s name out on a piece of paper but it didn’t look exactly how you wanted it, would you

No idea. I like the Mark Twain though.

Thanks for the helpful inco. Next time I go I will make sure to print this off! 🙂

I don’t think that will be too much of a problem to cover up. Lesson learnt though, never get someone else’s name on you. My fiance has his ex wife’s name on him and I hate having to look at it! So much so his birthday present this year will be a rockin cover up of that!

Welcome to the forum. Please post up the pics of your tattoos so we can all see them! 🙂

If you have a good artist lined up then you can get what you want.You don’t need to take a photo of an already completed tattoo and copy it. Take some stuff for reference and come up with your unique piece together.

Welcome.:)
