First, ditch that Tattoo Goo shit.
Second, I’m not sure I’m understanding your problem too well but as long as the clothing isn’t too tight causing alot of rubbing, friction, etc. there shouldn’t be a problem. Wear a cotton t shirt if you can, you want the tattoo to be able to breathe but it needs to be clean and protected, too. It’s normal to…[Read more]

Congrats, from the picture your tattoo looks very nice. I assume that would be a very sensitive area for a ladies tattoo.

Look kids, a killer tattoo without any text.

…This says it all right here.

I’ve been riding motorcycles for about 35 years and as of about 3 years ago I became a Harley Davidson owner. I will never ride anything else. My days on those uncomfortable speed bikes are long over, I’m now more into the laid back cruising aspect of riding and Im enjoying riding again more than I have in a long time.

Don’t feel obligated to have the work finished at that shop, either. If you think an artist at a different shop can better finish the project then definitely go that way. I think that’s what people here are suggesting and I’m not sure if the OP is thinking that route or not.

have like 8 pints before you go in? if you know the tattoo artist shouldnt be a problem? Im not saying get drunk that’s why i said only 8 it’s just because you always feel a bit more untouchable after a good few pints

I really hope that was a joke.

Yeah just google harley pinup girls or something and you’ll get good examples. I was going to do something similar but decided to get a print from Gil Elvgren, I loved the image although she’s not on a HD. This is mine:

Lately I’m definitely lurking more than posting.

The tattoo is pretty cool although I never did get into StarWars.

Actually, I don’t think I even post at the other place as much either anymore.

Tough one, so many great artists. Perhaps Oleg Turyanskiy and something wildlife-related.

I had an appt. with Oleg set for last month at Off the Map but he cancelled due to visa problems and getting to the U.S. I was going to get a great horned owl which he was excited about doing, I love his wildlife and everything else…[Read more]

this place is too sensitive, so i dont post too much anymore. the other forum is smaller and more hardcore enthusiasts so i tend to hang out there more often.

I feel the same way, definitely don’t post as much as I used to.

I’m going to mostly agree with Aussie Tom on this one. I would not be embarassed to be covered in nothing but Sailor Jerry flash from Smith St or the like. I wouldn’t go as far as saying if you don’t appreciate it you don’t deserve tattoos but to dismiss flash and it’s importance in the history of tattooing is ignorant. And we can’t talk about…[Read more]

For a memorial just get something what will remind you of him. No matter when you look at it the first thing you will think of is granddad.

Yeah, this. How much of a personal memorial can it be if you’re scouring the internet looking for the exact image which might be shared by many other people? You should get something…[Read more]

Panter, mrchen, & Wardy,

Thanks for the feedback – much appreciated. Anyway, I’m supposed to work that day anyway and although I probably could have worked it out, I decided to skip out on it. I did like the image and 3 weeks ago when I first suggested it, I wanted to get it done. Since then though, I had a consult with…[Read more]

I don’t know if this is right but it would last and look better for longer if it was in black & grey wouldn’t it? So if im splashing out a couple of grand on my back i think it will be in black & grey. Unless im wrong about it lasting longer im not sure 🙂

I think you’re wrong about this, especially since it’s on your back…[Read more]

Adler For a few dollars more is awesome. But im going to peer pressure you now to watch “the good the bad and the ugly” if you haven’t seen it before, im sure you have.

I just got through watching “For a Few Dollars More” on Blu-Ray, freaking great! I don’t know about a whole backpiece for that but I guess so. Maybe it would be better if you combined a few scenes from various Clint movies into the backpiece rather than just from the one movie (as great as it was) so you can incorporate more of his amazing career…[Read more]
