Well Rockysmom, I personally think they can look subtly beautiful. Lots of people don’t see the point of any tattoo – it’s a matter of personal taste.

Thanks anjay and Dmac. Those are really helpful helpful responses…

What do you think about its uses in highlighting? My first tat includes a small, unshaded nautical star…[Read more]

Hey

Having been looking at a lot of white ink tattoos, I think they can be prettily subtle and used for really interesting tattoos.

I have been told, however, that lots of artists don’t like doing them? Is this true? If so…why?

I wouldn’t recommend getting a white ink tattoo. I have one on my wrist, and, after…[Read more]

I’ve always liked the idea of having a quote as a tattoo, and I definitely want one on my wrist… so I’m now considering having a line from my favourite poem, which does mean something to me-

I recently got my first tattoo, which is the Pink Floyd Dark Side of The Moon logo, and I already want to get more.
I was just wanting some suggestions as to what I can add on to this, because I can’t think of anything.
Thanks, Jake

Hmm. It’s been a while since I was pretty active on this site(when I registered there was no level or point system), but I would say maybe bad rep/reported posts.

Wouldn’t the user know if the post was reported? How does someone get a bad rep? Sorry I just don’t get this whole thing…

So I’ve been thinking about getting a half sleeve, from my wrist to my elbow (quarter sleeve?) on either video game characters or marine life. If I do the marine life I have a vague idea of what I’d like so that’s not really the problem.

The problem is that I’m leaning more towards the video game idea and have no idea what to…[Read more]

The artist that did my tattoo is my friend, who owns his own shop, and is the best tattooist in the city he lives in. I’m not just saying that b/c he is my friend, it’s true.

Nah I’m not panicing. I was planning on waiting until the ink was fully set in before I did anything.

Man, if there was…[Read more]

There’s no way for anyone on this site to give you an accurate price…

Your best bet is to go to shops and ask the artists themselves. Don’t worry, just because you go to the shop and consult with a certain artist doesn’t mean you…[Read more]

Haha this thread just got a little awesomer.

Hhaha, I’m glad you think so. I didn’t want to have to point it out but I don’t think homeboy wants a gigantic misspelling in his tattoo.

Red = Bad
Green = Good

I’m guessing that you already know this, because in the first picture, you re-drew it out with the correct spelling, but in the design you cut out, REASON is misspelled and says RESON?

Quick question for you guys:

What is the definition of “completely healed”? I always thought it was after the tat scabbed over and then peeled off but now that I have been here for a while-and since I got my first bigish piece- it seems that the time frame is actually a lot longer. Any thoughts on this?

The first stage of…[Read more]
