you can get clear retainers to put in the piercing when not wearing the more obvious jewelry

alright ill try to draw up a couple of different things

ive got a couple of questions for you. first I was playing around with the layout and I think that it would flow well if the guns were flipped to face up and were used as the base /shoulder of the wing. what do you think about that idea? second, do you just want the .45 ACP that the gun uses? because instead of stretching the bullet for the…[Read more]

Im going to agree with them about using a larger space. the size that I’m drawing it at to get it detailed at all is too big to make it wrap around my arm and I’m a pretty big guy. Even if it could fit on your arm with any detail, my opinion is that its a tattoo that wouldn’t look great if you couldn’t see the whole piece at once.

ill try to draw it up for you, its not the type of thing that I usually draw so I cant make any promises but Ill give it a shot

I agree you should go to a doctor to get it checked out. I’ve had a staph infection before, it’s no problem if you get it taken care of early but it really sucks if you let it wait.

I think adding a lot of color would look really cool, but adding a little bit of color would make it look unfinished

In florida (especially in the places where tourists spend a lot of time such as I-drive in orlando) there are many shops that I would not trust based on lack of cleanliness so make sure you check out the shop before you get the tattoo

the difference between the two bottom pictures is amazing, thanks for posting them

I would suggest switching to a non allergenic, unscented skin lotion (the last time I got a tattoo my artist suggested equate advanced recovery skin care lotion)

1) 3 tattoos
2) first is script on my foot that says “make decisions and never look back” second is an anchor on my bicep (the bottom is just above my inner elbow) and the third is a very simple cross on the palm side of one of my fingers
3) the script on my foot is to remind me not to dwell on past decisions and to learn from my mistakes and…[Read more]

for large pieces most charge by the hour and the amount of time it takes depends on detail, color, shading, etc… I’ve been researching prices recently for a half sleeve that I’m planning and the artists I have talked to have been quoting an average of between $500 and $1000 sometimes going up to $2000, before seeing ideas for the design. so its…[Read more]

there was a thread a couple of months ago about this

I like the idea of the phoenix on the ribcage instead of on the back. Since the quotes are so personal, I would suggest making the decision on your own instead of asking people you don’t know. just my opinion

That is some amazing art

Just warning you that doctors usually recommend that you wait at least a year after surgery to get any new tattoos because your body is already trying to heal and prevent infection. For example I had to wait a year after my shoulder surgery to get another tattoo. Since you said that you want to wait until after your surgery to get another tattoo…[Read more]

as long as you don’t think that you will regret it, I really like the idea of memorial tattoos, I just got a new tattoo friday in memory of time spent with my grandfather when I was little.

the arm really isn’t that painful, If you are worried about regretting the tattoo then you might not be ready to get one, before my first tattoo someone with alot of tattoos told me to wait for at least a year and if I still wanted to get the tattoo then to go ahead and get it

favorite and most painful is the top of my foot, it says “make decisions and never look back”
