All things being relative, that piece may not be ‘lame’, but I certainly would find a better artist to do my next tattoo if I were you.

based on the picture it looks like the artist bit more than he can chew with this project.

Aye. I think the problem is that he’s just not any better than that.

Wait.. are you dissatisfied with your tattoo, or with the fact that he didn’t upload it to his site? If his not uploading it to his site (yet) is the only problem then there is no problem.

I wouldn’t go near it with sunblock until it’s fully healed (2-4 weeks), so… I’d say no.

Weird, wonderful and quirky all the way for me.

I, too, love that first pic.

Your own sweat it positively chock full of nasty things like bacteria from your skin, dirt and air pollution, so it is far from being ‘fine’.

Said that Saran Wrap is old school and no longer a good idea. 🙁

Bollocks. You’re closing the wound to stop outside infection coming in while you run. Do you really think that it’s preferable to have it open and get all the dust from the road and other crap in there?

First of all, many people keep their tattoos wrapped for days and weeks. To do it or not is merely an opinion, and they are quite incorrect in saying that it SHOULDN’T be done.
Secondly, saran wrap will not be rubbing against anything. It’ll cling stuck to the wound, allowing for whatever clothing you wear to slide harmlessly over it instead of…[Read more]

No Wardy…. no rose could cover that.

Yup, and TurboSatan of course, who is the owner and supreme ruler.

Awww, what a sad old thing 🙂

there’s no need to put lotion on your whole life

If you want to treat your skin (and by extension your tattoos) properly and maximize their life, then yes… you should put lotion on your skin your entire life 🙂

Ah. I get what you’re saying.

Aye, quite often. And I usually just go ahead with it, too.

Guess I should stop it then, since it’s not acceptable.

Yes this is the best forum out there, a lot of people on other forums make murder acceptable.

You mean to say it’s not?

You set your album as private, which means that only yourself and moderators can see the pics. If you want others to see them, you’ll need to change it from private to public.

And yes.. that thing needs lasering… especially since it’s so raised.

I had been looking for a forum of this sort for a little while now, but it seemed on google that most tattoo sites were sparse in user content.. and all this time, there’s been what seems like a decent tattoo forum here. It’s name? ‘The Tattoo Forum’ Sheesh!

Welcome to the forum kiddo. Yes, we are somewhat active, and…[Read more]

I support any team that can make the whole thing go away faster.

We need to see it to be able to tell you whether it can be covered easily or not.

You can add a pic to your album here on the forums, then copy the BB code from beneath the picture into any thread to post it.

We have a professional laser operator from the UK in here, so he can take care of you if you need to go that route.

Something that detailed will need a huge canvas, so I’d say a large leg piece or the back. However, I am afraid that it may not translate well into a tattoo.
