Damn going to cost a lot then seeing as my artist is £80 an hour. Don’t want to spend more than £500-£600.. I guess I could get some of it done then get it finished my next pay day as her work is definitely worth it.

Umh.. or just wait a few paydays, save up, and then go and get it done?

Oh.. that’s sad. Would have liked to see it.

That’s very good, and you should definitely keep working at it. But butchering people’s skin and picking up very poor work habits is the last thing a future mentor wants on his apprentice’s record, not to mention the whole disease and infections issue you got going on there with that kitchen job.

You truly want to become an apprentice? Truly?…[Read more]

Yes, I looked at the rest of it. As I said, you need to practice and practice hard. Learn how to walk before you start Olympic Running competitions.

So you’re tattooing already? Dude.. you are FAR from being ready for that. Trash that gun of yours and work on your drawing skills. You need the practice.

If you’re in the UK, he’d doubtless be willing to fix that for you 🙂

What IS this horrid thing?

There’s no picture there.

Well, although it’s difficult to see from the picture, I believe it’s quite small, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to cover it up. I would think that you’d need something at least 3-4 times bigger in order for a cover-up job to not look like crap.

Likewise, I don’t believe it can really be fixed. It would only get worse.

Have you thought about…[Read more]

For me, the first place to start is to just decide what KIND of tattoos you like and don’t like. Once you’ve narrowed that down, your own internal search mechanism becomes more focused and you find it easier to find things that you like. Once you’ve gotten a good grasp of what you like, you can start researching artists that specialize in that,…[Read more]

Although Chen’s reply was unnecessarily rude, he is right that we don’t exactly welcome scratchers in here.

That being said, I’d be very interested to see the quality of your work. You see, you make two points that I believe to be completely erroneous.

Firstly, you say that “if you really dig deep you will find that the average tattoo artist got…[Read more]

It doesn’t look like an imperfection to me although it is. Looks like he is spouting something, maybe water lol

Oh, how young you are. It’s an 8-bit tattoo. 8-bit water would never look anything like that 😀

Cornishtiger, our resident laser expert, can probably give you a rough guesstimate for a price, but I’d think it shouldn’t be too expensive. Seeing as it’s so tiny,(surely they must charge (relatively thinking) per inch or square inch or something like that) it can’t take more than a couple of seconds each session and thus can’t be too expensive…[Read more]

I would leave the line, it definitely has a story behind it lol

Which would be better… a story and a perfect tattoo or a story and a botched tattoo? The story will be there regardless :p

8-bit tattoos can be awesome. Please post some pics 🙂

Lovely story, and definitely something that helps you remember that tattoo 🙂

Have you considered just getting the mistake lasered (it can’t be very dark or wide since it was just one scratch) and then continue on with the tattoo sans mistake?

Your tattoo isn’t going anywhere. It’s painfully permanent. You basically have two options here:

A) Get it lasered (and contrary to what you think about lasers, if you don’t go to some useless hack then they work very well on black) even if it takes some time (Months, even). This will result in you being able to get a FAR lighter image to cover…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum.

I sure hope your other 6 tattoos are better done than this one. It’s dreadful 🙁

New one. Sort of. I just got some new markers and decided to try them out.

I’m not sure, but I THINK I’m missing the right forearm and shoulder from that pic :rolleyes:

Very interesting, as per usual. 🙂
