the info he gave you no

the site itself yes its probably fine.

he got banned because he was basically spamming advertising links to make a commission of the sales.

he was just another internet marketer masquarading as a tattoo artist to gain your trust and try to get you to buy something. making a personal recommendation for a product he probably never even looked at.

eehh??

i dont m,ean you have to link back to us.

that has always been optional.

what i meant was i would let people know that i had added their tattoo studio to the tattoo directory so if they then want to join here they can edit their listing as they see fit or when they want to add new info on there etc.

Hi

Brown ink is possible but to be honest it does not always hold colour well as usually has to be 2 pigments mixed to form it.

Can I ask why not go for black ink?

It is possible but you can run risk of it looking orange in years to come.

Hi

Yes all light effects the eye’s colour spectrum so when looking at anything coloured it will appear different under different lighting – it is how our brain translates it.

This is because all colours are effected by the way light bends to either enhance or darken a colour.

Tattoos are especially effected as the brain has to pick out the…[Read more]

Hi

There are so many variables;

What type of pigment was used?

What colour was it? (black is the easiest to shift)

The size of the area? – Most lasers are moderately broad spectrum so may take off her entire head.

How much time do you have – It can take upto 12 mths depending on how your body reacts.

A few lines will prob be around 3-4…[Read more]

Hi

Any chance of a clearer shot – cannot make out anything properly from that.

Hi

It sounds like you are either having some reaction to the tattoo pigment or there is some infection in the tattoo. I would advise speaking with a Dr get some antibiotics and then once it has healed see about getting a rework done.

I would suggest leaving it at least 4 weeks after the surface has healed if you require a serious rework as this…[Read more]

Hi

Have you read my piece on prejudice and hand tattooing?

I can assure you that after many interviews with employers and people with hand tattoos unless you are self employed or working within the manual work industry the majority of employers simply won’t employ you.

It all goes back to the issue of customers=money.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Take care
Matthew

my pleasure.

I am still pretty gobsmacked that so many people are joining all the time.

I am glad i could make something everyone could enjoy and be proud to be part of.

Tbh.

I am at a complete loss here.

How is that you can have one individual who walks in and says yep I will have that one with no idea what it says and it is on for life?

THEN

You get an ‘artist’ who doesn’t know which way round the stencil transfer actually goes. The damn thing is in front of them how hard can it be??

To be blunt the mind…[Read more]
