All joking aside,

Your options for removal are limited to;

Abrasion removal (sander or filing it off) – leaves a scar very messy and painful.

Acid removal – leaves a scar very messy and painful.

Surgical removal – They cut the tattoo out and skin graph another piece over. Leaves scars, painful and expensive.

I have seen the results in person…[Read more]

Really like the style of that.

Post up some more when you get it finished.

Hi.

A direct answer to your question is yes your tattoo has a high chance of distortion if you get tattooed before you finish growing.

Example;

My step father had a simple heart outline done on his chest when he was 12 years old. It was his first piece of ink and although DIY had the same process as a modern tattoo.

He told me that by the age…[Read more]

Hi

Love the backpiece it really is a sweet piece.

Did the dermals in the chest hurt a lot and how long before migration?

I have had a few piercings when I much younger but never lasted too long just kept on getting them pulled out.

Hi I like the piece a lot and personally I would extend the shadowing so that it wraps further around him and ends at his shoulder.

This would create a shroud effect that was often associated with Jesters during the medieval times that they both bringers of joy and amusement but also death messengers.

It is a well executed piece and would love…[Read more]

Hi

Why not take the words and get the text to form the outline of the symbol you want such as a cross, fish, or dove?

If executed properly they can look very nice.

As for the no tattoos many people will always qoute

However the word tattoo is a mod…[Read more]

Hi

To clarify my post the 2 months wait is only if you wanted to add fresh ink to what was there in terms of a rework or cover-up.

If you try to tattoo straight over fresh ink it won’t take and your next tattoo can go horribly wrong.

If you are trying to lighten it then as Arni said but still needs to heal before you do anything else ink…[Read more]

Hi

There are 3 main options that you can go for;

1. Laser it off until it is gone or faded enough to get a full cover done over it.

2. Get it covered by expanding the size and a different font and maybe add some extra details.

3. Keep the orig design and work some filler background through and around it to make it look better.

A cover up…[Read more]

I would just like to say on behalf of our Regent Queen and citizens of God’s Own Paradise On Earth – England to any uneducated peasant, that we commend the USA on their victory.

Due to the fact that we really wanted to handed control back but were forced to make a token effort of resistance, we The People hope you remember the lives lost by our…[Read more]

Awesome piece of ink but there is a really disturbing look of pleasure on your face in that pic?

That would make a great caption contest!

I will start with

Hey Wardy

You and my missus share a birthday – I would have sent you a present but I am skint after the wife cleaned me out with her present.

Your mum tried to dorwn you as well? Shit my parents tried something similar.

All I can say is I love being an orphan now 😀

Have a few beers and enjoy.

Hi Wardy

Personally I think a spiderman and web will go nicely with your comic collection.
What I would say is get a bit of colour in on it for the web and make it pop.

Every person I know with just cobweb tattoos has done time and some have the spider (up or down depending on whether they want to continue a a criminal).

That said these were…[Read more]

I voted.

Anybody with enough balls (virtual or otherwise) to get a lip tattoo deserves a click of the mouse.

My only questions are;

1. How long did it take?

2. How much did that hurt during and after?

I once had a Dr shove a camera up my arse and didn’t enjoy it one bit – especially when it was a saturday night and had nothing to do with my medical complaint. 😀

Actually it was a bowel cancer check and damn scariest 5 mins of my life.

That said I have tried waxing (def one to miss) but a hot stone massage was relaxing afterwards.

Take…[Read more]

Hi

The ink looks good and what you are talking about can be fixed with a skilled artist who can add some more line definition to separate the colour and some fresh highlights. It really is not as bad as you have built up in your mind.

There are always going to be things we can spot about our ink and say that could be better as we are our own…[Read more]

To be honest I am really dull.

I spend most of my free time I use on the PC to research whatever project I have been bullied into assisting or my own studies.

About 5 mins on emails (at home).

Try and squeeze time in here and there on here.

My free time tends to be chopped up with the wife PS3 or the hated ‘socialising’.
