Hi Callie

First of all why get upset over a brand name? Who cares what they use a name for – it does not reflect on your husband in any way.

They prob chose it because it is either a family name that founded the business or because it sounds nice as a name.

Besides condoms save lives!

As for your tattoo it is def going to be a min of 2 hrs…[Read more]

Hi

I followed the thread with interest. To be honest your decision is sensible one in regards that with every action is a consequence.

For myself many of my family members and former ‘friends’ within the Jewish community have ceased to associate with me because of my tattoos.

The subject is simply too taboo for them to get their head around and…[Read more]

It is an interesting idea but would have to work out the rules of entry.

As well as whether it is category driven etc and who would judge would it be by vote or a panel etc?

That is some of the most beautiful ink I have ever seen.

I really love it.

Personally I do not hate tribal (in any form) it can be an effective artform like any other.

The slight prejudice with certain types of tattoo styles is that if there is a saturation of it ppl become a little jaded in suggesting a positive image of it.

Many tattoo enthusiasts are looking for a custom piece or a unique twist on flash. As stated…[Read more]

Hi

If you want tribal because you really like it then;

What style of tribal do you want? Polynesian, Celtic, Nordic, Black line (dusk till dawn style)?

Do you want it shaped into an animal, fantasy, lines, knotwork, religious?

What is it you like about tribal?

How big do you want to go and would you want more on your back?

Is there any other…[Read more]

Hi

Also avoid sunscreen on the tattoo area this can and will mess with your ink. Also have some bottled water and if you are sweating profusely for extended try and gently pat down the tattoo with clean water every 3-4 hrs of extensive exercise.

No rubbing it just wipes away the salt build up and will relieve the sting.

The issue is simple put a lot of thought into what you want and which artist to execute it. That is because you want excellent art on your skin. There is no point in having the most complex meaning of a tattoo if it comes out looking like a black blob.

The deeper symbolisms are personal and a good artist can reflect these tastefully within the…[Read more]

I have given it a lot of thought and yes I am in agreement I should not allow my personal feelings dictate to others even if I feel correct in doing so.

To that end I have requested that I be taken off the moderation team.

Hi

Ideally you would be looking at least 6 inches long by 4 inches wide so not to crowd the area. You could have it smaller but the details may become cramped.

Bigger is always better but if you imagine the size of your hand as a rough sizing. I would personally make it a fairly large piece to do it some justice.

Cost wise you are looking at…[Read more]

Hi KH

Actually I should apologise whilst I stand by what I have said it was put forward as an unrestrained rant rather than objectively.

I understood the point you were trying to make but let my personal feelings get in the way of things. As for the twat who is talking about ‘suppressed sexual urges’ I think they are talking about themselves and…[Read more]

Dude that is taking something way too far!

There is no way that pics of naked kids can be considered art or anything other than what it is which is a fucking sick perversion. An adult can decide whether to get their kit off a child is exploited for some predator pervert.

Anybody disagrees and tries to say it is ‘art’ and I will ban their arse…[Read more]

Hi and welcome
What are you thinking of getting?

Well I think it was a solid attempt and much better than anything I could have chucked out.

Air brush has to be one of the hardest to do as the concentration needed along with no rubbing out does raise the stakes.

Keep at it and I am sure you will master it in no time.

Hi

Well to be honest there is no definitive answer as it varies according to the person who has been tattooed and their genetic heritage vs the environment that they are placed in.

Pale skin adapts better to cold weather rather than heat and the darker the pigment the better against the sun etc.

That said one of the common causes of red bumps…[Read more]
