Mine had to be the section of my backpiece across the centre of my spine and eitherside of the kidneys.

hats off to the ladies with lower back tats.

Currently getting one lasered off my leg which I have to say stings like a bastard. 😡

Hi

Well personally I love full on backpieces and have nearly completed my own. Personally I do not think your concept is particulary masculine as it will make a stunning piece of art.

The back is not usually badly effected by stretch marks but maybe a little around the kidneys/hips – this can cause a slight distortion but would have to be very…[Read more]

Hi

Depends on what you like be it spiritualism or philosophy or sport etc

The mobius symbol is often a good one as it is eternity without end.

I have seen tattoos with ravens carrying pearls in their beaks which represents the soul continuing onwards on their journey after physical death.

My mate once got the phrase ‘Endless Mile with 2 foot…[Read more]

Except that the ghost was an absolute geek for the exorcist films and is determined to bring these skills into the afterlife.

Their particular skills are writing obscene messages (from the scripts of the films) in tea leaves across the kitchen floor such as ‘Your mother sucks cocks in hell’, twisting their head round and puking weetabix…[Read more]

Hi Kag

An anatomically correct heart is an image of the one that is beating in your chest with the tubes and veins not the romantic red heart.

If you do not want a picture it will be called a text or script tattoo as it is words only. The minimum size he should go is a 10 pt on font (12 is better) and at least an inch space.

A decent script…[Read more]

As a rough guess if you are around 13 stone and 5 foot 10 inches male resting wise you would burn around 800-820 calories per 24 hours resting.

So as a rough calc 800/24 = 33.3 calories an hour.

For the metabolic rate to increase you heart rate would have to be in the duress zone of around 130-150 bpm which would add a boost of around say 15…[Read more]

after finding out everyone hates you you kill yourself

Hi

Depends on what style you like could have;

a vine that is starting to wither.
flowers that have begun to wilt and die.
a timer counting down.
an hourglass with the sand forming a skull or reaper.

I have seen art where a person or object is looking into a mirror and showing them in skeletal or decay.

There could be cupped hands catching the…[Read more]

Hi

I visited Brugges which was great. I am from England but like to travel extensively so have got myself around a bit.

I hope to visit HK China and Japan next.

I do have some tattoos which are in my profile.

Hi

First of all it is not great but it could be a lot worse.

As suggested you could do with relining the body and a reshade will fill out the body much better and get the shading in on muscle definition.

The face is harder but again with shadowing and a full rework can be salvagble.

That said if you have portions of the body suit coloured…[Read more]

Hi

The way to plan it is simple – if you need to cover up and still want to wear ball gowns without tattoos showing the following would have to be removed from potential canvas;

Anything from the elbow down (incl hands and wrists)

Upper middle of the back and neck

Face/head

From the knee down to ankle.

Collar bones.

You might get away with…[Read more]

Hi

We would need to know more about his likes and dislikes, how big he wants to go with the tattoo and whether he wants it as a script only or picture and script tattoo.

Hi

It is very nice if I was being a perfectionist I would add a few more scales around the second eyelid (many drawings have dragons with 2 sets of lids one above and one at the side) so it seems more filled in with the eye.

Very nice though.
