replied to the topic Opinions/advice for first time tattoo: great wave + zazen circle in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 16 years, 3 months ago
Hi
There is no reason why you cannot tweak it so it is unique to you. You could have your own style of boat racing the crest of the wave or have a serpent rising up from the depths etc.
It is a great design and no reason why you cannot work it so you put a fresh perspective on it.

One of the artists at the studio im having my back done has been to Japan 3 times for a full front dragon which he is having done via stick method.
He says it hurts a bit more than normal but generally it takes a bit longer.
The outline and shading is very different to that of a machine as well close up – nice but more layered.

replied to the topic First Tattoo Design in the forum Inked Skin 16 years, 3 months ago
Hi
That is a very unique design but as said above the red tribal needs some more work – it either needs removing or boldening up a little as it detracts from the diamonds – almost like an afterthought.
I do not intend to bag your idea I liken the design but you want the absolute best as it is on skin for life.
Have you considered having the…[Read more]

Hi
Have you considered taking separate parts of the dragons you like to your tattoo artist to draw up the complete style that you like?
I did a similar thing with my backpiece I passed him the main dragon but also gave him several others and pointed out the bits I liked and he put it together for for me.
Sometimes it is difficult to find that…[Read more]

Hi and welcome
Most scars with the exception of certain deep burns and skin graphs can be tattooed over without too much of a problem but you really should ait at least 18 mths – 2 years before doing so to ensure that it has healed fully beneath the surface.

replied to the topic Tattoo cover up in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 16 years, 3 months ago
Hi
If you are going for bold or darkish colours over the outline that would cover up nicely.#
What are you having it covered with?If you are going for more tribal i would suggest reworking the outline professionally alternatively a dragon or other large piece will cover that nicely.

replied to the topic Poem Tattoos Feminine? Masculine? Neither? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 16 years, 3 months ago
Hi Zeke
It depends on 2 things;
The style of font used and the style of background it is placed with.
You can have it very feminine – elegant font surrounded with flowers, hearts, cute bunnies etc.
Very masculine bold gangster font with flaming skulls etc
Or it can be neutral and just be a plain set of text done in a nice font (elegant or…[Read more]

Hi
I have looked at thousands of tattoos and did several interviews with couples that had a sharing tattoo concept.
The most common issue that I encountered was that there was a slight dissatisfaction in many of the couples as one often felt pressured to compromise on a design their partner liked more then them.
It was usually described as…[Read more]

Hi
It really depends on how big you want to on each piece and whether it is colour or black n shade.
If you want it to represent family and friends you could have a floral piece done with vines that have bows and hearts woven into it.
