Hi Blue

I have quite a number of links for dragons but would help what style of dragon are you after?
There are the Far Eastern, Trad-Fantasy, Modern fantasy, Metallic, Bio-mech, Serpent, demonic etc

Do you want the flowers to wrap around the dragon or to be a main part of the tattoo as in transforming a flower into a dragon shape?

Hi and welcome

I got a couple of friends who are games programmers and they love it – well worth pursuing a career in the industry.

Thanks for the comments.

I have been reducing the sitting times to once every 4 weeks on the last few as I seem to be taking longer to heal – 3-4 weeks as opposed to 2 weeks.

I am also going to add to the clouds etc but that will be towards the end as just concentrating on getting the outlines filled in.

Thanks again

Hi

Moisturise the area before you goto bed and avoid nylon sheets. I sometimes suffer the same with teh red in my back tattoo nothing major just an irritation brought on by heat.

Hi

As already said pure white ink does not stay in the skin very well over protracted periods of time.
I would also advise against UV inks – they have not been made for human consumption and no long term effect testing has been done on them yet. (See my blog before diving in).

I can recommend Phil Webster of Skin Chaos (The Tattoo House in…[Read more]

Hi

Whilst I get the principle which will make a good tattoo my concern is the sizing. A pro artist can sketch up something clean and detailed but if you go smaller than that the details are going to be cramped and blur with time.

Talk it over with the artist as you may have to compromise on the level of detail if you want to go smaller.

Hi and welcome.
What are you planning on having done and which artist?

Hi

It is all down to personal taste. Myself I would have a portrait done in black and shade and would get any further ones done the same.

That said I have full colour backpiece and can see the attraction.

The reason I suggest black and shade is because flesh tones can be very difficult to establish (although looking at the artists this should…[Read more]

Hi

It is normal your body is pumping endorphins so that you will not feel the pressure of a hand or arm pressing on the flesh until afterwards.

Bruising is somewhat common after a big piece like that – my back looked like I had been beaten with the bruises.

Plenty of ice wraps and a pic would be great I love to see big tattoos as a work in…[Read more]

Hi

I have used it with no problems and was quite effective but avoid the extra cooling one you want the plain type.

Otherwise tattoo goo, black cat etc are all good.
