Hi and welcome

I would advise choosing a pro artist who specialises in only synthetic pigments (inks) as some can contain trace animal elements.

Good luck with the design and look forward to seeing your idea(s).

Hi

The two main interpretations are the battle between heaven and earth (dragon heaven and tiger earth).

The other is the issue of harmony based around the balance of constant struggle – some call this the battle between good and evil.

Hi

In answer to your question it is going to be quite difficult to cover up the black with red unless you go for a few laser sessions.

Alternatively you would need several (5-6?) layering sessions of a very dark red. The problem you have there is the skin would become quite scarred and there is no guarantee that the black would be fully…[Read more]

Hi

You could have an open palm with an hour glass resting in the centre with the earth spinning within the hour glass.

Surround the rest with comets, stars and suns and such and I am sure it would look sweet.

The hand represents commonality of existence in that we all start on the same level, the hour glass is the fact that time is what…[Read more]

There are several pro artists who use this site who might be willing to discuss the sale of flash to your company.

Hi

With that amt of detail so close together you would be better doing it bigger at least 3-4cm to stop the loss of detail.

Tattoos generally start to fade after 10+ years but can easily be reshaded. It can be less iff you have it exposed to sunlight a lot.

Most tattooists will not tattoo over a mole as damage to them can cause it to become…[Read more]

There are not many designs where I want to rip my shirt off and say to my artist slam that baby on there…

This is one of them and bad health aside I am sorely tempted as I have been toying with a similar design.

If I do go ahead with a chest piece can I ask permission to use this as a source of inspiration? (the artist will draw his own up…[Read more]

That is because we have our own disgusting slang here thanks.

Also my sewer that I call a mind is currently under a cleansing after I found that I was able to picture cartman happy ending a dog – that picture was not far off.

Hi

I think it is a variety of factors like anything that we buy.

Some artists do indeed hold a monopoly especially in smaller areas with few others within reasonable travelling distance.

Some may give a high price if they cannot be bothered to do the work and use that to discourage the customer (odd i know but it does happen).

Some genuinely…[Read more]

Hi

I like the work – I would possibly reshape the curve of the razor slightly so it is more proportionate.
You could also add the banner of love kills slowly with the blade bisecting the words.

Some great rough sketches though keep up the work.

I know Evil from The Needle (Camden) can handle that style of tattooing and are a great studio (although they are not native)

Hi

Nausea after a tattoo is a symptom that can affect some ppl and should clear within 24-48 hours as your body adjusts (getting a tattoo puts a massive strain on your reserves and immune system).

It is a form of shock that can cause the sickness.

However if you still feel nausea or dizziness after this point you need to see a dr asap.
