Most Good tattoo shops have tribal flash

A good artist can fit tribal designs to fit your particular body shape and size

Do you have an artist and shop in mind?

wait till it heals then get it covered by a reputable artist, report this tattoo studio to the health dep, chalk it up to a learning curve.

You just found out about the Bad Brains?

Where have you been the last 27 years?

LOL

Alot of tattoo shops in the US will have that guy as flash already

Don’t get tattooed in Vegas!

LOl nah just kidding – like anywhere “touristy” you have to be careful

Let me ask some friends who are local and get back to you

My old Tattooist in Nottingham (Danny) use to say Tattooing is the world’s 2nd oldest profession – ha ha

In all seriousness they have found mummified bodies that are 9000 years old that have tattoos on them

There are literally 1000s of Japanese style tattoo images on the web plus many good book shops have books on Traditional Japanese body art

I am willing to bet any real tattoo shop worth their salt will have a bunch of Japanaese art books in their back room – just ask!

Ok cool!

i for one would be interested in hearing how your experiences with a new artist goes 😮

Well sounds to me he is pretty new to getting inked and probably didn’t feel confident enough to walk out

You live and learn what can I say

Go get a new artist!

You are giving someone the right to work on YOUR skin if they don’t appreciate that then move on

ya know?

Sorry to hear about your experience mate

if its any consolation most of us have had one or two bad experiences over the years – once you go to a pro place you will never look back

keep us updated on that crappy shop and how your touch up goes

Cheers!

I have pretty dry skin and when I shave at home (my head and face ) there is pretty much only 1 brand of razor that agrees with me

Looks great!

Inspired by anything?

hey hey Laura!

Half body suit? not in a Japanese style?

Do you have an artist in mind?

In NYC you will find artists that just do “#34 off the wall please” and you have guys that only work full body suits etc

let us know

I have a butterfly with a victorian style skull as a head with six shooters in its wings on the side of my leg and no one has ever thought it to be feminine

I had friends look into it and I am pretty sure its free if you can talk your way on the show

I’m curious to know if its more expensive to have one of those artist tattoo you because they are just extremely talented and experienced or because they run a show and its a tie between paying for a well know artist and “TV star”

Mathew pretty much summed it up – its the same with Miami Ink they charge up the wahzoo to get tattooed by…[Read more]
