Inkslingers or Hype – theyre both very close together, Inkslingers being the better from what i’ve heard – but ive had friends who’ve been tattoo’d by lee in hype and their tatt’s are great.

itd look very out of place in my opinion, i’d go for it maybe on your hip or something more discrete, names of people, afterall dont need to be seen by everyone to get your own desired effect.

He sounds like a dick for saying girls look slutty with tattoo’s [no offence], do with yourself what you want to do, its your body not his, maybe you want to keep him happy, thats all well and good but if you want it he should be happy FOR you. Thats my philosophy anyways =]

Look forward to seeing it,

its painful to watch, its clear aubrey has been used to people TRYING to get along with HER, instead of HER trying to get along with other people. Clearly she was a popular girl and her ‘looks’ have carried her, not in the world of tattooing, nobody can get away with being a stupid fuck. at the same time that shes annoying, theyre also very harsh…[Read more]

You can ask the tattooist if he/she thinks it’s overbalanced 😛 pretty simple answer but theyre usually pretty keyed up on these things lol.

to be honest, you have got to have a vague idea of the type of tattoo you want

ii had the idea of an asian style tattoo in my mind and i narrowed it down to 3 things, they were, a dragon, a geisha or a tiger, and i decided after looking at pieces and how the look for long enough that a dragon would be for me, you see, we cant tell you what you…[Read more]

eating and loading on sugar doesnt help the pain, it helps the tolerance to faint/be sick – the pain is never the problem, its more than tolerable, even a buzz to some people – but its the blood that sometimes gets people and makes them faint/be sick. keep your eyes away from your arm if your getting a lot of shading/block black/colour done on…[Read more]

i think, every tattooist has their own idea on prices, it’s all based on time, is his rate 60 quid an hour? if so thats like 8 hours, and some half sleeves can take longer than that, you’ve got to ask yourself do you want to go to another place who will charge less because he will take less time, it probably wont be as badass then.

i would say, in my opinion, you’ve tried to take care of it too much 😛 but yeh go see the guy, and ask for a touchup, depending on the place, though, you may have to pay, if he gave you a form and it says “failure to follow these rules may result in a bad tattoo, this can be put right, but at your own cost” or something like that, you could have to pay.
