She’s already planning her next one. Glad I could turn her on to the addiction. 😀
I’m also thrilled that it turned out so well. My first one was crap.

you don’t want to get her too addicted otherwise the tattoo budget is going to get rather stretched:D

Very nice
At least now “Those with tattoos, don’t care if others have tattoos or not” Your off the hook

Welcome. You will get plenty of inspiration and encouragement here.
Enjoy

The downside is that it’s very costly. I’ve considered going to someone that works out of his house, but his work is hit or miss..Some of his work is ok, most is pretty bad. So far I’ve spent around $1750 (not including my generous tips) on myself and my wife’s ink. With tips well over $2k. Now I’m broke as shit and probably…[Read more]

They have been covered up, but I have never looked back and I’m always wanting more.

Welcome. There are some amazing people here. The talented artists, tattooists and then the rest of us that just collect them.

Very nice. They look great! I wish I could have my hands tattooed.

In some hot climates short shirt sleeves are acceptable in summer. In most cooler climates or where I live it still gets up to 110 degrees in summer, short sleeves are not acceptable except on Fridays (casual day). I’m a professional in a large corporate. One guy at work has a wrist tattoo and no one cares, however I wouldn’t push my luck with…[Read more]

I don’t have an answer as to why but with me the reds in my tattoos have always been slower to heal and seem to scab more than other areas.[/QUOTE
I noticed with the lighter colours that my tattooist tended to be much heavier and hence scabbed a bit more, but they came out really well.

Welcome.
It took me about a week to post any photos. There no rules or time limits to post photos.

Why not 2 maple leaves one on each wrist with initials in or to the top or bottom of each. Then your husband maybe happy.

Nice. I’m envious at the speed you are getting inked. I don’t know if I will be able to hold out until next March.

Holy sh*t are you serious?:eek: all this while and they are bad for me? I’m doomed… well happy, but doomed…

Considering where you live drugs are really bad for your neck! Don’t they put a rope around your neck and stretch it, if you are caught with drugs?

Very nice. You have a problem, you now have competition for tattoo funds!!!

Welcome.
The worst is about day 3 when it become itchy. It’s just annoying and you can’t scratch it, that is a big NO.

Very nice Parademic, it’s going to look really good when finished.

Smart move I was going to offer to do it for $1,000,000 and I have never held a tattoo machine! The best way is to have a look at the artists work preferably along the same style of work you are after. If a number are equal go with whoever you most comfortable with. Naturally the correct sterilisation germ control must be in place.

I doubt she will know and even care less, unless you put a rocket up her and the best way of doing that is exposing her to the authorities. If you have a consumer affairs / fair trading or equivalent agency contact them, as there is plenty of fraud going on by using another artists photo’s. Just remember the next person may not be as lucky as…[Read more]

Welcome always room for one more – especially when you bring your own ink!

I was wondering where you had gone to. What was the cause of the blackout? Was it the hurricane or some other problem? Good to see you back.
