Very nice. You should be very pleased and proud of it.

I think tattoo forum and a Motorbike, tattoos can’t be far away. I know very few people that ride motorbikes that don’t have a tattoo, I know lots of riders that have plenty of tattoos and I’m not referring to Motor Cycle gang members, just normal everyday riders.

Welcome, hope you like it here.

Welcome. You will certainly have a good time here. There is a lot of experience here, however there is only one way to learn how to tattoo and that is work in a shop with really good tattooists. Alas it’s start at the bottom. This site is great for encouragement and information, however no one will give you an online tutorial of how to tattoo.…[Read more]

Length of use
Initial …. 12 – 24hrs

I think if that is what the product website recommends I would follow those instructions.

Were you given a care sheet?
3 days seems too long. The previous method you did is standard. Someone else had a similar question. They located the covering. It’s designed for tattoos and they recommend frequent changes. At the very least call the shop and find our what the name of the ‘tape’ is. Then you can check it out on line. I would…[Read more]

Both tattoos look great. Congratulations to both. There is some amazing work on this site.

Welcome.
This place is great for encouragement and great ideas and an enormous amount of encouragement.

Welcome to my club. I normally wear long sleeves at work as I have to make certain my half sleeves are covered and corporate dress is mandatory, so what the hell, I’m about to go for full sleeves as they will be covered anyway. I live in Australia and yes it gets hot in Summer.

Your tattoo is great.
Your lucky that your snake is easy to handle, my diamond python is much smaller (at the moment) but bites everything especially me!

Welcome. You will enjoy it here, the only problem is there too much temptation to keep adding and plenty of encouragement and most here.

Nice, it looks well done.

I think we are missing something here, there is minimum skill set for tattooists. If they have been trained properly it wouldn’t be the case of “don’t worry about outlines, we will let you go straight to shading”. Outlining is used in the majority of tattoos and I know over in Oz, you don’t one tattooist doing the outline, then the shading…[Read more]

Maybe another way of looking at it, is what is the minimum time. I think that would be about 4 hrs and depending on you (how fidgety you are) your skin, the tattoo artist and we haven’t even considered the design. Then do the consultations (please don’t just get flash from the wall) over the design take time that normally weeks before the…[Read more]

Very Nice. Do have anything planned for after finishing that piece?

I’m envious. I hope you post the result.

There are plenty of talented artists here, but find a good Tattooist and they will be able to sort it out for you after all you are going to have to find a tattooist to do it. Welcome!

A bad tattoo looks bad anywhere. A good tattoo designed for the location looks great no matter where. Would I like a neck / hand tattoo you bet, will I ever have any NO. For those individuals whom have their career planned out and work in industries that accept visible tattoos lucky you.

I have
2 half sleeves (Shoulder to Elbow)
Backpiece that covers 70% of my back

I want
full sleeves (sometime next year)
Chest (below shirt line around the neck) that will end up covering my ribs and roll into my back piece
Legs undecided

All tattoos must be hidden under business clothing.

I interview a number of people. I just want the best person and as most wear suits, who knows and even less cares what under there, but hypothetically lets say I wanted to discriminate against blonde hair. I would report back to the employment agent I don’t like that person because of their hair, but I didn’t think they had enough experience etc…[Read more]
