Double bay is an area if you are not a multi multi millionaire it’s off limits, however I can see some very nasty law suits coming their way. I wonder how they will get on if a Rock star, sports star or Movie star with tattoos decides to go there? I guess having a tattoo means you are a criminal, damn that means getting a tattoo must be a crime,…[Read more]

Like you I work in a professional environment. I have to wear long sleeves at work. I’m in the final throws of designing additions to make full sleeves. Well almost, my sleeves will stop just above my watch, so I guess they are almost full sleeves. I’m really happy with half sleeves, but I really really want full sleeves. Would I like my…[Read more]

No one is going to laugh as it’s very strange unlike some Kanji that Westerners are wearing, that most probably says their mother is a goat. Whichever one you prefer go for it. Just a hint don’t get the text to small or it ‘smudge’ over time

Everyone has different ideas and it depends on a number of things. Personally I put lotion on until a light (very light) rub threatens to upset the scab. From then on I just leave it, trying not to get it wet or rub it, so no tight clothes over the tattoo. Everyone has different ideas, but common sense goes a long way, as tattooists have…[Read more]

Do yourself a favour plan your sleeve, you can then add bits an pieces and the plan may change a little over time. Have a look at some of the amazing sleeves that were planned from start to finish. If you have a plan you can always change it. With no plan you relying on the skill of the artist compromise and good luck. I started off with with…[Read more]

The million dollar question. You won’t know until it has healed. The answer is most probably some damage has occurred to the tattoo, this maybe from unnoticeable to requiring a touch up. Only time can give you the answer.

Although early days, was the advice so far correct?

Welcome.
Copying a design is a NO NO, however using it for inspiration is common. Tribal is pretty much the same. Take the idea to you tattooist, you don’t even need the photo then there is NO risk of it turning out the same, you can even get it in the same tribal style as your existing tattoo, which I think looks better than a number of…[Read more]

Times have changed, once it was just Criminals and sailors who had tattoos, now a large percentage of the community is tattooed, from emergency services to office workers. Does your company want to be seen t be a progressive company being able to attract the best workers, or just those that are not tattooed, or prepared to cover them up. Finding…[Read more]

It will be a challenge to make everything fit in, but a talented artist will be able to give you what you want

#1 This depends on which country you live in and who the artist is. Over USD$500 and it could be up to $1500 (however that would be for a very good artist)

#2 It depends on how big you intend to bulk up. It will also depend on how much more you will grow

#3 This is a very personal decision, if you like like it go for it as I can promise you…[Read more]

Amok come along to David’s Skull benefit party tonight and you will find out. Just bring plenty of headache tablets cause I think you are going to need them:D

The real tramps / sluts are the ones that dress, talk and act like sluts. It isn’t one thing that makes anyone into a slut / tramp it’s the package. If you behave the same way, dress the same way and talk the same tattoo or not your a slut. If you don’t well tattoo or no your not a slut. So saying if you tattooed ‘F’ me on your forehead well…[Read more]

Welcome and congratulations

Very Nice. You have a real tallent. Hopefully you will share more of your amazing work.

It depends on placement. I had one for years. It was great. No problems at all except the ball came off and I swallowed it (no problem) but alas the hole closed up. Yes I’m thinking of getting another, but you will talk very funny for a number of days. I didn’t have lisp or any other speech issue after about 5 days. You should have a long…[Read more]

Welcome. There are some pretty terrible tattoos out there. You will note some pretty sharp responses here to people posting where do i get tattoo supplies from because I want to start tattooing, as the are the people that provide the bad tattoos. You will find a number of tattooists / apprentices here, all very proud of their work and rightfully…[Read more]

Just remember tattoos are supposed to painful, so take the pain like a ‘man’, it will soon pass and your appointment will be here. I’m suffering with you. Just remember there are people here waiting over a year.

It depends on the size. Providing it’s not to small it will work very well.

What can you expect – well that depends on where you go.

If someone recommends a place or an artist go there first. Take your drawing along and ask to look at their folio with similar styles. If there are no recommendations, have a look for shops that are clean, well…[Read more]

Looking forward to seeing photos of the results.
