Nice, half sleeves look great,nothing wrong with that, however I’m not happy at my halves and hope to be full by the end of next year. I’m lucky I work in an office where business shirts (long sleeve are expected), it’s amazing how some attitudes never change over 100 Degrees and people are running around suits and ties and of course tattoos.

Welcome, if you don’t mind, send some of that cold my way, I hate the heat…

Very nice. Which Shop and Artist?

An amazing city, when I was there a few years ago it was the first time I had ever seen snow fall.

Welcome.
Sorry to hear about your loss, but at least you have a great tattoo to remember him by.

No matter what the laws are in Canada hopefully you will do the responsible and morally correct thing and help your daughter find an apprenticeship, not allow her to mutilate people. There are a number of photos of VERY bad tattoos done by people just like your daughter.
Here is one of the latest…[Read more]

This forum is a very sharing forum. Effectively what you are saying is “I have cool tattoos, but I”m not going to show you” you have just been waving a red rag in front of a lot bulls. If you post a few photos you will find a totally different attitude.

Happy Birthday, I bet you were born with tattoo looking birth marks!

Do you have any rough idea how long it will take though? It will be 23 letters and about 1.5cm high and 20cm long. Obviously i realise every tattoo artist works at a…[Read more]

I saw a guy (he made me think of Wardy) about 20 2 full sleeves (knuckles) and cobwebs on his elbows. I was jealous. There is no way he could have spent 4 or 5 years in the big house. Then again isn’t everyone with a tattoo either a Jailbird or want to be jailbird (sarcasm). Go for it Wardy!

Pain is a funny thing, however I found the biceps one of the least painful areas.

I agree with Buttwheat.

Ask to look at the tattooists portfolio, most will offer you a look before you get a chance to ask, the better artists are rightfully proud of their work and will take any chance to show it off.

Congratulations.

I’m confused as “I have a good amount of work done on my arm and neck already” that should be a pretty good guide to how much it will cost. This is the sort of question that someone asks before they step into a Tattoo shop

The good news is it can to a large part be fixed up. Make certain you go to a tattooist (professional this time) that is experienced in fixing up poor work. Don’t let him make a bad job worse as the more it gets messed up the harder it is to fix. Have a look at others tattoos here, except for a few problem ones posted with the title how do I…[Read more]

I’m not a fan of grey either, but that looks awesome. When are you going to give the other arm some ink

To add to Wardy’s words of wisdom. Many Tattooists specialise in specific styles. Take time to look at their portfolios of similar styles to what you are after. Hint if the studio looks dirty and uninviting look elsewhere.

Very nice.

Very nice, When do you think you will complete it?

Wardy the Cop was most probably in shock, he was expecting no license, stolen car and as everyone knows anyone with tattoos that is not in jail must have just got out!!!!! In the sate in live in (Aus) 2MPH over the speed limit and you get a fine. 22MPH over and your car gets confiscated. Do it twice in your lifetime and the car gets crushed.

This is a BIG personal preference, I prefer the symmetrical straight line finish, but unless you are getting your hands tattooed or neck / facial tattoos you may want to the option to hide them on special occasions and if that is the case you can’t go any further. The choice is all yours and it looks great no matter what.
