Sam’s right. Pictures would help a lot.

Did you wear either socks or shoes over the area? Anything that rubs can “erase” the ink out of a new tattoo. Especially while it is healing. And feet can take a lot longer to heal. After my foot was tattooed I wore no socks and only pumps that did not cover the area for a full six weeks. In the dead…[Read more]

Damn. Nice. Damn nice.

I hate you.

I’m not an artist, so I won’t be seeing it. But I totally get how excited you must be. He does some stunning stuff, so talented.

You have talking tattoos? That’s awesome. Mine don’t tell stories, they just look pretty. 😉

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with Peter that a great picture is better than A word. But if you really want writing, how about “Made in”?

Either way, make sure you find a really good artist. Quality counts.

I saw a post today on IG that said: Two kinds of people get great tattoos. The lucky and the educated.

So, are you feeling lucky? No? Then do what you can…[Read more]

Nice stuff. I really really like the skull.

I’m a little over the Walter White tattoos I keep seeing, but that’s probably because I never watched Breaking Bad.

Congrats.

I found out today a good friend and close neighbor died on January 2. He was 49 years old and died of a heart attack. He was going through a very stressful time with his wife and four children. May he rest in peace.

I’m so sorry, Sam. Some are taken from us way too young.

People eat on New Year’s day? Huh.

(I don’t usually feel up to food after the night before. I usually get in some good napping though.)

Welcome to the forum.

I WISH that I could draw as well as a five year old. I seem to be pretty good at picking artists these days though, so I leave the drawing and designing up to them.

Welcome!!!

Wow. Just because someone tells you something that you don’t like doesn’t mean that their response isn’t worthwhile. (Especially when you have been given the same advice when you posted something similiar on another forum of PROFESSIONAL TATTOO ARTISTS.)

There IS value in an apprenticeship. In fact I would say that it is invaluable. You…[Read more]

Oh, Lola, you’re making me want a dog. Too bad I’m never home. 🙁

I want one, too. I’m missing my little peanut a lot these days, but my office may be moving to where I can’t get home on my lunch so I have to wait to see how that shakes out first. It might be a year or two before I know.

I really miss being a ‘chin rest’.

1) You need to calm down.
2) This thread is useless without pictures. (Can’t actually see your profile pic in good quality)
3) It’s your own fault for going to a scratcher.

And well; It looks like it’s on your finger, if it is, just wait. It’s gonna disappear all on it’s own soon enough.

Pox is right. And you should be…[Read more]

I got the tattoo on the 13th and it’s already healing. Normally I just slip on my flats that leave the top of my foot uncovered, but it snowed over the weekend and I have to finish up Christmas shopping today (I’m so lazy). Should I put something over it before I slip on my shoe? Thanks! 🙂

No. It is healing, not healed.…[Read more]

I know that when you are planning your first tattoo you want to figure it all out to the smallest detail before you go see an artist. You feel like you need to have it all nailed down before you, as you said, waste someone’s time. But what I, and a lot of others, have learned is that you should be spending that time finding the BEST artist that…[Read more]

Whippets are sighthounds and LOOOOOOVE to run. My stepsister takes hers to a fenced school field and stands in the middle while her dogs run lap after lap around the field. They do tend to be shy and timid, but are very loving dogs.

They also used to have fun whippet races at a park near me for owners to exercise their dogs. Oh the glee in…[Read more]

The picture made me squish up my face and go “aaawwwww”.

Whippets are wonderful dogs, my step-sister had a couple and spending time around them made me realize what beautiful, sweet creatures they are. (Apparently yours is a creature of destruction, but that should fade with her puppy-hood.)

Love it! Nice one.

I’m glad you didn’t.

No offence but it’s animal cruelty, ID tattoos are fair enough but anything else is just wrong.

No offence taken. Her ID tattoo was done while she was under anasthesia to get spayed and I had her microchipped at the same time. So it was pretty cruelty-free. A friend had her puppy ‘chipped’ while it was…[Read more]
