Welcome to the forum

Lots of good advice here already, but here is my 2 cents worth.

Watching someone else get a tattoo can get really boring pretty quickly. I had someone come once, to chat with me, but they kept trying to have a conversation when all I wanted to do was breathe. I also had some friends come down to a tattoo convention where I was getting some work…[Read more]

Her right arm and hand are off and something is wrong with her upper lip/mouth. Let it heal up before you pass judgement on it.

And she is really flat chested for a pin-up. She needs bigger boobies. 😀

I don’t think this is going to ruin your sleeve, but ask him to fix it up a little when you go back in October.

Like these guys said, take the image in to your artist and ask them to come up with their version of it.

More important – find yourself a really good artist.

Very well put, Henrik. Way to ‘pay it forward’.

Maybe. But you’re OUR asshole!!

I saw a little bit of what was written on the Domantas Parvainis facebook page, before you deleted your comments there. I didn’t see anything you put there that was disrespectful at all to him. In fact to me it looked like you were very respectful.

Your first post here clearly took it with humor, and noted that he is a great artist.

And yours…[Read more]

Just ignore the growls, most won’t bite. 😉

It is nice when someone educates themselves a little BEFORE the go get a tattoo. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. Some of my best tattoos are from LA. (Well, just one. But it’s a beauty!)

Go with the first one it’s nice and random. Now time to take it to a great tattooist and give it to him/her and also give them full freedom to change and or tweak it.

Do what he said ^^^^

Nice one. You can show that off proudly.

Ouch. Bummer.

I’m only 23, I’ve got plenty of years ahead in terms of work so like I said, I would love to go all the way to my wrists but with so many places who don’t allow visible tattoos I don’t want to be condemned to long sleeve shirts all of my life.

I think that you answered your own question.

But sticking with half…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am having issues with my PC, so I can’t post a pic of my existing tattoo.

Well I hope you have those PC issues sorted out soon, because I certainly want to see pics of this one when it is done. You have picked a great artist to work with. Looking forward to seeing it.

Welcome to the forum.

I like that!! Very nice.

I really do love the look of a B&G sleeve. And if I had ever planned to do a sleeve I probably would have gone that way.

But for, not sure what to call them except ‘here and there??’ tattoos or I guess ‘single’ tattoos, I like them better in colour.

So I started with beautiful colour tattoos. (That recently seem to be trending toward a sleeve.…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck next week. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Very nice. I like it, too.

I got my first tattoo at 56 years of age. I’ll probably fade before they do.

I bought a carton of SPF 50 sunscreen.

When I got my first one (in my 40’s) I remember thinking that by the time it starts to blur, my eye’s will be going anyways.
