You have one life to live I say live it.

Doc says it’s OK, and your wife is gonna be all over you about proper aftercare, so I think you’re good to go!

I’m sure the doc and artist both told you already but you’re going to want to eat a good meal before you head to the shop, and bring a little something with you in case…[Read more]

That second sitting was worth it. Turned out really nice.

I’m looking for japanese

Oops, I guess I missed that detail in the thread somehow. My bad.

I personally find that the Japanese that Steven Turner does leans toward American Traditional a bit. But I’m definitely not an expert in the Japanese style and I’m sure someone else here will peruse the pics and give you a more…[Read more]

Great pics guys. I love Chief – the attack dog!! And the senior golden made me smile, too.

Here’s a pic of my little peanut, Gucci. The picture is a few years old but it shows her doing her favourite thing. She is ball obsessed. She will be 15 this August, and has put a smile on my face every single day.

i like the lion one because it’s more realistic, but if you can get the tiger one like that then i’d pick the tiger.

reason being is because 1. they are my favorite animal, lol and 2. tigers are the kings of the jungle. tiger vs lion, the tiger wins. they are way more alpha

Find a different artist. One who has the talent to draw something spectacular up for you.

Sam-I-am has given you tons of good advice. Wait a few days and reread all that he has written to you here. No-one wants to hear that the tattoo that they are so proud of sucks, but yours can be fixed by the right artist. Made into something absolutely…[Read more]

Wow. My first thought was: Holy cover up, Batman.

I am really looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Because it looks like magic is about to happen. PLEASE keep us posted!

Wardy please take two minutes to learn the difference between your and you’re.
you’re = you+are
your = something that is someones

Funny, I had assumed that by now Wardy was doing it that way on purpose. Just to push your buttons, buttwheat.

This will be a great opportunity for someone.

What they said. ^^^^^^^

I quite like the one of Jack and Sally. But the other one is totally jacked. Not even recognizable as either character. The colour on Beetlejuice’s face is really blotchy and uneven too. REALLY?? That is supposed to be Beetlejuice? It is all kinds of bad. Sorry.

I live in Seattle that is the best sunblock available

Dude, I second that!! Plus 2 hours farther north into the rainforest. Damn good thing that tattoos are rustproof.

And when I travel south to Mexico or one of those sunshine states you will probably find me in a palapa or a cabana. And a thorough coat of sunscreen.

OK, here are your options.

(a) Laser
(b) Laser
(c) Laser
(d) All of the above

Nothing says “bad cover up” like a sea of black ink. You can either live with what you have or refer to DEFiANC3’s excellent advice. Except where he said “Laser” he should probably have said “a shitload of Laser”.

Welcome to the forum! The pictures worked for me.

I think that the first thing you have to do is spend some time figuring out what style you prefer. Those samples you posted are all over the place – traditional, Japanese, not sure what style the elephant is called (but I do like it).

I wouldn’t worry too much about whether it will “go” with…[Read more]

Peter – your signature disappeared again. 🙁

Check out Marc Durrant – I think he has done couple in that style. This one of his is similar, but with more saturated colours.

It might be worth talking to him. He is in Northridge, CA.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Looks sweet. I bet you are pretty happy with how it came out, as you should be.
