yeah some sort of bandaging should do the job

putting a decent layer of gauze or similar overthe top and fixing that down and then putting your shirt overthe top should protect it well

i like it . it is sort of a new take on the whole grim reaper thing having all the handsreachign up to pull at him too.

when are you thinking of having more work done? ie the shading or your right shoulder?

And welcome to the forums:)

i think i like the second one better but yeah it may run the risk of being a big blodge of black over time.

find a good artist and you should be fine though

calm it down a little please guys

in response to your question ink matching shouldnt be a problem. most established artists will be able to do this fairly easily.

however if you only got the tattoo within the last week give ittime to heal before passing judgement. colouring etc may look different as it heals and you may find it looks fine once…[Read more]

not sure i am following here.

what is emaning of alien tattoo?

as in ifyou have analien what does it signify?

or when an alien gets a tattoo what doesit meanin the alien homeworld?

fuck knuckle and the spintown pinkies

cant really see the photo’s very well

can you upload them here then everyone can rate them

“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.”

i dont think ti will have any effect at all.

many people scratch tats into themselves when they think its gonna be cool

some might even see it as a valuable lesson you have learnt.

if you are really worried get new tats done to cover the old crap up

instead of shaving why not try waxing?

seriously a couple of days before your next session wax your arms.

firstly you wont get dirty big thick hairs on your arms. and second i think there is less trouble with ingrown hairs from waxing.

obviously dont do it until your tat is healed.

brilliant

congrats on taking the plunge and i hope you get there.

Do you have any particular style you want to aim for or is that something your hoping will develop itself?

Also stick up some pics so wer can see your work as it develops. perhaps a bit of creative crit will be good

to be honest what would anyone do about it. I can just imagine the conversation now

“The hon judge Gobelcoque presiding finds you guilty of copyright infringment. You will need to remove it”

“it doesnt come off”

“what not at all?”

“no”

“have you tried an eraser?”

“dont be a dick”

“sorry”

hey welcome to the forums

tobehonest it vcaries a little from person to person.one thing to consider is that when your tat is healing keeping it dry is pretty important and sweating through it is probably gonna have an effect oen way or another.

personally i would say give it a week without any really major cardio or any heavy lifts that are…[Read more]

get some non perfumed lotion from your pharmacy. see if that has the same effect.

it may be that she is having a reaction to the ink or possibly the cream.

go back to the tattoo artist and ask for advice also.
