my aunt got a portrait of her two daughters tattooed on her leg right above the ankle. it was from a pic taken of them together and turned out very nice. make sure you go to someone who specializes in portraits! my only problem with getting a portrait of my children is what age do you do it? they grow and change so much over the years that it…[Read more]

i would find a good artist who specializes in tribal and have them design it. that way its custom and made just for you and your body! if you google ‘ tribal leo lion tattoo’ and click on the first site there is a pic of one, but i would go custom all the way.

very pretty, i like it. its actually a diaper rash ointment lol…but its what i was told to use and it worked! who would’ve thought? i had to ask the artist the same thing though! and after he told me i was like ‘what? are you serious’ 😉

i’d love to see a picture of it! i used a&d ointment for about 4 days and switched over to lotion, unscented. i’ve never used the bepanthan stuff so i’m not sure. when i had my first several years ago i used tattoo goo and they told me just to stick with that until healed…this time i was told to wait about 3 days and switch to just lotion. i…[Read more]

thanks matthew, my hubby said the same thing, that it would’ve been too big and part of the 4th leaf probably would’ve been hidden anyway with the dice and all, so i’m pretty happy with it.

Mon, 18 May 2009 16:07:58 +0000

thanks, i really like the color in it too, it was supposed to be a 4 leaf, but i didn’t catch it until it was too late, nerves i guess. not sure how i feel about that yet but i think it’s okay. don’t think it changes the ‘lucky’ meaning much…

i don’t have any ideas, just wanted to throw in my 2 cents…i’m getting a memorial for a friend on my ribs on saturday, there is no rip, just his name and a few things he loved thrown in around it…i don’t think memorial tats are about living in the past, i see it as a way a lot of people can move on without feeling like they’ll forget, or like…[Read more]

hmm, i want to be cautious and not put my body through too much shock definitely…would it help to do the tat first and go on how i feel? the tat artist and the piercer (different shops) both say it should be okay…lmao, i actually think i may take a pic or two, with the unpierced bits covered up maybe. idk if i’ll have the balls to post em but…[Read more]

you ripped it out? ouch! i haven’t talked to anyone about them…its just what i’ve read so it could be wrong idk…i like the ones by the eye too, they’re cute. i was thinking maybe someday i’ll use a couple to add to a tattoo, sort of make it pop a little!

i agree and would go with the chest or upper arm, leaving the back for a bigger piece. just wondering matthew how does one ‘test’ the ribs? i’m getting mine there, no backing out, but would like to do something other than pinching myself to get a good idea of what is coming…if there is a way 🙂

i really like these and have looked at getting one/some but heard that your skin can reject them and they can migrate…so i’m holding back for now…someday maybe. yours look really cute:)

lol, i can take the weekend off but getting wasted afterward sounds good too:p. i guess i’ll see how i feel, i figure i’ll be pretty tired and not up to it. so i’ll be sure to get sleep, eat, and take a soda. i always thought you drank water to avoid getting dehydrated and stuff but soda it is! thanks, i can’t wait to get it done and over, the…[Read more]

i’m not super experienced or anything but you have 2 arms so unless you plan on sleeving both you could always do the other arm later. or put the scripture on the other arm, either way. but i think a good artist could incorporate it somehow, i’ve seen lots of people with sleeves worked into other older tats, my husband has 3 completely different…[Read more]

lol i had never even considered that my boob will probably be visible while i was getting the ink! no biggie, i’m sure they’ve seen many more:p but yeah i guess since i’ll have to be in a bathing suit or seriously short shirt to see it it won’t be too masculine!

how big are we talking? i know it won’t be tiny b/c of everything going on. i’m thinking it will be a side piece, haven’t decided on rib or hip though, so i should have room. i’m having trouble fitting the logo into it all, it just seems out of place:(
