So a visible tattoo is in some sectors an employment ‘no no’ but yet if I had a full thickness burn on one of my arms as a result of an accident…
What about if your had a tattoo over a burn that made the sight of the original burn less stomach churning than the Freddy Kruger effect that was there before.

Some good and valid points here. Which kinda brings me to my dilemma.
I have a half sleeve that I’m kinda toying with either going 3/4, full or ending at half (easily covered by my uniform).
I work for the ambulance service in the UK and whilst it was on the requirements for my pre-employment that the service didn’t condone tattoos visible that…[Read more]

I’m currently on an 8mm. I started with a stud I had in for years and then bought a titanium circular barbell which was slightly larger than the wire on the stud. From there I added another for a few days, then another, then another etc till I had 4 through the same hole. From there I managed to get the smallest flesh tunnel through and just went…[Read more]

Ok, so a few responses in, I’ve just found the ‘Newbie hello’ section.
I found this site whilst looking for some on-going inspiration for a ‘work-in-progress’ sleeve I’m having done at present. I’ll post that issue in a separate thread.
I hail from sunny (or not so most of the time) UK. Right now its f-f-f-f-f-f-f-bloody freezing over here and…[Read more]

PMSL – totally OTT but amusing.
She only said yes cuz he’s minted… he’d have to be to afford the bill for that.
What’s wrong with a good old fashioned ‘down on one knee in a romantic setting’? lol
He shoulda had that tattooed.

TBH mate I’m not sure. I’m a Scorpio and really wanted to incorporate that into my design but not sure if it works in Jap style as its a completely different thing astrology and traditional designs.
I would possibly recommend either speaking to someone on here who really knows their background into Jap styles and what goes/doesn’t go together and…[Read more]

Birth weight in Roman Numerals?
Taking into account you’ve had Jap work done, wouldn’t Kanji numbers be more in keeping with the design?
Just a thought.

I think this is deviating away from the original thread a little.
At the end of the day, if everyone had the same tattoo, it would be a little boring. What one person likes inked, another won’t necessarily. For me personally, tribal on me had it’s day a few years ago, a bit like the Celtic bands everyone trended for back in the early 90’s – but t…[Read more]

replied to the topic How do you begin a sleeve? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 12 years, 8 months ago
My advice on designing your own, and this is from someone who used to be a designer by trade (ok not tattoo more advertising and graphics), DON’T design your own. I have one I designed myelf and I’m forever looking at it and thinking “that coulda been improved… I’m not happy with that… etc
When I had my sleeve started, I scoured the net for…[Read more]
