Hey there! Welcome to the site!

I have an idea… you may think it’s dumb but hey… whateve, I’m just putting it out there.

I am really big into symbolism. Maybe you could incorporate a kite into a tattoo design. I know I know, it’s completely different than kite boarding but it would be a good story, something somewhat comical since an actual…[Read more]

You know, I went big for my first tattoo. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It’s having something huge that doesn’t mean anything that bothers me.

My artist lives over5 hours away from where I live. The way I went about everything was like so:

First: Go to the artist, tell them what you want (show pix etc) and get an estimate. Make sure they are aware you are from far away.

Second: Make an appointment on a set date, once you have the right amount of money (plus travel expenses)

Third:…[Read more]

So you’re wanting hands tattooing each other as your first tattoo? See if you like getting tattooed first… It seems to me you’re jumping the gun a little. I’d say get something that means something to you. Something that has to do with your life already.

I like Charvak’s idea. Educate yourself a little before getting anything done at all. I…[Read more]

Heeey you can show us your stuff in progress! I did! Befores, afters, and durings are great stuff!!

Nah I understand why you did it like that, it’s actually quite ingenious. But I’m a being of details… So you’re thinking of placement… then design I take it?

Hmmm I still don’t even think I’d get my kids’ faces tattooed on my body. Maybe a picture or flower to symbolize them, but not their actual face. That’s just me though.

To be quite honest with you… it’s your life. It’s not my life, it’s not your parent’s life, it’s your’s. You need to decide what you want to do without the influence of someone else telling you what to do. I assume that you are already in school for architecture right now because of your parents? Do you like it at all? That’s something you need…[Read more]

Hello!! Nice to meet you! Do you have any ink done?

The only reason I have the ink I have done now is because I view it as art. As well, it has some person meaning or symbol to do with my life. I see no artistic value or personal meaning in getting someone’s mug put on my body. So that’s a negative..

Nope don’t think so. An example of a place that may stretch.. your stomach. Other than that… I don’t know… Does anyone else?

Heya! Welcome to the club. If you need any help or suggestions, just ask. ^.^

Not digging small print quotes… Make it big and in some script..? Maybe under your tiger tattoo. Ink is art, make your text artistic… not just random, unless that’s what you’re going for. But really that’s just my opinion. Do what you feel is more you. I see you don’t have any ink on your arms.. are you planning to?

Excellent idea, aabliss551!

Only thing you have to take into consideration with waxing is if your skin is TOO sensitive for it. Mine is. I break out into either rash or acne with waxing. So you may want to try a small patch of skin/hair before going through with waxing. It’s always good to be prepared.

Hey there! I really like the cherry blossom one.

So… maybe you could have a white feather of some sort and have the charms hanging off different parts of it… or stuck around parts of the feather “hair” if you will. I’m big into feathers… so that’s just a thought. Maybe you could weave a chain around a feather with charms on it…?

Copyright images are always tattooed on people. You’re not making money by recreating the image. That’s like me drawing a label and getting sued for it. It’s fine. If you want, ask your artist. He’d be the one making money off of the picture, not you. That means if there are any problems with it, it’s his deal, not your’s. So… let the artist…[Read more]

Don’t think there is.. but that would be super kool! Like a mood ink or something… haha

Wow what a big career change. Well, welcome to the community and I hope you learn a lot here!!
