INVADER ZIM! Buwahahaha… funny.

The classic dragon… gotta love it. Are you going for color or black and gray?

Well… I’ve always heard line work is more painful than shading, so you’re in luck there. It’s just that shading takes longer. I like the idea of adding one pigment for accenting. I will be accenting my gray and black piece with pink. You could accent your’s with red or green. I couldn’t see the pearl… am I missing it? Is it up on your…[Read more]

Not worth it. If you have any creativity at all… spend your money else where.

I did that when I got my side done. But I really don’t take pain that well. I suggest bringing lollipops with a chewy center. I had the intense craving/need to bite down real hard. I even chewed on the lollipop sticks after I ate all of the candy. It was a real plus to have them.
Also… I had to concentrate real hard on one thing to keep from…[Read more]

There are some of these all over the place. If you go to the big cities like Dallas or Denver, you’ll see them. It just sort of depends on where you are. Make sure that when you are picking the locations, they are near areas where more new age people like to hang out or mingle. A good idea is to make one of these near a tattoo parlor. Generally…[Read more]

Ensightful? Haha… welcome aboard. I just recently got my first tat. Hope we can help you out with your’s. And you know? I had the same thought that you did, even while I got my ink done. It’s only after a couple of months now that I realize it’s reality. I view ink as an achievement; an event that has made a person stronger. Enjoy your stay!!

I love that style… DUH! It’s the same style mine is in(except yours is more masculine.) Looks amazing. Your artist did a great job and it looks like you sat still. Bravo. =)

Dear god, that looks like massive pain. I have the one on my ribs… anymore than that and I think I’d die!! Looks great. Definitely stay with gray and black unless you wanted to add one more accent color. Old school black and gray is great. Nice ass by the way!! Hehe

Ya… I’d have to agree… You need to go back to the artist and have them look at it to decipher if it’s normal for that to happen or not…

Poor guy…be sure to lube up. They need moisture from lotions. My favourite is Jergens with Shea Butter. It’s very soothing. I have very sensitive skin and I have problems with shaving in general. This always gives me the relaxation I need. Try it and good luck with your day.

I like the second one and if you added the flowers it would look rad.

It’ll be as soon as I can take off and drive/fly back to Dallas. Probably somewhere in November or something like that. Why?

So this is my tattoo as it stands. This is 7 days in and my skin sorta got irritated from when he shaved my side. Other than that it’s healing nicely. It hurt like CRAZY! I just hope the shading isn’t so bad. But here it is.

This is my dragon with cherry blossoms and water. Notice the dragon is classic Japanese style except for the face. It’s…[Read more]

I just got my first tattoo on the 3rd of July. I designed my own picture and I drew a lot of it for my tattoo artist. He then reincorporated my idea into his own style of inking. I picked the right rib panel as my first tattoo because I thought it was the sexiest place for a female. In doing so I picked one of the most painful places as well to…[Read more]

Personally I’m not a fan. I like guys with tattoos on their backs, ribs, chest, and arms. I think it’s a skanky girlie thing to have a tattoo there, but that’s just my opinion. So I’m not bashing anyone so please don’t take offense.

I’m a little unfamiliar with those pictures… sorry. But ya, I’m glad the idea helped you. =) Once you get a sketch going I’d love to see.

Ya exactly. Celebrate your body while you can. (That does not mean before you’re ready…) I’m getting mine to accentuate what I feel is an already attractive part of my physique.

Haha got it. Nice. I love symbolism.

I’m drawing parts of mine. Then I’m going to let my artist arrange it how he sees fit.

I’m not a fan of Cash but here’s an idea for you:
Do it on your back but make conjunctions and adjectives (or less important words) smaller while the more important words are bigger. Tattoos with text like that look pretty neat. I don’t know German, but I can sing it pretty well! (I’m better at singing languages that are not my own!) I’m sure you…[Read more]
