Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:31:13 +0000

I tried tattooing the bottom of a client’s foot once early in my career. He had alot of prior ink in various places from other artists and myself, alot of it was very large work. He was able to endure all of it fairly well even in painful areas. Except his feet. He was unable to withstand the pain working on the bottom of his foot more than 30…[Read more]

I’ve never seen any deity worshipping religion that wasn’t heavily founded through hatred, intolerance or a need for control by it’s writers. Besides, if that means I’ll go to hell so be…[Read more]

The only way I’d consider that a fair deal is if the shop was a very well established high volume, upper tier studio, where artists are making a living off the name of the studio, or the owner instead of themselves.

Figuring out how a tattoo may feel in a certain area is really quite simple. It’s comparable to being scratched by a cat. I don’t mean a Tiger, but just a scratch from cat claws. Unless you’ve led a completely sheltered life you’ve probably experienced an abrasion or two just about everywhere on your body. Tattoos feel just like another scratch.…[Read more]

Soldiering iron. You can change tip shapes and sizes to accomodate the lines or fills in the tattoo, removing the tattoo while leaving an identically shaped keloidal scar for rememberance.

JK of course. See a dermatologist. Or a psychologist.

Being careful not to list technique for the public there is much I cannot say. What I can do is give cautionary advice though. Be very careful how many times you choose to work the same area of skin, especially as often as you are or you’ll start to visibly scar. It’s there forever, slow down a bit and be very choosy.
