I wish I had the time this morning to reply to each and every intelligent post, but thank you. I am insecure. I’m not 30. I’m getting referrals and requests. And while I know visible tattoos would change some of it, it can’t change all of it, and surely, honesty, integrity, and hard-work still stands for something.

And, Sam, without railroad…[Read more]

Having your inner arm tattoo done isn’t going to hurt me one bit.

You have a long way to go, artistically and morally. Don’t take it too hard. Some of us are born human; the rest of us spend our whole lives trying to get there. I’m working on it, myself.

It’s sweet in meaning. I am sure some day when I have spawn, I’ll want its little feet or name or hand print tattooed on me, and it will seem just fascinating to me.

You sound like my mother, and I know you’re lying and have a favorite. 😉

I would say I really like my pink rose best. It’s not my biggest tattoo, but it’s the best done and the balance on my body as well as the coloring is excellent.

The outer layer of your skin has taken a beating. Does it look like chicken skin? Feel a little damp to the touch? Then chances are it’s normal. When we damage our skin (before the scabby stage) and jab at it with a foreign body (like a bug’s mouth or a needle) and it gets little tiny invisible pieces of crap, our skin tries to push it out by…[Read more]

Oddly, the tattoo shop I go to doesn’t let you bring anyone back. However, every artist/apprentice would come, watch, and chat when I had a large piece done, and by some of these folks, I’m sure I was considered “an old lady.” Nothing like being “approachable” to keep you from feeling alone when you’re getting leaves tattooed onto your mons de venus.

I prefer color. It’s more visually interesting than black and grey, and the point of tattoos is to look at them.

I like black and grey for some things, like horror theme tattoos or Halloween themes or Sak Yant style tattoos, but I think black and gray demands better art to be as visually commanding as its color counterpoints.

I usually ask the artist about their work and life. People love to talk about themselves, and it’s distracting.

Looks pretty cool!

Mild folliculitis. It’s pretty normal. Just treat it gently, follow Sam’s advice, and wear clean clothes and sleep on clean sheets.

Yep, straight pubic hair is only possessed by Asian and tribal people.

I wouldn’t have said all those vicious things about you if I knew you’d return.

Sorry in advance. 😉

Every shop I’ve ever been to has made a copy of my driver’s license. I don’t see how tracking him down could be that hard.

If you have almost no melanin in your skin (eg. you have very very white skin that can NEVER get a tan at all no matter how long you spend laying in the sun), and you keep it out of the sun then there is a chance it will stay white.

There is a considerable amount of white on the face of my peacock and it still looks…

If you keep the tattoo out of the sun and just use white as a little accent, it doesn’t hold up too bad. My first tattoo had white in it, and while it’s not as bright as it once was, it’s okay.

I would demand my money back. Your skin looks inflamed and the tattoo is awful.

Okay, but you’ll have to put $400 in my bank account first.

Are you asking?

Do you have a plausible explanation?

It’s an okay tattoo, but it boggles the mind. (If this is something really obvious, please excuse me. I live under a rock wearing ear buds.)

I can’t believe no one has asked – Why does the witch have guns?
