Honestly I can’t be mad at what you said outlaw, it’s something I deserved, and cant go back to change it. So yeah like I said I knew there would be some mad people/flaming. I 100% agree with you. I don’t really know what to say… I honestly sat on this idea for a little over half a year and thought I was ready, I guess not.

Well the shop is pretty far from me, and its hard to get around with my car in the snow. And it doesnt help that Im really excited to get this piece done.

Thanks for the replies. What Ill probably end up discussing with him is just tipping him more the second sitting, when everythings done, Im sure he’ll be fine with that.

I just have one more question for you guys. My appointment is scheduled for this thursday, but I just found out it suppose to snow pretty hard that day, making it difficult for…[Read more]

Yeah I actually called the shop today while I was running to a couple stores, and the guy I talked to, told me all the artists recommend aquaphor, then lubriderm unscented lotion. He didn’t mention any soap, but while I was picking the lubriderm up, I got some dove unscented bar soap.

Yeah, even if the scripture is too long, I’ll try to shorten it, or find another one she likes.

The reason Im doing it in black and grey is because I have darker skin(I’m black), and colors probably wouldn’t show up as well. Actually, I’m somewhat light for being black, but I guess it’s something I’d have to talk to the artist about.

Oh boy back to square one, trying to figure out a new tattoo design haha. Actually maybe not, the main reason I chose a cross is because without my mom I would have never found god, and finding god has made a huge impact in my life. So that plus the fact that my mom is the number one person in my life. I just don’t really know how to tie those two…[Read more]

I’m sorry, when I said a dedication, I meant my mother is still living. This is just a dedication to show what she means to me. Good ideas though, and yes I will be going black and gray

You know, Im not too sure what I was looking for. I guess just a solid magazine with a little of everything. I will probably go get an issue of Skin and Ink. Thanks for the reply.

Very true, I guess Ill just think about it. I do have a couple more months before I get it. But so far Im really liking the idea of having the roses inside the cross outline.

I also like the idea of having the roses just kind of fill up the space underneath the cross and initials. That way Id have somewhat of a complete image/scene, with the…[Read more]

I just meant I don’t know how the rays and clouds would go if the roses were within the whole cross. I think it would make more sense if there were only a couple roses either growing on the cross or somewhere outside of the cross, like you said. But I like the idea of the roses within the cross a little more right now because it seems more…[Read more]

Any type of script would look nice. Kind of depends if you want it to look fancy or bold, whenever you find a shop to go to, talk to an artist and they should have some good ideas.

From what I’ve heard a lot of artists would rather do the script/font themselves. I’m also looking to get my first tattoo, and it has letters in it. I brought the…[Read more]

Yea I really like the idea of having the roses within the cross, I just don’t know if it would go well with the rays and clouds. And I like the idea of having the roses on each side of the cross. I just really don’t know, and I don’t want to ask the artist to draw a bunch of pictures so I can figure out which one I like the most.

Are yousaying the roses should be just under the cross, and above the initials?

That would be great if you could draw it up, thanks.

I’m not sure who drew the cross, I just found it online. When I was in the shop a couple weeks ago, the artist showed me a few different types and told me to check some out on my own, and thats the one I decided…[Read more]

Yeah thats what I meant when I said have the roses inside the outline of the cross. I really like the idea of having the letters inside the roses on the side.

I will talk to the artist, but since I’m not getting the tattoo for a couple months I don’t think he’ll draw it just yet.
