Just fill in the triangle between each ball and the shaft so the whole thing is “V” shaped. Make sure the new shapes intersect and blend with the old ones and it won’t look like that anymore.

replied to the topic Lightning! in the forum Tattoo Questions and Experiences 13 years, 3 months ago
The first thing you’ve got to realize is that the only reason the lightning in the pic looks so bright is because of its dark background. You can’t do white ink against skin tone, you’ll barely be able to see it. If you reverse it out and do black lightning it will look like a poorly done tree branch. You could shade dark around it, fading into…[Read more]

Is it nice and crisp looking or all messed up. If it looks good, you could just start rubbing vitamin E oil or emu oil into it to break down the scar tissue.

replied to the topic Aftercare Questions…. in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 3 months ago
Oil based stuff (neosporin, triple antibiotic, A&D, aquaphor, vaselin) all work fine. People screw it up by putting too much on. You really don’t need anything mediated, your body will heal a tattoo just fine with or without it. The reason for ointment is a lot more utilitarian.
1. It keeps the skin pliable so it doesn’t dry out and crack,…[Read more]

I’m sorry to hear that. That’s a great memorial. Way better than the standard “R.I.P.” w/dates and a cross and a banner.

Looks awesome man! Nice and solid. As long as you aren’t hittin’ it so hard that it heals rough and you loose that pretty ink. You know how I avoid wobbly single pass lines? I try to never do them. I always sculptures the lines out, even if It’s only a hair thicker than the single pass.

Are those light gray wash lines for the feathers? That’ll be a nice soft look when she’s done.

Make sure you eat and get your blood suger up before you get tattooed. Most of the pass-outs I’ve seen its because they tried it on an empty stomach. Or a little fan.

The rose definetly has the most artistic value. The lettering looks very clean. Nice. The owl I think needs more darks, just in the deepest corners so it stays bright. The lotus looks ok, but its not too smooth. If you were building a portfolio, i’d include everything but the lotus.

It’s Miami links fault for shocking the “story behind each tattoo”. People watch to much tv. It’ll rot yer brain.

Yeah, getting that tattoo done right should be priority number one, even if you need to save a little fund to the side that your boyfriend doesn’t know about.

replied to the topic Will a tattoo in the palm/flat of the hand wear off after 3-4 years? in the forum Inked Skin 13 years, 3 months ago
If you question is “is this a way for me to get a temporary tattoo that I will have no consequences from in the future?” Then, no. You will always have some, if not the majority of the ink under your skin and more than anything it will blur and fuzz out and look like poop.

Fuck yeah, down with the man. With a tattoo like that it looks like you won’t be anonymous anymore.

Welcome. Tell your artist you need another color session. Looks a little spotty. Other than that it looks good.
