Looks like 3-4hrs, depending on the artist.

A full forearm would take much longer. Maybe 7-9 hours, maybe more, maybe less? You’d really have to get a quote from your artist to be sure.

You could do it in several sessions, if that’s what you wanted. Sometimes that can be easier financially since you’re spreading the payments out. But it’s really…[Read more]

I want an owl on perched on my left hip bone, going up to my ribs.

I want a wolf backpiece, details to be determined.

On my left calf, I want some sort of reverse tree to the one I currently have on my other calf.

I’m thinking of some sort of ghost carousel horse as well, but not quite sure where to put it.

I want some sort of castle scene…[Read more]

They look like pictures of eyes with a digital image pasted on top of. They have no patient photos or really any information at all. Can I say hoax?

Welcome! What are your idea(s) for your tattoo? Have any other body mods? Hope you have fun with us!

well then you must describe the tat

Looks good. I think it could use a little bit more color to tie in the cherry blossoms but I’m not sure what. I just sat for my first tattoo a couple weeks back. Thinking back, I can’t believe I sat for all 6.5 hours of it. I had two breaks but I was pretty raw when he went back in for the last half hour of highlights but managed to cross the…[Read more]

That is a heartwrenching stroy, I’m so sorry. That is such a perfect tribute to her. I adore it.

Haha, not miserable at all. Just sarcastic :p

Haha Thanks! The eye one is closest to what I’ve been thinking. I found this one that I like but instead of butterflies, I’d do some kind of bird. Maybe doves or hummingbirds, something along those lines.

Haha, that might be a little too cheery :p

I know its hard to imagine. An example of a bright thing with dark twist could be a cherry blossom skeletree. Bright and dark at the same time. Something along those lines-but not that. Get what I’m saying?

Haha :p I don’t want it to be dark, such as my other one is, but I don’t want it to be cheery & bright, so not quite the exact opposite. I know I’m confusing 🙂

Call me stupid, but I didn’t quite get that, Bluey. Maybe I was reading it wrong?

Defiance, I’ve thought of the tree of life, but i don’t think it’s what I’d want. I’ve thought about children as it’s kind of the obvious way to go but I don’t really like the idea of having children in the tat since I’m really not a ‘kid person.’ I still want the…[Read more]

With mine, I found actually watching him work helped. I think my mind like disregarded that it was my leg and that was what was causing the pain. It always hurt less if I was watching the machine rather than having my eyes somewhere else. I’m curious if that helps with other people.

If that’s the case, speak directly with your tattoo artist and they will tell you what sizes will work with the placement and how small you can go. Don’t go too small or the phrase will become garbled in a matter of years.

Could it be the computers people use to access the site? Mine works fine like 95% of the time.

I can certainly try to elaborate for buttwheat but not put any words in his mouth. 🙂 Most serious tattoo enthusiasts are not too interested in text tattoos when there is no art involved. It is one thing to have a couple words within a tattoo but to just have text is just an ungodly waste of canvas when you could have mindblowing art there. Most…[Read more]

Welcome. Would love to see some of your art. 🙂

Thanks for the compliments everybody! I’m so stoked, trying to think of what I’m going to get on the other calf as a reverse of this one. 🙂

That’s fucking amazing. Stellar piece. 🙂

Welcome!! 🙂
