There is no way a piercing can heal in a week. I get cat scratches at work that take a week to heal. That being said, the scabbing is part of the healing. What are you using to clean it? What type of jewelry is in it? Is the scabbing blood or is it yellow or clear? Use 1/8tsp of non-iodized sea salt mixed with 200ml of boiled water (let it cool of…[Read more]

Thanks everybody, I definitely think I’ll go to him for sure now. I’ve met him a couple times and he also seems real laidback and nice so I think it’ll work out

Thanks you guys. I really appreciate it. I just want to make sure I’m not the only one who thinks he’s good!

I’m personally not a nose piercing fan because they have gotten way to common place and popular in the last several years. Either a stud or ring would look fine on you but maybe try something a bit more unique or at least a bit less popular. Maybe a double nose ring or septum, possibly an eyebrow depending on what you think of alternate piercings.…[Read more]

Thanks guys! It’s hard but like I said, I’ve got some of his dogs and he even introduced me to my love of dogs so he is directly linked with my career path. Thanks again but I’m definitely not amazing, just a bit tougher than the average chick these days 😉

That’s fine with me, Dave. And it was some fucked up gun accident/russian roulette thing or so his wife claims. I have my suspicions since it was just the two of em and there’s no evidence. The two of em had been having some problems right before he died. The police wanted to rule it a suicide but it definitely wasn’t. it was either a gun…[Read more]

well religion is fucked up in itself so it definitely shouldn’t separate family. That really sucks. My brother was in Iraq for like 2-3 yrs and then he came out of the marines and it was like “phew, we’re out of the woods now” and then boom, nope i guess not. I get what its like having him around and alive but not getting to be with them at all…[Read more]

No worries. Even to me it seems unreal but I know I want it, no matter how long it takes. Right is a good word for it. You need the idea perfected and to have a great tattoo artist.

It was hard losing him the way we did especially being like 13 or 14 at the time but I’ve got some of his dogs that remind me of him every time i see them and life goes on…

Doja, It will take some time but I’ve been trying to come up with a memorial tattoo idea since my brother died. I want something unique and personal and this tattoo ties in so many ideas. Thanks so much Dave,its good to know that i have a real artist supporting my idea. i’ll keep that in mind and FYI not to be rude but Iggy is my brother who died,…[Read more]

I completely agree that it is dark but thats okay with me and as I want to expand it upwards, it’ll be like heaven and get lighter. Because the quote is looking towards the night sky it has to be dark to a certain point but I like darker things especially with the counter balance of heaven. I’m not sure what’ll be up in heaven, I’m contemplating a…[Read more]

Dave, no problem. I’ll be uploading more tonight hopefully as well. Thanks for the welcoming everybody! And I do intend on starting smaller but I haven’t exactly decided what or where yet so this was the only idea I really knew for certain.

Oh definitely, this will be an ongoing tattoo so it will need to be perfect. But thanks sooooooo much for your ideas!!

That’s a really good idea, Dan. I was thinking along those line as well. ONe idea I had was an actual star shining light on the girl and/or having her raptured but I wasn’t sure. It would definitely need a good artist. Here’s a question for you though. Color or black & grey. I’m thinking black & grey but maybe some hints of color in the stars or…[Read more]

Thank you! Your pawprint idea sounds great. I know at some point I’ll get a pawprint/s on me at some point as well. And thank you. I was also thinking of getting a portrait of my older brother above the sky and then my dogs as they pass because he is the one who discovered my love of dogs so it is a tribute to mix them together. I was also…[Read more]

I just uploaded a picture of my piercings. I’ll be getting more of those soon. I have several ideas for tattoos. I was gonna go for a quote from a song as a tribute to my brother who passed away 4 years ago this September. But I decided I’d make it more personal and put the quotes into art. The quote is “The stars in the night, they lend me their…[Read more]
