Interesting thread, my next tattoo is going on my face, around my temple area actually. But i own a tattoo studio and tattooings my job, and always will be, Now as for the acne, im not sure about all that but matthew has covered it pretty well, i used to get bad cases of eczema ( scuse my bad spelling :)) on my inner elbows whenever i was under…[Read more]

great colours and blending, nice piece

i have nearly one full sleeve and there’s no particular theme, they’re designs i like, but all of it blends in well together.

Wait until after the festival or keep it covered with clothing

a photo would be good, and also wait till it fully heals.

mwahahahahaha:D

everyone’s pain thresholds are different, ive had people who’ve said it was excruciating, to people who have said it tickles, to people who have actually gone to sleep on my table, if it were that bad no one would be getting tattoos. Once its done all you’ll have is a feeling like mild sunburn.

I don’t know Matthew man, the whole phoenix and dove thing are starting to go the way of the kanji and the koi. In my Methods and Concepts class, which is about 24 strong, there’s more tattooed bodies than not. Among them I count three doves, two phoenixs, five koi, and enough Kanji to make me think I may be able to read…[Read more]

Thats really nice

I’d wait a wee while and then have another think about it. When things seem a bit more managable, and you dont feel so raw. Tattoos are for life, i wouldnt like a reminder for the rest of my life of something heartbreaking.

I don’t see how an online course could even compare to learning from someone and watching someone who has been in the business for 15+ years. My definition of scratcher, and I may be completely off the mark here (wouldn’t surprise me if i was) is someone doing tattoos who is unlicensed. This forum doesn’t allow discussion on…[Read more]
