Mathew you must be really dedicated to get up in the night and moisturise your tattoo lol, bugger that hehe i loooovvve my sleep:D

Now if you’re still concerned after its healed properly i would go back to the artist and show them, ( not necessarily get THEM to do it again ) but just have a chat. I always do my touchups for free if needed, not…[Read more]

upper arms, legs, inner arms, if you wear long sleeves and pants. foot ouuuuch lol

sweet….i think the eye looks fine as it is, maybe just a bit of red shading above it to bring it out a bit would be all.

i wouldnt worry to much about it, mine peel just like sunburn, also different parts of the body heal in different ways, id only be concerned if the inks actually falling out, in which case go back to the artist and show them.

How sweet, i was also raised by my great aunt and uncle sort of like grandparents, here’s what i did, i was closer to my uncle than my aunt and sitll miss him and its been 10 years

I put his date of birth and death on each side after i hunted down a family member that knew what year he was born. These sort of tattoos are very special, i only did…[Read more]

I had scars on wrists and arms they were pretty nasty and ive covered them sweet. Ive tattooed palms also, but have advised against it, outlaw is right about the fading. I redo once for free then theyre on thier own with it. Same goes for fingers. And inner wrists do hurt, i will not lie lol

Hopefully grandma will just kick the bucket and there’s the problemo solved:D

Old people just do that lol, it happens here too

Very nice and well done for choosing a good artist for your first tattoo

Okay my 2 peso’s lol. For a first go without any practice i think you have done extremely well.

Now…. Do an online course on cross contamination, BBP”s etc, research everything you can, DO NOT TATTOO ANYONE!!!!!!! If you want to tattoo yourself thats your perogative. You are lucky you havent been jumped on in this forum also.

I am a self…[Read more]

Mathew you are just a wealth of information, i really dont think others are needed on the forum lol;)

OK stop right there!!!! And do your research find a reputable artist, just because he’s shown you his autoclave means didly squat! Have you seen any of his artwork, finished pieces on other people etc?? As for numbing cream i dont use it so i cant comment. People just generally suck it up or pass out LMAO:D

Maybe you should open your mind and shut your mouth

Now that is a good statement:D

ok went back 2 and half hours, she shouldve had it bloody finished easily in that time frame.:mad: Oh and never pay up front for the whole deal, unless you know the artist very well, i have my clients pay for what ive done at the time, then they come back and pay after the next session, ive been offered the lot up front, but hey i ccould get hit…[Read more]

The pics arent the best, but yes its been definately overworked by the look of that. How long did it take? You’ve probably said, but i cant be bothered reading through all the back posts. If it was 3 hours then thats bloody ridiculous.

hmmm, i dont even know why i read this thread:confused: let alone comment. Tattoos are personal preference, it doesnt matter what you get as long as you’re getting it for yourself and because you really want it. I’d like to know how chinese symbols are gay????????????? Odd statement i must say.

Oh what a bunch of wanks!!!!! I do everything i can to keep my clients happy, i doubt they will last very long. Sounds to me like theres a few blowouts in the lining. I’d really like to see a pic of it.

We’re just up the coast in little old Waihi. Way smaller than Gisborne lol

I’ll be honest and say that I’m pretty unfamiliar with New Zealand lol…obviously, tattooing must be at least somewhat prevalent there if you are able to make a living at it…excuse my ignorance, is there a large tattooing base in new zealand?
