I get a chuckle when little kids stare at my tattoos and it makes their parents uneasy. I usually smile or wink, and let them know it’s okeh.

I bet you could tell some stories.

I tend to be covered up mostly, but I do get the ‘I didn’t expected you to have a tattoo’ from friends of friends, at which point I show them two…[Read more]

Amazing piece. The light in it blows me away – it is almost luminous.

I keep coming back to this thread just to look at the pictures of it again and again.

Thanks, I can’t stop looking at it myself 😉

What other forum? is there another one I can poison with my existence?

Big Tattoo Planet

Awesome work! Great colors!

I recently switched to “Redemption”. It’s a non-petroleum lubricant no doubt similar to what you use. It is used during tattoo process, then I dry wrap too.

Yeah I think it probably is, Jeff uses it during the tattoo process too.

I’ve never heard of Axe products i will have to look for them.

I’ve tried

Right guard
Dove
Nivea
Lynx
Sure for men

I think Axe is the american version of lynx.

I prefare to scab than to me all sticky, if you scab it’s more likely to heal better because it’s got a hard protected layer over the tattoo.

That’s the irratating part of bepanthen, very sticky and quite viscous. But I found the wild rose herb stuff to be much less sticky. It doesn’t soak into your skin to leave it dry but it…[Read more]

not for me i dry heal.

Do you not find that you scab a fair bit by dry healing? I did dry heal at beginning with my tattoos but found it more irratating. I think this stuff could be quite good when used lightly as a moisturiser, I think its pretty much coconut oil with a few smellies. Although I’d like to say I have no prior…[Read more]

obviously very nice work you only have to say the name to know it’s amazing. Very nice piece take care of it.

Thanks I will be taking very good cae of this one ;). Seeing as we are on the subject I would recommend the wild rose herb products, the ink balm in particular. I usually heal with bepanthen but will be using the ink…[Read more]

I prefer chest on women 🙂

HOT!

I’ve seen this in person and have to say it’s the best chest piece I’ve seen on a woman. In fact I think it might be one of my favourite chest pieces ever.

What he said.

Thank you.

How are things working out?
You have a nice collection of tattoos.

Thank you.

In terms of my camcorder I’ve gone with a JVC dual SD slot so that I can get plenty of footage. I’ve got my flights and stuff booked, although the appointment is not untill the middle/end of next month. I’ll post up a thread when I get back with…[Read more]

I travel loads for my work, just recently did an 8000 mile trip for work. I did think about filming it but then I thought no because it would really be pretty boring for others to watch my holiday lol

If your a good editor and always talk while your filming otherwise it will be super boring. Edit it to quite short with…

My hand piece got recorded by a guy on he’s uni project. Shame he picked a shite song.

Yeah this is the kind of thing I was looking for, although I would maybe have a few shots of the studio and maybe a small amount of travelling clips. With a total time of about 2.30 to 3 mins,…[Read more]

Have you already asked the artist about filming the sessions?

They may be OK with a few minutes on film, but who wants to be filmed at their job for two days? That is a long time to watch your Ps and Qs – or have anything thoughtlessly said or done preserved forever, and in someone else’s hands.

Also some people are…

Do you have plans on someone filming it or are you throwing it on a tripod? have you every had a tattoo before or sat for a long session?

I’m going on my own, so to have someone film it is out of the question. I’m in the process of looking at a few tripods, possibly a kind of clamp one if that makes sense. But I reckon a…[Read more]

Maybe join a camcorder forum for that answer.

I have searched a few camcorder forums, thanks. I thought there may be a few on here that have captured footage of long sessions. With maybe some pointers for things to look for that are related to capturing tattooing for that length of time.

Welcome to the forum!

Novel idea. I would be selective in filming, or at least plan on some heavy editing. For me personally watching 16 hours would be as painful as getting the tattoo.

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah it would be heavily edited, I doubt I would even want to watch the whole thing in realtime myself. It would…[Read more]
