Well, I’m doing a pretty big piece on my back these days. It goes from a bit below where my brastraps usually start, up to my shoulder. I’m not walking around bra-less :p
However, I’ve mainly just stuck to halterneck-bras, and I keep them a bit loose. The halterneck keeps the bra in place, so you don’t need to have it too…[Read more]

Hey jacksonsoo,

thanks man! think i was a bit paranoid those scabs would ruin the tattoo, but all’s well, they fell off and tat looks all good!, just had another 4 hours added, just gotta make sure to clean and moisturise more this time round 🙂

You’re doing fine don’t worry. I was once paranoid like yourself when…[Read more]

Welcome!

I’m pretty new myself, and i realised toomanynotenough is extremely active around here!

Your tattoo looks kinda cool. But yeah it’s quite difficult to see much from these pictures.

would suggest you go back to your artist if you’re worried.

Hi Ambient,

this definitely looks okay to me. You should be feeling slightly itchy too, it’s perfectly fine.

Hey there.

I would love to help you with your next tattoo design but it seems hard because you didn’t say what type of tattoo you like or whichever location you’re going to have it at.

Kindly let us know more.

Well, i would put it at one month.

Provided you clean it properly, observe proper tattoo aftercare and wear loose clothing and all.

You defiinitely sound new and i do not recommend you going for a tattoo without first finding out what it entails. Basically prior to tattoo you have to think of your designs, placement of your tattoo etc. Then doing the actually inking is another thing. You have to find out the cost of your local tattoo parlour, anasethetics and stuff. You want a…[Read more]

From a tattoo artist’s point of view, you DEFINITELY do not want to have something rubbing against your freshly inked skin, it would hurt, it may scab, scar, and all things nasty. Abrasion must definitely be avoided so you would have to go strapless for sometime.

Hey, i don’t think that’s a concern for you since you do not have severe back acne. If you are prone to having back acne though, you might want to take note that abrasion and irritation would definitely cause more of it.

You may want to consult your dermatologist for his opinion first before doing anything.
Alternatively, you can just have your…[Read more]

Yep – if you have questions or comments for me, feel free to drop them here. Some people have critical comments, others have questions, but I’m happy to receive them and learn from them nonetheless.

What i was trying to suggest was having a meaning for your first tattoo, if say you got no clue.
Of course personally i do have some tattoos that sim…[Read more]

Wow Pox, i gotta say that your comment was interesting. How then does the community of tattoo artists react to that, i wonder?

Well anyway maybe i used the wrong word. I shouldn’t say scared. I mean, if i’m gonna let you poke me with needles, i gotta have to make sure you’re certified! There’s no going around this.

What i really meant was ,…[Read more]

Wow, are you guys serious? This is something new for me. I didn’t know that in some places there are no formal tattoo artists. Funny, does that mean the industry is not popular there or anything (like goes again religion etc)? . Anyway, in Singapore approved tattoo artists must definitely have the proper certifications and must display them up…[Read more]
