Hi, im nowhere new to the tattoo world with having 33 of them so far. I have them all across the front of my torso and while it did hurt pretty decently on the middle of my chest and right on the breastbone, i didnt think it was the worst or all that bad. i think on my lower sides and on the kidneys were the worst. as far as the bruising goes i…[Read more]

Ya as long as your not losing too much weight, more than 30-40lbs it shouldnt affect it.

Hey Shawn. Same as what Matt said, make sure you wash it everyday and keep it moist. Dont freak out about it. The tattoo will heal and create scabs the same color as the ink and peel those colors when they are ready too. Just try and keep in mind that you dont itch or scratch it when it becomes itchy. If the itchyness starts to drive you…[Read more]

Ya u will be ok. I always get really anxious when it comes down to my next appointment and my heart gets going and lump in my throat. Its just nerves whether it be nervous or excited (im always excited tho lol). But just relax. Even if u have a little cold it wont affect you getting the tattoo.

the color missing on the first time is somewhat normal during healing, but twice is a little more odd however it can still happen. If it is on any scar tissue then it may be more prone to that. Let it heal and see what happens. If it is still missing ink the artist should still touch it up, but this time he may go over it better to make sure…[Read more]

Thats what i always do. For example, the dagger on my side. I printed out about 3 or 4 different…[Read more]

Ya dont worry about it. the arm is really not painful at all. the pain is like a burning sensation which isnt all that bad. the closer to the bones u are the more it will hurt, like your elbow. Even still ive got every inch of my arm covered and it wasnt that bad at all. Now my ribs and stomach were a different story, haha. Good luck on your…[Read more]

Hey Oddone. Just the same as Sherav is saying. It all depends on the person as to what the pain will be like. I can tell you that down around my hips and kidneys sucked bad. It was all i could do to stay still. But then up towards my shoulder blade seemed like nothing at all to me. 30hrs is a lonnng time for getting inked and like i was…[Read more]

The idea of the eagle sounds great in my opinion, however just like what everyone else is saying i wouldnt get the initials. As for you first tatto, you might want to reconsider the size and/or get something else small somewhere else just to get a feel for it. You dont want to start a huge peice for that and halfway thru it regret starting it.…[Read more]

Its been 9yrs since i got my first one.
