5 hours for that is real fast, it looks awesome too, not rushed at all!

Did you take much effort to stay out of the sun with your tatts?

I have some friends who will even go to the beach wearing a long sleeve t-shirt to protect their ink

Yep, that’s like me 🙂

I only wear short sleeve shirts at night!

Hey Kerry, yay for more Aussies 🙂

I can’t really tell how swollen it is, but it’s pretty normal for a tattoo to swell when you get it.
2 weeks after seems too long though, it can’t hurt to visit the doc.

Hope the new year brings plenty of interesting pieces to do Outlaw, and a minimal amount of tribal 🙂

I agree with the hours, you need a bit of time to get started. 1 1/2 hours won’t do it.
Me and my artist do 4 hour sittings, the maximum he’ll do at a time.
Anything less just isn’t enough time. On my sleeve, we only got wrist to elbow outlined and a bit of colour in 4 hours, when we’d planned to get the whole arm outlined. Session #2 is in a few…[Read more]

I am, in fact, a little girlie. Kinda thought the angry guy thing might hint towards that, hahaha.

Just realised what you meant by that then 🙂

Welcome, you didn’t mention if you’re a dude or chick though haha.

Welcome, that’s 3 Aussies in 2 days now 🙂

I’ve only heard of the one place, 3 branches of it in Aus, the nearest being 2 and a half hours away. If I can remember properly, I think a labret/eyebrow (that sort of piercing) ranges from $70-$100, not bad money there.

To get them done? Shit. I’m moving down if that’s what I’ll be making.

Get an education loan. I would put a winking smiley, but I still hate smileys.

No no no, the day course for learning to do lobes is $200.
I think some of the places where I live charge $50 a lobe though, not cheap anyway!

Myyyy bad. I didn’t catch that was why. Apprenticeships can be really expensive too though, three grand is what I tend to hear. If you really want to commit, it might be interesting to make a international thing of it and go to Europe / North America for one.

It’s $200 here just for the earlobes haha.
Traveling would…[Read more]

Take the apprenticeship. Yes, they may be harder but there is so much more worth in taking the years it does to learn proper technique. Anyone can shove a needle through anyone; but if you have a true passion there’s more glory to learning the art. Besides, do you really think a two week course is going to prepare you…[Read more]

Looks awesome, I love the voodoo doll especially. You’re a champ for sitting for 9 hours straight!

Nice ideas, I’ve got a yin-yang myself, and am very familiar with the full quote you mentioned there. I’m a heavy believer in karma.

Sorry mate, you’re not going to get a welcome reception around here 🙁
