Personally, I’m a pale guy now. I used to have a light tan, but since I started getting tattooed, I don’t like to keep my tattoos in the sun, and that’s with heaps of strong sunscreen on. It’s just starting to get to the hot weather where I live, the days will soon be averaging 38 degrees celsius, and i’ll be wearing long sleeve shirts all…[Read more]

The guy I’m going to opened up his shop a few months ago, and you could almost get a walk-in tattoo, very small waiting list. When I make my next 4 hr sitting, I’d probably be looking at late December, early January if not later. Seems so much longer when you’re really excited to get more work done.
Our currency converts to nearly $100 American an…[Read more]

Something that big and bright is bound to look great as a tattoo, and 100 acre woods would work great as a theme.
To do the big montage, you’d probably need to use a big canvas too – back maybe?
And wow, that’s a big price to ask for tattooing. The guy I go to is $440 for four hours. I was in the chair for nearly five on monday, and he still only…[Read more]

Probably something by No Job For A Cowboy…

Haha looks good man! You’ll be gettin’ some strange looks from folks walking down the street!

Haha what’s the reason for that tattoo, and don’t say kids ‘cos I know you don’t have any 😀

The pics are workin now, they’re done very neatly 🙂

Welcome to the family, good luck with the apprenticeship, don’t be tempted to learn by the backyard scratchers 🙂

Glad to hear that, hope it’s all smooth sailing from here on in

Old school got my vote, but I like it with that new school brightness. Kinda old school with a twist 🙂

That’s off my camera on my phone, so it doesn’t do it justice at all. The flames go round the back and there’s a cobweb on my elbow, and that’s all we could fit in the 4-5 hour session. Next session will be finish off the outline from the elbow to the shoulder.

There’s a pro-artist section, for people who have sent the administrator (Turbosatan) a copy of their shops licence and spore test(?). I think that’s what they require.
There’s two tattooists who are moderators, and a few more who are regular posters.

I shaved it myself, I was extremely careful and used a good quality razor, all went well 🙂

Waxing would be an interesting idea, that way you wouldn’t get all the new hair coming through a healing tattoo so quickly.

Has anyone had any experience with an e-pen or permanent hair removal laser?

Good stuff, not my cuppa tea, but I appreciate good tattooing. Any plans for colour or keeing it black/grey?

Can’t really tell what they are from the one picture that worked.
A sacred heart and an ‘X)’?

I started on a flame sleeve today, i’ve gone with the old school look – cobweb on the elbow, flames, and a big skull. It’s in colour though. Some things i’ve thought of for adding – playing cards (could have the cards spell out year of birth), tumbling dice, pin-up girls, skulls, spiders and webs, pool balls.
Hope that gives some inspiration.

I thought you meant you had a tongue tattoo then 😮
Good to have you here 🙂

That’s true, i’ve wanted a Harley since I was 12 when my uncle took me for a ride on his Softail Deuce. He sold it a few years later (said he’d take 20 dollars off the price if I wanted to buy it :rolleyes:). I got my bike licence almost as soon as I was legal, didn’t end up getting a car licence until about 18 months later. I’ve only had the one…[Read more]

They look fine to me. So, haven’t visited Brazil lately? :p

I’d love to try a product specifically designed for tattoo aftercare, I still use Bepanthen, but it’s greasy and gives me pimples over where i’ve been tattooed. I’ll hunt around Monday and see if I can find any in a shop.
