So you’re honestly claiming that it’s easier to know what 2 12/16″ means, than what 70mm means?

Yup! Guess I’m just an old American redneck!

Fuck the metric system these numbers dont mean anything to me.;)

Buttwheat, I feel the same way but it seems inevitable that we’re headed that way! I work at a steel fabrication company and when I see drawings sent from our customers with metric dimensions, I hate it. Give me something I can work with! Well, okay, it’s…[Read more]

I really like that tattoo. What is that thing in the middle? I think the solid look of it takes away from the other detail of the tattoo. The detail does seem very nicely done. Congrats on the tattoo.

I really like the new one. Bad ass ink dude.

Welcome to the forums! I’m just curious, being 18 years old, what do your folks think of the ink?

That is the biggest load of bullshit I have seen all week, and I’ve been out in the country.

LOL! Tattoo is looking good. Congrats!

Hi
Whilst you can get a touch up after 2 weeks it is often better to try and wait 4-6 weeks so the skin beneath is totally healed and you are not overworking the piece.

What this says ^. I have a solid black cross that looked this way after being filled in and I couldn’t wait to get it retouched. The artist could have done…[Read more]

It’s the new nice buttwheat…Don’t press your ******* luck.

LOL, I like the new buttwheat! I noticed you changed your avatar. Is that a photo of you before your morning cup of coffee and visit to the forums?

I like it. Don’t get it covered.

Also, what Reef said…..

Wow, it did heal up well. I am happy for you as it looks great.

LOL, how do you feel this would look on the back of the calf? I really want one there. I plan on visiting the artist for some suggestions if he wants to mix it up a bit.

Good question, Reef. I’ve always been told I have nice sized calf muscles from my running.

Fair enough. I hope I won’t be having to add another, but if it happens, I’ll have to come up with a new tattoo. I really want this one on my right calf.

Oh gosh….don’t jinx me, Arni! I hope not but I guess stranger things have happened.

That was a very nice looking tattoo to start with. I hate you had this bad experience with it.

I like tattoos that have no stories behind them except I got this tattoo because I thought it was a cool design.;)

Buttwheat, when you visit a tattoo studio, these must be the steps you follow:

1) Find a page of “cool” flash
2) Put on your blindfold
3) Place your pointer finger on the page of “cool” flash
4) Move it…[Read more]

I don’t think you could ask for a better transfer. Looks good and congrats.

Welcome to the forums! We’d love to see some pics of your ink.

I agree, extend the wings and maybe add something to it. Maybe some colored flowers or vines or something. I don’t know. Other than that, good luck whatever road you choose.
