Well…
If you go to a reputable artist with a decent portfolio: it shouldn’t happen.

First off; there are SOME legal positives. If your artist tattooed something that you specifically DID NOT ask for: he may be required to cover removal/cover-up costs.

But…
If you just ended up with shitty work…
I would guess your only options would be…[Read more]

I love the work!

But…
I hate slash with a passion.

lolol.
Nice.

Congrats on the new ink.

Well, you’d have to find a talented artist that could get the placement completely straight.

And…
Smaller fonts are cool for a few years…
But really; the ink will bleed. It disperses/separates throughout time and you’d be looking at a lot of black smudges on your back after some time has passed.

Are you looking for ideas?

You know…I personally find brainstorming with my artist to be the best way to get inspiration.
Maybe you could try that?

But I’m sure the other members here will be happy to share their ideas…
I’m simply not a very creative person!

YOU DID IT!!!
Cool cool cool.
I like it, actually. Simple design…looks nice.

How’d ya tolerate the pain?
Are you craving more yet?
Haha.

Like you do a waiter, is what I heard once…so 15-20%

I think I went a bit overboard…
$600 piece… 860
$100 piece… 150

But my artist loves me =]
I’m pretty sure I could go in; ask for ink, and get it done with no up-front cost if I really insisted on it.

Wow.

Impressive ink!

Congratulations.

What are the details??
Artist?
Cost?
Time?

I think the only thing that tattoos prevent you from doing is donating blood.
You can’t donate for a year after getting ink.

With an asymmetrical design…
I would personally go with your original placement idea.

But $100-200 for sure.

BUT!!!!
Remember to tip your artist handsomely…
If you decide to return to the shop, he/she will probably remember your generosity.

Why are you such a fucking douche-bag all the time?
Insisting upon introductions…when nobody gives a shit.
Referring to google as though you have anything better to do than reply. I mean really, this is a forum about TATTOOS. We answer questions.
Crying about everyone’s preferences for art…
And acting as though you’re an English professor…[Read more]

KH is an art major. I’m sure you can trust his work.

Around $100.
I actually like your idea for the placement.

You didn’t ask…
But I’d assume it’ll take around 20 minutes to finish.

Make sure you go to a reputable shop with a decent portfolio.
And be SURE to ask to see their autoclave.
If you get any bad vibes; try somewhere else.

I’m sure you’ll have a great experience.
Congratulations on the…[Read more]

The size matters for placement.

Larger pieces look good anywhere, but smaller ones sometimes don’t.

I agree with the above post; the upper shoulder.

Not to cut you down, but if you are asking us if you would regret it…you probably will.

But I do promise you:
The pain will be LESS than what you are thinking it will be.
Probably a lot less.

Fuck me…
I thought you said “quotes” rather than “notes.”

This seems to be a recurring problem in the mornings.
I work graveyards…so I’m completely delirious at this point.

My apologies.

Yes, it’s quite easily recognizable as a heart with headphones on, and I actually like that concept. The white border around the blue is a definite must. I fear the size though… how small are you going to go? The white might just disappear in a few years.

Personally I’m more fond of the larger/more insulated headphones…[Read more]

To further reiterate the previous statement…
Any major sweating during the healing process isn’t good on your ink.

I’d take it easy for two or three weeks.
Remember:
Only a few weeks of special care and you’ll have a piece of art that will last you a lifetime.

From what I’ve noticed, there really aren’t many “modified” people here…other than tattoos and a few piercings.

The only place I can think of off the top of my head would be the BMEzine.
Submit a decent picture of some mod you have on your body and they’ll give you some basic access to their site.

I think they’d probably be more suited to…[Read more]

I think behind the shoulder would be nice.

What size are you thinking, though?
