Holy cow, Arni, you have no idea how much I appreciate your feedback. I am not about to rush into this process, and that’s why I’m on this board. However, I know that others’ feedback will vary to some degree.

Are you willing to give your thoughts on my third artist I’m looking at? http://exiletattoo.net/dannygallery.html I’d love to know…[Read more]

What style would you call this one?

I’m not a fan of the skull, but the artistry of this one is something like I’m thinking…I guess.

If I knew “precisely” how it is to look, I wouldn’t be in this situation. I really like aspects of each of these artists’ work. I have a very generic guideline I would give them, but I want them to use some of their creativity to make my idea come to life. Jessie’s work looks very comforting, natural and alive. Roman’s work looks rugged,…[Read more]

It’s the same thing as showing up to a job interview without any pants on. It’s not discrimination, it’s common sense. Learn the difference between the two then get back to me. Thanks.

Damn, I’m glad you enlightened me, enlightened all of us, on that, Spidey. We may have never discovered that on our own. You truly are a dolt.

No one is “discriminating” against anything. You guys are not being forced to get tattoos, so don’t act like a little kid when an employer doesn’t want someone inked up at their job. That is called personal responsibility. But I guess you all forgot about that and like to blame the world for all of your minor…[Read more]

C’mon. We’re up to 33 views, and no replies? I’m eager to know what you think.

Mostly bad tattooing, some bad luck. Competent artists rarely have it happen, whereas kitchen magicians rarely do without it 🙂

I think I’ll stick to casseroles and stir fry in the kitchen and let pros handle my ink.

What is the cause? Bad tattooing? Bad luck?

Tattoo neophyte in terms of tattoo verbage…what is “blowout”?

Pardon the interruption, but that’s a hell of a lot of cheese balls next to your computer. As for your chest piece, I have nothing…I was thrown off by the cheese balls.

A vast improvement. Definite upgrade. Good job!

Which show?

I don’t think I’d hire an artist who’s not an artist. I also didn’t much care for Vanilla Ice.

I researched the heck of schools tattoo policies. I used the search term “school district tattoo policy” and found a variety of results. For the most part, those districts with written policies state that innopropriate tattoos may not be displayed (drugs, alcohol, sexual overtone, etc.), but they don’t say that all tattoos cannot be worn. Other…[Read more]

get the other arm fully sleeved – simple solution 😀

Great idea, Al! I have to get the first one done first. I do like the way you think.

I decided that even though I don’t want to, I’m gonna shoot the superintendent an email to get his take on this. Sometimes it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission, but when dealing with something like this…better safe than sorry. If I had to wear long sleeves at parent conferences and meetings, no worries. I just don’t want to be…[Read more]

Since I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to conjure, is there anyway to get those points erased so I don’t start my journey here with 300 points in the hole?

I’ve been a member for maybe an hour??? I see that I’ve already got 2 red strikes losing 96 and 98 experience points. I’m puzzled, and would like to know how I’ve been blasted…seems unwelcoming.

I read through the five pages, but didn’t see the answer to this. Is getting waxed over a tattoo harmful in any way to the tat? I shave my upper arms over my current ink, and it always seems I get ingrown hairs and such, and that’s just not fun. Now I’m planning on extending to full sleeve, and I sure don’t want to shave the whole arm if I get…[Read more]

Here’s a weird follow-up. If you have one arm inked and you shave it, do you shave to other bare arm to match? Or do you have one hairy arm and one smooth arm?
