There will always be someone who doesn’t like your choice. My mother hates all of mine so whatever. No one here is really going to advocate an entire back piece worth of religious scripture because frankly its just a damn waste of space and you’re talking to people who are interested in tattooing for the artistry. However, like you said, you’re a…[Read more]

If you wanna be in the police any hand tattoo is generally a no no I would think! I didn’t check to see what country you are in but the police here (uk) have some funny rules about what and where you can have tattoos. My advice would be, soak, heal, laser. You don’t need to have had it done at a shop to get it lasered off, its a separate thing…[Read more]

I can’t view the page because Im on a restricted work computer so i’ll have to let one of the others answer that question. Buttwheat will always give you an honest answer and has excellent taste, same to be said for Arnivadar, PeterPoose, yodaddynukka… they will be able to point you in some good directions until I can get on to a piece of…[Read more]

Don’t mark anyone… Ever.

If you can’t get an apprenticeship you have no business infecting someone. You realise that poorly operated and or unsafe/unsterile tattoo equipment can kill someone? If you cause an infection you have a serious problem on your hands. If you cant do it the right way don’t do it at all. Certainly not to your poor wife!…[Read more]

You said his name is Seb but that link goes to someone called Bezerk Iwok? Have I missed something? Whoever he is I don’t like his stuff I’m afraid… I cant even put my finger on why… Either way I have never been one to stick with one artist so maybe it’s time for you to see what else is on offer too?

Buttwheat, love the pictures!

You’ll need to take them the script that you want, then they will ask you to choose a font (for the love of god avoid anything old English!) then they will draw it all up for you, when choosing a script font try not to go overly fancy, make sure the font size is big enough that it is readable without blurring into itself. The fancier the font the…[Read more]

Stop talking about tattooing people. You’re so far away from that point you have no idea.

Congratulations on your recovery, I hope it sticks but I agree, do not get tattooed until you’re no longer on the medication, it’s not worth risking a severe reaction that could permanently ruin your skin or worse. Reactions are dangerous things so don’t…[Read more]

It would help to see what is already there like the guys said. If you can post a picture of someone else’s tattoo you must be able to post one of yours. You can go over old tattoos, if you see a competent artist you will barely notice its been gone over, my advice would be to keep it out of the sun next time because it shouldn’t have faded as much…[Read more]

There are some really good artists up and around Scotland, you just need to look for them. You need a steady hand and a good eye, you also need to consider the natural curvature of your back which could make script appear wonky. You say you’re saving for a car so you probably wont get another tattoo, but judging by your writing style I imagine…[Read more]

I don’t think colourful floral tattoos looks feminine. Plenty of Japanese sleeves on men feature cherry blossoms, lotus flowers, peonies etc. I have a friend with a Hawaiian themed half sleeve with a whole bunch of big brightly coloured hibiscus on it and it doesn’t look feminine. If you like flowers, get flowers. If you want a jet fighter get…[Read more]

Welcome but DO NOT TATTOO ANYONE! If you want to become a tattoo artist draw and draw and draw, visit talented local artists and shops and enquire about apprenticeships and do it the right way. It is not worth scarring someone for life so that you can take the easy way out. If you want to master any craft you have to pay your dues and learn from…[Read more]

Boom!!!!!!

It’s not about other people being offended. No one cares about that. I can’t see the picture you have posted but judging by all the comments so far it would seem you are proposing a column of text, specifically one or more of the psalms from the bible, in the middle of your back down your spine.

My opinion, (but only because you asked for it) is…[Read more]

There are white highlights throughout my day of the dead leg piece which have stayed white but have faded out a bit but the white on the grenade on my finger has browned a bit. Don’t know if it’s got anything to do with the location or the fact they were by two different artists so could have used different inks etc, but it’s just the luck of the…[Read more]

The grenade is a little blown out now unfortunately but it was expected and tbh you can still see exactly what it is it just looks older so im not bothered. I just have an idea in my mind of these intricate dots and lines but don’t want it to end up looking like a blur! lol

Yeh this forum is definitely a fast way to find out if your ink is a steaming pile of turd! haha!

These look awesome, bet you’re dead chuffed!

Hellooooo!

I don’t mind at all when people ask to see or compliment mine, and tbh if they show me their crappy ones I just say “If that’s what you like then that’s nice for you” it annoys me more when people ask to look at mine and then start going on about how they’ve been planning one for ages and then asking me what they should get. How the fuck should I…[Read more]

I don’t understand the question?

A man is treating you like shit so you move on to one that doesn’t. Where is the doubt there?
