If you want to stick around here it’s very simple just stand up for yourself without being a prick.
Take everything with a pinch of salt.

We don’t run people off but if someone comes in with shite artwork and asks what we think we aren’t going to lie and they wont either…

If you really want to be tattooed by him and you haven’t had a response I would keep sending them enquiries until I got a reply even if it’s a no. You don’t need to send one every day just maybe once a week or once every couple of weeks so that they can see you’re really keen even if they’re just super busy. If you can get to the shop with a…[Read more]

^^^ This is becoming irritating…

im still lost…

Please stop just copying shite you find off the internet and reposting, everyone can Google snake tattoo meanings, how about offering an actual original opinion rather than regurgitating whatever shit you find on Wikipedia…

Rant over.

Do not worry, the most important thing is how you present it. If you tattoo an eagle against the background of the American flag like here people will associate it with USA. This is also common in some countries like the US, Turkey, Rome, Russia, Poland, Germany, among others. I saw a tattoo of eagle with bagpipe and tattoo of…

Sometimes it makes me log in 3/4 times before it actually keeps me logged in but then it runs fine

Really like the first and last one. Anything with wings and im sold, it’s kinda my theme so im right there with you!

very nice, loving the rich purple mixed against the orange and red in the lotus flower. Gorgeous!

ink spreads in fingers. It just does. All finger tattoos I see including my own are either barely there any more or blown out you either accept it or tattoo somewhere different really, fingers are a bitch.

just wipe it lightly rather than keep washing water over it, it could just be some residue? but yes a picture would help

Even checking their work, if you accept a tattoo from an apprentice you kinda just have to accept it’s probably not going to be anything spectacular, if you want good work go to a fully fledged and experienced artist with a good reputation and solid portfolio. Maybe you should just live with it?

Imean I wouldn’t be so bothered about it making sense to other people, I don’t particularly give a shit what other people think, but, to me personally, that amount of different things, a warrior some british monuments and some wine? or whatever it runs the risk of looking like an unplanned mishmash of shite lol but then im a control freak so that…[Read more]

Hey John is a pretty common name, you might get lucky!

Bird tattoos are not “girls tattoos”

Swallow tattoos were originally worn by sailors to mark experience and number of nautical miles sailed for example. You have to remember that up until more recent years being tattooed was not something that women generally participated in so all of the common imagery you see was almost certainly originally…[Read more]

There are many different ways that you can take care of a new tattoo. Some people keep it permanently wrapped, some keep it moisturised, some, like me, just leave it the fuck alone. my skin personally does not need poking and prodding and faffing with, it needs air to breathe and to be left to heal itself naturally. I tend to leave the cling film…[Read more]

The only problem I would have is how completely different all of those things are and trying to put them all together composition wise to build a nicely flowing sleeve would be tough putting a koala bear next to Big Ben for example would (to me) look kind of odd! lol

Welcome to the forum dude, I’ll be visiting Aus from the uk at the end of November! Hope you enjoy the forum!

A bald eagle then yes people will probably assume that, but on the other hand, its not for them, its for you, you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone or give them your reasons why. You aren’t required to answer to anyone else about your choice of tattoo, all you are required to do is find a good artist to do the work well and provide you with…[Read more]

I always have been told im weird to be fair, maybe I just had a light handed artist, though she was tattooing my sternum at the time lol
