Rotary machines sound way less hi tech but in my opinion hurt way less! maybe that’s just me! its more of a low rumbling that the high pitched buzz you get from a standard machine!

I need a nap…

I just leave mine the fuck alone tbh. I don’t wrap it or cover it or ointment it. Just let it do its thing. If its gets real dry for any reason i put the tiniest bit of bepanthen on to let it get some moisture in it and then i go back to ignoring it. I have never lost any colour or had any problems and am typically healed within 2 weeks even with…[Read more]

you wear shoes, shoes rub, its only 4 days old, a bit of redness and scabbing (particularly on the foot) are inevitable, if your whole leg goes black and falls off it was probably an infection…

It can take around 3 months for a tattoo to fully heal and it will go through stages in that time. Just take care of it like you would any other wound and it will be fine.

I agree with Sam, I appreciate that finding an appropriate apprenticeship in prison is not an option but now if you want to do this I hope you will do it properly. Find a good artist nearby, take a portfolio of sketches and keep asking until you get that apprenticeship. It’s the only way to make it as a reputable artist yourself and it will pay…[Read more]

I dunno about that, I quite like a little cross here and there! I think execution and position are as always key to its success though!

Logic strikes again lol

OP are you a trained tattoo artist? I hope you’re not practicing out of your kitchen…

I mean… the whole thing looks kinds wonky… I’m not surreally sure how best to fix that now to be honest. I would recommend looking up a good artist and going to them and asking what they would recommend to rectify it. Maybe they can find a way to shade it out or something?

Looks awesome babe! Saw this on your instagram! Looking forward to seeing it finished!

Get rid and never get a name again, common knowledge that a name tattoo is the kiss of death for the relationship. You could of course cover it with something else rather than removing it? That or find a gorgeous new guy named John and hope for the best.

yeh I was thinking about getting a huge circle on my face and then filling it in… can’t imagine why anyone would question that…

Let the muppet have his big black box

good luck paying for the laser bro…

Some things just don’t need to be fucked with bro, appreciate what you have and then find a new piece of skin for something different I say, buttwheat is right!

If you feel you have a good rapport with this one and you like her work then go for it, I hope she gives you what you wanted and hey, if not there’s always laser lol

Be sure to post pictures here when it’s done.

looks good mate, looking forward to seeing when it’s done!

Proud of you, go and enjoy your first tattoo and make sure you do come back and share it.

You’ve done the right thing.

Maybe speaking to the shop owner again? You said that he was the realist artist that you went in to see and ended up being persuaded by this other guy to go with him instead? I would go back and ask to talk to the person who originally took your interest. DO NOT get anything marked on you that you are not 100% certain that you love, its not worth…[Read more]

I really wish this computer wasn’t restricted so that I could see the image lol I cant access instagram from here lol

depends if you went to a backyard scratcher asking for a galaxy or whether you went in with some stars your kids drew I suppose…
