Dude, chill. It looks like it’s just healing. Lotion the hell out of it, with a clean, unscented lotion. You can’t lotion it too much, just keep applying, and if after say 20 days after you got it it STILL looks like that, go back to your artist.

Or maybe not. That design is lame as hell.

Okay, two points to make here.

First off, if you’re disagreeing with someone, in particular, widespread policies set by institutions, it helps if you can string a coherent sentence together with at least enough grammar to indicate you got your GED.

Second off, they care for the same reasons most professional jobs insist you wear slacks and a…[Read more]

(kh’s first tattoo)

Ya know, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Tattoos are a serious business fraught with meaning, and the both of you disgrace the name of the art by using for such a lowbrow purpose as “fun”.

😉

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Yeah man, tats or GTFO!

We’d love to help you as best we can man, but without pics, good advice is just pretty much impossible.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

The problem with demanding replies is that if what’s being presented doesn’t rock, you’ll often get a negative response.

And, sadly dude, this does not, in fact, rock. I won’t go as far as that other guy did to say it sucks, because it doesn’t. What it is is incredibly mediocre. Seriously, it’s the kind of piece I look at, go “huh, not bad” and…[Read more]

YAY!!! I WAS TOLD TO FUCK MYSELF!!! MY DAY IS COMPLETE!

Look, being a professional doesn’t mean you’re going to be good–plenty of scratchers have good credit, and can afford to open a shop. Hell, it’s how Heavens got open. It’s why you research a shop first, and listen to people who’ve patronized them–it tells you if they’re a pro, or a jumped…[Read more]

Also there’s something else to consider man, besides their excellent points. As tattoos age, they blur a bit. Get something with lines too damn small, and by the time you’re 50, you’ve got yourself an awesome black scribble. Yay! So, yes, it does need to be big so those tiny details don’t blur themselves out. 15 hours, and the attendant price,…[Read more]

…okay, I stand corrected. Koi aren’t always lame. It fact, that is a fucking killer piece man.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Okay…I have to play devil’s advocate on this one KH. Wasn’t the first post to this thread a complaint about being/feeling as an “them” versus “me” sorta situation.

Ever have that experience where there was someone who, while not a bad person, was distasteful, or just plain annoyed the hell out of you, only to find out weeks, or months later that they have tattoos? Doesn’t that make them less annoying? Don’t you immediately compare ink, and share that unspoken experience you mention?

It’s happened to me more…[Read more]

As has already been stated, it only disqualifies you for about a year from donating blood or other body parts because until recently, scratchers who didn’t know hygiene from their assholes outnumbered the professionals. Hell, they most likely still do, but at least the professionals are readily available in most areas now.

But, in response to…[Read more]

As usual, Matthew said most of what needed to be said right off the bat. The only thing I can add is that the “J” in there looks like a “P” because of the font. The only reason I figured out it wasn’t was because of how common a name “Joseph” is.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

I didn’t even read your post. Do you know why? Because anyone who’s enough of a jackass to use the word “gay” as a substitute for bad, stupid, disliked, ect isn’t worth my time. Please fuck off and die, in that order.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Diagonally. We qualified because if Timmy stood straight up, he’d be fifteen foot and then some.
