I posted a thread in the Inked Skin section with images of my new tat 🙂

Got my under arm piece done today and surprisingly, it didnt hurt anymore than the redo on my leg. Took 2 1/2 hours, another session soon to finish up the sleeve itself. Pics will be posted in the Inked skin section

No problem and thanks!

I’ll keep an eye out! What kind of theme and deisgn did you go with for the sleeve?

I’ve got two existing tattoos on that arm already (I have pics in my albums on my profile) so I’m added more flowers and a hummingbird and more vines and stuff like that. Tomorrow is the big day and I can’t wait!!

Well at least you were told before you decided to go in and have your plans suddenly change. I’m getting my sleeve worked on this Friday so watch out for some pics as well 🙂

That sucks. My tattoo shop always calls me the night before I’m scheduled to come in. Still, be sure to post pics when it’s done 🙂

So here is another question for you all. So, how would I go about sleeping with my new sleeve tattoo in hopes of it not bleeding/oozing onto my sheets? My artist advises not to cover it over night and only keep it covered for a few hours after it’s been done.

I don’t drink anything but water soo caffeine isn’t even part of my diet and I always eat before hand. Can’t wait for it, everytime I think about it I get butterflies churning in my stomach. 6 days away but I tell you what, these 6 days are going to take absolutely forever to get here! My mom is gonna be pissed but oh well Ha!

Name doesn’t mean anything

Ha, I wouldn’t go anywhere near my butt lol

Thanks though, just bought myself some gum to chew on while getting tatted. I’m sure I’ll survive

Thanks Chen. No tattoos near the back of my knee but it goes pretty damn close to my knee cap itself. Love the pain of a tattoo actually, just a little worried about the under arm because my sister has a rose band around her upper arm that she couldn’t finish because she said it hurt to bad but I guess I won’t worry to much!

The one I have on my leg is actually really big, going from just below my knee, down to my ankle, over my shin and back on my calf just a little and it was a redo kind of thing soo that really hurt but I’ve been telling myself if I can deal with that then I can deal with the one on my underarm. My artist is good, he tells me I sit well and I…[Read more]

I’ve personally dealt with a few artists in the past whether it was me getting tattooed or not. Two of the artists I dealt with before going to mine told my fiancé and myself to use A&D a couple times a day for 2-3 days and then switch to unscented lotion. Many recommended Aveeno or something a long those lines. They also told us to wash our ta…[Read more]

You can look into Mantra Tattoo: http://mantratattoo.us/

They have some great work and so many artists to choose from. Another place I’d recommend is Electric Quil Tattoo up in Boulder: http://electricquilltattoo.com/

Both those places are awesome. Look up Colorado Tattoo Shops, I know the Old Larimer Street Tattoo shop is amazing to with…[Read more]

Thank you! I’m glad you understand this feeling. It’s hard to find the words to explain, but at least we aren’t alone.

You are very welcome. It’s definitely a good fantasy though, one that has probably crossed my mind a couple of times though I know it would never play out. I always look forward to my next tattoo…[Read more]

Very nice post and I’d have to say I agree with a lot of what you wrote here. I find the connection between the artist and the tattoo-ee is actually a very sensual, personal one. I love being tattooed by the guy I go to. Not saying I love him or anything like that considering I’m engaged but the experience is to great for words. Its the mix of the…[Read more]

She’s not prescribing me anything for me to loose weight. I have Acid Reflux so she prescribes me something for that and it’s what I need to get refills.

Actually planning on joining weight watchers or something like that. Hell, my mom has Thyroid problems and that can play a big part so I’m going have them check mine just to see what’s up.

A couple of notes to what you posted.

Water I drink every da,y all day.
Tried calorie counting and writing down what i’m eating. Did that for quite a few months with very little success along with working out for 30mins to an hour every evening. Not a single pound lost. Frequent meals never helped either, trust me. I’m one of those people who…[Read more]

I’d be loosing it slowly that’s for sure. I don’t loose weight very easily and I’m gonna be trying some things soon in hopes to kinda kick it into gear. My metabolism is shot so it’s gonna take me a while to get it back on track anyway. Yes my health is more important but my tattoos are an important part of me and who I am but I guess we’ll see…[Read more]
