nice looking work, congrats, who is your artist, do you have more or more planned

thanks guys, I love the car, drive it all over, more than 100 miles a day

excellent, I like it

no doubt, no artist I know is going to ink up somneone elses drawing…….so why bother……..you can take reference pictures, crude drawing you made your self, photos whatever and take them to your artist…..an artist wants to create……..this is why these people became artists, let them do their job

we would need to see it, probably the shade of yellow being used doesnt work well with your skin tone,
certain colors dont show well thru our skin,
possibly you will just be able to switch ink brand and shade and have success

welcome to the forum

you killed this tattoo, there will be a tattoo left, it wont look very good, wait a few months and have a different artist redo the whole thing

over moisturizing such a small piece just killed it, and there is evidence the artist was too heavy handed on such a small piece

scabs are not good, you want to prevent your new ink from scabbing, but since it did, milky and faded black is normal, shiny is new skin, at this point just leave it alone

next time you get ink you want to prevent scabbing and losing part of the work

you like it alot and thats what is most important

some of the spacing isnt symetrical, some of the elements are not traditional, but doesnt that make it a bad tattoo at 10 feet?……….nope

cool, Jessee has skills, cant wait to see what you get done, you cant go wrong with him

I explain mine to people like this……….this is my earth suit, what I do with it is very personal, I dont tell you how to wear your hair, what to weigh, what makeup to wear………..I will do with my earth suit what I wish, I choose to adorn it extensively, it has been a plan since I was 15 years old

I dont ask permission

amen, I believe it, I see people with the gene and people without and you can tell who they are in 5 minutes of conversation……………my ink aint coming off, it was many years in the planning……….only regret, there isnt enough skin for all my ideas!

meanings are personal, you can look at my ink and I can look at yours and neither of us…[Read more]

so does it have to have meaning?
not neccessarily,
but they do require a heck of a commitment and alot of people are finding out they didnt think that out for themselves

ulitimately alot of us hardcore enthusiasts would like to see a reduction in the percentage pf people who regret the ink they have gotten…………..many of the forums members are still young and the jury is out as to how you will feel about your ink in 20 years.
I think the laser tattoo removal industry is going to make an awful lot of money…[Read more]

Welcome Rupee,
I take my ideas to the artsists I work with, they like to design, they feel like it is thier job to do and they dont like input from sources other than just me.
If you have an idea who you want to use, stop by the shop and try and have a sit down with them, I think you will find this is the best way to get the design worked out,…[Read more]

Adlers list,

and welcome back to the forum, we are glad you came back!

welcome, no doubt, we like pics!

no doubt, I would start talking now, get some feedback on your ideas and explore what is possible, good luck, we cant wait to congratulate you on your first

sounds like you didnt over moisturize, if not that would lead us to believe it was just worked too hard for your sensitive skin,
I would second the motion to just leave it be for now, let it dry out completely, let all scabs fall off on their own and see where you are
Hopefully it is not too bad, most of the tattoo looks like it will be…[Read more]
