i must admit that i have a client that went the same way, found out she is affected by savlon, she used bepanthen cream and it cleared within 1 hour, so thats all she uses from now on with any pieces she gets

this photo looks like it could be a rash from the effects of :

shaving or the pressure from stretching the skin

as matthew has said,…[Read more]

i would probably go for a nice b/g shading in the background and colour the badge in like chrome effect, just to make it look like a badge from a vehicle and the shading to lift it out and pop nicely 😀

that is nothing to do with this place, i would recommend logging of the net and doing a restart of the computer…… press F8 and start up in safe mode….. then open your internet tools and delete the cookies and files, it sounds like a tracking cookie to me buddy

give it a try and call back to let us know the outcome 😉

i like your designs….
the red one has a smile like my ex-wife… it ran in the family and she got it from her mother :p

i would like to say my compliments go out to your artist who spent the time to explain that it was not a good location for the piece, most artist just want your money……
this guy will put all his abilities into this piece…[Read more]

very very nice piece of ink…. kudos to the artist

my oppinion aint much but here goes ….. NO COLOUR 😉

plus i wouldnt do it in solid black tribal, personally i would go shaded like in the crest… it wont look as agressive and will compliment body tone and shapes

welcome to the forum dave,

this site does not allow unlicensed tattoo discussions, there is no problems in sharing ideas or advice on artwork etc but nothing in the way of techniques or equipment and setup etc are permitted.

its nice that you shouted out that you are going to be a link whore…………. but remember that spamming also gets you banned 😉

this time you got away with it, but next time your link will be removed along with your membership. !!

i met Dan Gold at the Gillingham tattoo convention…. he seems real nice, my daughter got her photo done with him and got his autograph…. that really made her day as he is one of her idols and she has watched every episode on tv with him in several times…. she is inspired by his work big time

keep your eyes peeled back for a program called…[Read more]

right, i have now seen them on here as well………. I need to get my fat arse over to nz and take you up on that guest spot offer in your studio michelle, dammit i want some ink from you lol..

the only people that get away with hand tattoo’s are normally people in the tattoo trade or rockstars….. yes there are some people that are professional and dont fit into those 2 catagories, but they are few and far between.

its the same with neck and throat pieces as well

first time he’s been fucked by anything over the age of 12 lol….. :p

shame really as no matter what the chap had gone through, he truly was an icon of the pop industry, and such a tallented person….. R.I.P wacko jacko

when taking photo’s of tattoos then i would recommend doing it in plenty of light and dont smother it in lotion or you will get that horible glare on the image.

every piece of ink will fade with time, but in your case then everyones skin is different and also how you treat your hands will play a roll in the longevity of the piece.

in easy terms, its hard to say how long it will last…. sorry

spot on advice once again from our resident guru 😉

sorry to hear you found a place like that, where in the world are you ????

hi there and welcome to the forum

very nice indeed

the problem being is that you have all the elements involved allready, the only way i would say to extend it would be to find the coat of arms history ie… where it originates from and if there were any clan battles etc.. then incorporate those elements into the background and extending downwards.
