now that is a seriously nice piece of ink,
the detail in it is fantastic and its no wonder it took 5 hours ….
mucho kudos to the artist, and well done to you for sitting that long as well

yes hygeine is a major factor, but you need to look at their portfolio of work, dont look what flash they have on the walls, you need to see photo’s of their work they have done, ask them what they think of the piece you have and listen to their comments..

to be perfectly honnest, i would change artists, they dont look very professional and tidy…. i didnt want to say anything bad but i know the piece has meanings to you, they should have made it dainty and pretty or at least more femanime….

This has always been a thought, why no Woodstock tattoos? Ever since the episode of That 70’s Show where Eric wanted “Donna” tattoo on his butt and it turned into Snoopy’s friend Woodstock, I’ve been waiting to see some followers. Maybe it’s just me, being from Wisconsin and all…

good on ya for challenging them, i moderate on another forum where every so often we get somebody post things like “i am a grad student in psychology and i am doing a studdy on tattooed people” and all of a sudden world war 3 breaks out and the topic normally gets closed after more swear words come out that…[Read more]

welcome to the forum, there are plenty of peeps in the same boat as you, but they all give in to more ink eventually lol..

hi chucky, welcome to the forum, im sure if you stick around and interact a little with the members somebody will start to share ideas etc with you

theyhave been around for thousands of years and they are only just being accepted…… dont hold your breath for quick changes lol.. :p

i agree that it has opened peoples eyes up to accepting that people want tattoo’s, but the only problem with miami ink etc is that people now relate having a tattoo done only for emotional reasons…… wtf…. i want them cos i like them, i do them because i like doing them , and to be honnest with you, the people that get their first piece dont…[Read more]

welcome to the forum,
sorry to hear your sad loss, but to be absolutely honnest with oyou regarding your tattoo design, if you have looked at as many designs upto now and have not found anything at all that you like then there is no way that we could say how about this or that and you liking it.. It is a very personal thing and to be fair with…[Read more]
