glad you found your way here to the forum, so where abouts in sussex are ya, im in folkestone just up the road in kent lol..

if your slapping it and colour is coming out each time then i would say that you are beating the crapout of i, try a gentle slap that is ust hard enough to do the job, also …. how much bepanthen are you using ?

without sounding rude its hard to reply to this post,

first off i would say that it was not done by a pro artist, the shading is monotone, the lining is inconsistant, and i would say that it is more the depth and technique of the person doing it and also possibly that their machine setup was not correct, its quite easy for people to blame it on…[Read more]

I slap it 😉

once again matthew was straight in with the precise answer.

once the book is out then i know i want a copy 😉

most artists dont use direct fonts, they normally use a base script like edwardian script and adapt it and add the filligrae swirls etc….

what is it that you are wanting writing up ?

have you thought of having it coloured in ?? or even some nice shading, that will stop it looking bland and lonely

once you have had the piedce done the artist will cover it with either a cling film, tissue or some for of dressing, once you get home and was the tattoo of as instructed then you wont cover it again until healed, it needs air to heal.

the thing you need to remember is that your hands need to be super clean before touching it until it has healed.

it’s good to be on a forum with great art… i’ve already seen dozens of inspiring pieces on here.

thats what we like to hear 😀

i never advised cocoa butter to anyone, but if thats what you were told then yes keep using it until all the scabbing has dropped of and the skin just looks shiny… normally its ok after about day 10

i know two people that will wash it with hot soapy water once they get home then do the dry heal process, they have had no problems either.

its best to go with what your artist advises to be honnest

just bath it often to clean it up using warm salty water, this will dry it out and cause it to stop weeping..
thats the problem with scar tissue, its unpredictable.. watch out for a keloid lump appearing as well. 😉

its going to be a nice piece indeed, personally i would go for full colour..

you are still in the healing process, i recommend you keep it covered with loose fitting clothing when going in the sun for about 6 weeks… you can then apply a high factor sun block and proudly show your art to the world 😉

bloody spam 😀

looks great michelle “respect”

welcome aboard the forum ink 😉

welcome to the forum, turbo said what i was thinking,
you could post some of your artwork up in your gallery for everyone to see 😉

WOW….. sorry matt,
thats insane to find out just as you was going to have that long awaited and precisely planned backpiece of your dreams.
your input on this forum is always correct and precise, i do hope that with the sad news of you not being able to recieve ink that you will still stay with us and continue to give your valued support to all…[Read more]

to be honnest its a nice idea you have, it is something that you need to find a good artist and let them draw something up for you….. dragons take a long time to draw up and thus i dont think anyone would be prepared to draw one on here for you ( i might be wrong)
if it helps then i have slung together a file and placed it on my website, its got…[Read more]

cant wait to see the colouring going in, i agree we need updates if you got it done buddy 😉
