replied to the topic Working out – Exercise after in the forum Tattoo Aftercare 12 years, 4 months ago
The biggest thing with the tattoo is keeping it clean and healthy.
If you’re not going to sweat to much (as in doing a massive session) it should be ok, but personally I’ve always waited a minimum of a week sometimes two before I get back into things.Mostly because I want the tattoo to heal and be as crisp as possible, but also because I tend to…[Read more]

replied to the topic Keeping traditional symbolism in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 12 years, 4 months ago
Cheers for the input – I guess at the end of the day, the main reasoning for placement is for feng shui and a belief that they are somehow mystic creatures – which I don’t really subscribe to so it shouldn’t be to much of an issue.
I have to wait a bit to get the first piece of the sleeve coloured then will get my artist to draw up a fo dog that…[Read more]

I took two weeks away from muay thai after my latest tattoo.
Being covered in sweat, shirt rubbing and possibly dropping skin everywhere (if you flake up when healing) isn’t ideal for a tattoo or for your training partners.Take at least a week, unless you are training for competition in the near future.
A week won’t hurt your training. -

Just finished 2 hours of shading and highlights, next session will be colour then working on the inner bicep to transform the piece to a half sleeve.
It’s still fairly fresh and not cleaned 100% in this pic so will get a couple more later on:

That’s very true I guess – I have just always liked a longer session, I think it’s because I’m impatient and want the finished artwork quicker 😉

Only another 2.5 hour session unfortunately but that will still get a heap done. -

Yamaha is the biggest cruiser I can get for two years.If I had only got a bike license when I got a car license it would be all good.

Cheers all 🙂 I’ll post more pics when I get the next session done in two weeks.
It will probably be 1 – 2 sessions a month till the sleeve is done.Then I can work on the other side and my ribs 😉
And no problems on the coward vs forward – I figured it was some sort of autocorrect magic.

replied to the topic [langtitle=nl]Ervaring met tattoo binnenkant arm.[/langtitle] in the forum Tattoo Questions and Experiences 12 years, 5 months ago
I have fairly large lettering on the inside of my bicep and the only section that was a little annoying was up close to my armpit.
It wasn’t really that painful (but so far I haven’t thought any of my tats that bad), it does come down to the individual though.Based on GrayCatLove’s rating of 4/10 for me it was probably closer to around 3/10…[Read more]

As promised my first tattoo:
I am booked in to have a whole sleeve done on this arm, starting on the 31st March.
It will be a fusion of three styles, Traditional Japanese koi with a twist (Can’t say much until it’s done) down to elbow, then bio-organic to the wrist. The twist is in the Koi that while it might be on a traditional background,…[Read more] -

I would have filled it in – but I don’t want to request access to the google doc.
Can you open it up?
