Aw, Lupe! She’s cute. (dog in the pic 😛 )

But yeah there is a trend! Frenchies are adorable though. Tattooed, bearded men with cute little dogs. I’m cool with this being a thing. Totally cool with it! :p

It is not an issue. It’s a beautiful, wonderful thing. No one messes with the beards!!!! 😛
And I like how you used a pic of David for that. Haha, I think all the guys in that shop have beards now. They’re multiplying.
Beards are good.

I almost don’t want to answer this just because of your last line, which is so sexist and degrading that I just wanna bash my head at the table. But here goes.

A lot of people on here trust their artist, because they pick the very best. They pick an artist based on their ART. Not some bad artist who does bad work, but an amazing one. Someone you…[Read more]

Works here too now! Honestly it’s always been a bit slow on my computer, but my computer is kind of a bitch at times so I figured it might just be that. But now it works very well. I still get picture notifications from a year ago though 😛

Why do people use anything other than water lol I only use luke warm water and its works perfectly!

Maybe because people have different types of skin and heal differently? I tried avoiding any products on one tattoo, and it healed horribly. My tattoos need ointment. As does my skin need lotion every single day during…[Read more]

Not the first time I’ve heard people get an infection when using tattoo goo..
It’s infected alright. That yellow stuff is signs of it. Use a non-perfume, non-alcohol soap and a small amount of ointment when needed. Maybe try an anti-bacterial ointment (the kind made for small infections in superficial wounds), or see a doctor if you get a fever etc.

It’s the same for me. I use chrome and adblocker, but it doesn’t happen to any other forums or sites in general.
It takes a while to load, and scrolling is a bitch.

Sounds pretty respectful and is inspired by your tattoo not a copy. Be happy with that.
Hey your Carlos one looks similar to another one of his I’ve seen I’m sure yours was “inspired by that one.

Yeah on that guy Tyedollars on Instagram? He recently posted a pic off both their tattoos next to each other. He’s got two…[Read more]

First of all that article was horribly written and I wouldn’t take much of that for truth.
Your tattoo looks FINE. They take time to heal, that’s just how it is.

don’t know what “painter tattoos” means, but no on the Vaseline. I haven’t heard about anyone recommending it for years except scratchers.

It’s a wound, it shouldn’t be moisturized but helped to heal, with a suitable ointment.

It’s a fresh tattoo, so it’s healing.
But do NOT use Vaseline on it!!! It will completely clog your skin.
What kind of aftercare instructions did you get?

Are you planning on the traditional male/female Samoan tatau? If so – Probably not gonna happen. Those don’t get awarded to tourists.
If you’re just looking for a Samoan inspired tattoo in a different form.. Well it’s popularized and touristy either way. Probably someone who does hand poked tattoos on tourist, but I doubt they’ll be among the most…[Read more]

Hi, welcome to the forum!

Just fyi, any scratcher discussion etc (like practicing at home with a machine..) is forbidden on this forum.
All other tattoo/piercing discussion is ofc allowed 🙂

Post pictures of the tattoos you have! 🙂

I have adblock too and I haven’t seen a single ad yet! 🙂

I think a dislike button is a bad idea in a forum, because it makes it all to easy to just press “Dislike” instead of giving any kind of constructive feedback or voicing opinions. And as a discussion forum, I’d think that’s sort of the idea of it all. Turning it into like/dislike and meme’s all over the place would really just make it a 9gag for…[Read more]

Makes me think of one of those “if barbie was real” pics. It wouldn’t work very well.

Don’t give them a dislike button. It’s gonna get ugly.
Still voting for the t-rex sign though.

Agreed with the last comments. Far above your skill level at this time, keep it simple, learn about decay and anatomy if you want to draw things like this.

We need one of those “It’s been “x” days since last T-rex incident” signs to indicate how long it’s been since the forum crashed.

Can’t help with artists, but cool tattoos! Actually seen both of them somewhere before. Who made the top one?
