Unless you’re a very talented artist or used to drawing tattoos, I’m sure he’ll be doing a lot more than just refining it. (99% of the time it needs to be completely re-designed)
Where I’m from tipping isn’t normal at all and I tipped way too little when I got inked in the states, so can’t really help with the exact amount. Depends a bit on your…[Read more]

Well the celtic cross isn’t a viking symbol Bert! 😉 It’s Irish and christian.
The celtic cross as you know it today was mainly used for decorative purposes on graves, but a lot of the newer imagery has a neo nazi origin, so I’d tread carefully if I were you. But it really has very low religious meaning or any other, it’s mainly just.. Pretty.…[Read more]

I’m saving for this years convention in Trondheim, but if he gets back before that – I’d jump on that train any day.

I could always ask when he’s coming back for you if you want.

And thanks everyone ^^ It’s healing beautifully, despite some spots being pretty sore due to previous surgeries etc. ( I can totally…[Read more]

1) Three threads on the same topic is absolutely not necessary. One is more than enough.
2) You can’t link to pictures on your computer, it has to be online. There is a 1-2-3 guide to this on this forum, I suggest you read that and the general rules.

So. To the tattoo. Without a picture it’s impossible to tell if/what can be done, but it sounds…[Read more]

Congratulations 😀 😀

I have yet to have anyone famous tattoo me, hell, I’ve been tattooed by friends who are apprenticing as well. SMALL tattoos. They don’t get to do my entire side, but they get 10x10cm on my leg and ask I for something they think is fun and feel is a bit of a challenge. With a deal that they’ll re-do it once they’re better artists. Helping out a…[Read more]

You hear that the ribs suck from people who don’t have a lot of tattoos. I had parts of my ribs done and it was hardly painful at all.

For a lot of people tattoos right over bone will be more sore after than other places, I gave a healing tattoo on my shin at the moment, a week old, and certain spots are still sore. A tattoo doesn’t just touch…[Read more]

White tattoos only look good while fresh.

I so so so wanted to answer much more to this, but the angry feminist in me isn’t very nice or polite. She’s a bitch. Which I hope your wife is too when she realizes you’re trying to decide what she does with her own body.

It always annoys me when people have full sleeves, a chest piece and NOTHING ELSE!
Like.. come on. I got ashamed of myself for having a full sleeve and so little other places that I’m still working on mellowing it out :p Makes it much more fun when people ask about my tattoos and I can just say “you should see what’s under my clothes”!

I had a…[Read more]

She’s massively disproportionate. Sorry but it looks completely off design wise.

And; You don’t have anything even close to a sleeve. You have some tattoos on your arm.

GCL; FOURTIES?! I thought you were like early thirties, tops.

Feeling young here, haha! I got my first at 15 and I’m just 23. But hey. I’ll be out of room way before I’m 40. When I worked in a shop we once had a lady come in to get her first, for her 70th birthday! It was fun. She got quite a few more after that. So never to late!
I basically…[Read more]

Haha, well as far as I understood, it won’t be too long til he’s back! 🙂 He’s been travelling for four years now and said he’s been here a ton?!
But hopefully he’ll come back soon. I saw the posting last week and just thought “yep, this has to happen” and sent an e-mail and decided I could afford it.
Really cool guy!

In this modern world it’s fairly easy to get an idea of their average work. Portfolios aren’t that big of a deal anymore as many artists post their daily work on instagram, facebook etc, or their clients do and tag them. Portfolios don’t necessarily consists of just their best work either, I know many artists put images in there that they think…[Read more]

Artist can only do so much – if your idea is horrible, the tattoo will be horrible. It may be well executed but may very well still be a shitty tattoo because the customer insisted on a shitty design. It happens ALL the time. Artists aren’t your mommy and can’t take responsibility for your choices. Sure, most will try to some extent if they know…[Read more]

It has a little bit of everything, doesn’t it. Light bulb, skull-topus, spaceship, third eye and heart!! Wow, that’s like a six in one. Cool. (Or are those piano keys I see hidden there too, for a 7 in 1). It looks good.

I am liking the heart a lot.

I love that blog so so much!

Beautiful!!!

As long as you’re in good control of it, there is no reason not to get pierced with diabetes.
As for ear piercings go… Same same but different. No one really notices unless you have massive lobes or something.

I dropped out on “language of the angels”…

I hate showing my legs due to the lack of ink! Haha, once when I was in Sicily and just had my back and sleeve done + some minor once on my leg, this old guy looooved my art but was all fuzzy about me not having more on my legs to “balance it out” ;D

I hate winter. When I’m all covered up I feel like screaming “you should see how exciting I’m…[Read more]
