Beautiful! And I agree, not sure how long it’s gonna hold up.. But still looks nice! 🙂

And yup, machines do affect the pain level. I got the same spot run twice – once with a more old school machine, once with Dragonfly. Completely different!
Not entirely sure how it works, but it does! :p
But man, did you do 11 hours straight? That is bad ass.…[Read more]

Yeah, I think they do really good work! 🙂 And I love Ryans use of colors! Fits perfectly with my plans for my leg 🙂
Got a consult with Tim Kern in NY the week after too, hopefully we’ll get started on something big whenever we end up on the same continent again ;p

Oh,and I asked the artist I work with who uses saniderm, and he’s apparently only…[Read more]

yeah i think i said it wrong when i said it pulled out ink. but there was definitely ink on the adhesive parts and i think that was mostly excess ink. i would love to hear your experience when you do use it. who and when are you getting ink from?

EDIT: the only one i know of for sure that sells at stores is the tegaderm…

I’ve got some laying around here somewhere. An artist I work with use it sometimes, and he says to leave it on for 2-3 days. In his experience, it heals way better than with saran wrap. Saniderm, that is.
I’m bringing some with me to the states, because I’m getting tattooed in Miami and I might no be able to resist going to the beach.. ;D

Don’t worry about not doing only your own work just yet. Copy everything! It’s a great way to learn! 🙂
Look at art you like, try to figure out WHY you like it, what elements, composition etc you see. If you wanna be better at drawing Japanese art, copy a dragon 20 times and I promise you’re gonna learn a LOT from it.(20 probably won’t be…[Read more]

Tattooing on pig skin and human beings are two very very different things.
I suggest your brother reaches out to a studio. As long as he can prove his intentions are good, if he gets to know an artist a bit and makes it very clear he has no intention of tattooing real people, they might help you out.
I know someone who tattooed a chair once, and I…[Read more]

If such details are important to you, you should make sure to tell your artist. It’s art – such details don’t matter to everyone.
Not just with this piece, but in the future as well. I didn’t get that that is what you were wanting to add.. Didn’t you check out the stencil before it being tattooed?
A cover-up or add-on of that would be rather obvious, yes.

I assumed as much, but seeing how hostile this forum has been recently, I figured it didn’t hurt to apologize 🙂

Sorry, but when it came to questions regarding norwegian doctors, pharmacys, local tattoo studios and the average price for a touch up in that area of norway, I didn’t really think it would concern anyone not norwegian, and I didn’t think it would bother anyone so much 🙂 Sorry if it bothered you that it didn’t go in private messages.

A friend of mine has a video game full sleeve. It’s AWESOME! I personally have star wars tattoo, so I like the geeky stuff.

Go for it.

“From the streets with love” much? (very expensive flash book)
Some of your scetches look like bad copies of the work in there..
You’re a bit all over the place. Completely different designes crammed into one piece of paper. Like a dragon, hanya mask, tiger, flowers etc? Use more space. They don’t flow together very well.
Try some basics,…[Read more]

missing a seed pot..? As in two tiny lines filled with yellow?
You want a cover-up, because of that? Wow. Alright.

You can add it. It will be very obvious at first, but when those tiny lines heal, it should look just like the rest.

Well sorry. Didn’t realize it was so bad to answer someone in the simplest way? 🙂

To sum it up; She’s got dogs and cats, and got hair on her tattoo. She tries to avoid it, I told her she should indeed stay away from the animals with a healing tattoo.
Pretty much it 😉

Ingen erfaring med Karma, men arbeidet ser helt OK ut. Så lenge den ikke blir verre og du merker forberdring på noen dager, så er det nok ikke nødvendig 🙂

Hold hund og katt LANGT unna tatoveringen! Det er nesten garantert der infeksjonen din kommer fra, det skal ikke mye mer enn ett hår til.. En katt som smyger seg inntil en fersk tato…[Read more]

It makes some sense on me. Do stupid, thrilling things because we’re bored, read people well, don’t bother much with theory, spontaneous, consider rules more like guidelines, can be hurtful just because we don’t really know or care how people feel, realistic.
Yeah. That seems about right.

I don’t care too much for being around people all the…[Read more]

ESTP. Moderate extrovert, marginal sensing over intuition(1%), moderate thinker, strong perceiving over judging(95%).
I already know my psyche very very well, so these tests really tell me very little. I’m always a bit all over the place. If I take it again when I’m pms’ing I’d probably be a judgmental psychotic introvert.

Ja, infeksjoner kan oppstå lett! Jeg har hatt det tidligere, engang fordi hunden min kom borti, en annen gang ble den “skrapet” mot sofaen litt hardt.
Det skal veldig lite til, og din er på en utsatt plass! Så du har nok ikke gjort noe galt 🙂 Det er fort gjort.
Men ja, den ser veldig hoven ut. Du vet tydeligvis mer om klorhexidin enn meg, så da…[Read more]

I think you should call and cancel…

I honestly don’t think the blow out is THAT bad, not so much that it needs a cover up or to be fixed really!
If you hate it, go to your appointment and see what they can do.

Klorhexidin used to be used on piercings, but I do not recommend it.
It was degraded to a surface disinfectant years ago. It will usually be far too strong to use on your skin. It won’t hurt to use a little bit, but an anti bacterial soap, bacimycin and antibiotics really should do the trick! No doubt that it’s infected.

Den setter seg fast i…[Read more]

Gå på ett apotek å kjøp bacimycin! Vask den 3-4 ganger om dagen med intim såpe, forsiktig, og smør den med ett tynt lag bacimycin! Den ser ut som du har fått en infeksjon eller ikke gror veldig bra. Ser den ene delen er blodig, har du pillet/klødd/kommet borti den? Det kan fort skje hvis ruren faller av for tidlig!
Du må være veldig forsiktig…[Read more]
