Ps; Helps to say which country you’re looking to get tattooed in 😉

They said they’re in the Midlands babe so I assume the UK! 🙂

Looks great! But I am struggling to see where it defines as dotwork…? I get the technique, but it doesn’t look like dotwork at all! 🙂

It was just a little at the start of the horn and I called it dotwork for a bit of a laugh as it reminded me like it looked like some, Thanks 🙂

Oh wow. Both you and your artist made some pretty big mistakes with this one..
1) Your chosen design and images do NOT work well for tattoos. Especially such a small one.
2) Your artist should have said no to doing this tattoo in the first place. See reason 1. I can understand why he’s not posting any images.

Digital art…

LOVE that. Nice composition and well executed, too. I really like that silhouetted lady at the bottom, nice touch.

thx it was my pick from a film noir painting a saw and the artist did the rest of the composition with the idea i had

Depends on the artist and their experience as well. Some newbies make extremely detailed tattoos that look like shit after 2 years, some very experienced and talented artists make the most detailed, realistic pieces that look good after 10 years. Hyper realism is fairly new, only a few have been doing it for more than 5-6…

Oh my god you guys really are short! I thought Carlos was short.. (he towered over me, but hey) ;D Cool.

But AMAZING work! Looking so damn good. And I’m so so so jealous. Especially of Gogue. I’d die to have him tattoo me!

Thanks! All the cool kids nowadays are short.

And all the old school fans rejoiced, as the part having held up the best is the single, heavy black line… 😉 The hand and skull doesn’t look too bad though!

I asked for him to add that line, otherwise he would have left it without, think it would have got lost 🙂

This is the leg I was thinking of lasering most as it is…[Read more]

@poxphobia I spend last holiday in Thailand and I found very interesting place. It’s one of the best thailand tattoo shool where are studing a lot of people from around the world. If you check “student art” or “student video” on this page you can look at works. Bamboo method is my favourite, so traditional and…

That is beautiful!! Flows really well with the dude that looks like Jesus. Now you’ll also avoid two completely different shades on them as one would always be a bit older than the other.

And I guess that’s the good thing about having so much awesome work, other artists want to push and do their very best as well :p

Glad…

Nah I just e-mailed him! And randomly he had a few hours available, liked my idea and such, and e voila. Appointment secured. It was a pretty obscure weekend. Friday night Remis confirmed, Saturday night Torres confirmed. One week later I was in Stockholm..

I only cared to be there on saturday, and…[Read more]

Thanks everyone 😀
Yeah I’m growing quite proud of my collection! Now known in my circle of friends as “the one that doesn’t get tattooed quite like the rest”. I take it as a compliment.

Except if it’s poorly executed. Too deep/shallow may cause skin to be raised. But as long as you see a professional this shouldn’t happen.

Yep this x3

This!…..

or put it on damp skin.

I couldn’t disagree more you don’t want to trap water on your tattoo with your ointment.
Oh so many ways to heal a tattoo but the tattoo will just heal on its own no matter what.

Do you just go on tours of Europe and hit up everyone in as little time as possible and squeeze in as much pain as you can? 😛

Yes exactly lol

Plus the first 2 weeks i am back i have Carlos for 3 days and then Flroian Karg lol

You can’t link pictures using just the image name of your computer… It needs to be either uploaded to this forum or linked from the internet.
A tattoo feeling like a mild sunburn after a few days is however completely normal. No idea how it looks though.

Thank you for the tip. going to update that now. I had uploaded them…[Read more]

A tattoo doesn’t need to have an embodied meaning for it to be meaningful to you. Koi tattoos have gotten extremely popular because everyone thinks it shows how strong they are. They can be amazing when done right and by the best artists, but a lot of horrible ones going around. It’s basically one of the new tribals.

You could always commission artists to draw for you, but it will cost you quite a bit of money.
Or you could check out tons of different artists and art, find someone who does a style similar to what you’re looking for, someone who does it brilliant, and then go to them and trust that they will create the best possible…

Just confirmed him for Tuesday after the convention 🙂
It’s gonna be a good week.

Awesome!!!!

Was hoping for An appointment with Torres at Stockholm but seems it won’t work out, but I don’t feel too bad considering I just got confirmation from Remis ;D

I’m sorry it didn’t work out 🙁 but congrats on Remis!

You should check out Lowlife tattoo, Freaks tattoo parlor and purple pain tattoo in Trondheim, Norway as well. Some really great talent in this town!

Oh, added to my list; Alexis vaatete. Who I might get in with at London tattoo convention.
August/September might suddenly become one hell of a tattoo time for me 😀

Go track down Paul Booth.

Probably the most overrated tattooist in my book.

However, you are wrong. Islam does not forbid tattoos. The Bible however, does. No, tattoos are considered Haram by most muslims, but as with most of Islam; It’s a matter of judgement. Previously all modification of the body was considered haram, including hair dye, braces, pierced ears +++. Henna tattoos f.ex are accepted…

Alright that’s what I thought. As far as I’m aware though there are several underground tattoo artists in Iran, my advice would be to seek out some of them, they would probably know the safest and best way to go about it.

Thank you
I just wanted to know which brand is better ink

What is the essence of a better world?

It requires pretty deep scars before that happens. I have some that go into the bone of my leg, and they are slightly shiny and wrinkly. So no. It should heal up fine, but it may take a while.
Yes, the spots.

It IS a scar. But scars heal. Know when you scrape your knees? Only the really really deep ones leave scars…

[Read more]

Well… Sort of normal. That didn’t heal very well. I can already see places it’s blown out, and judging by your amount of scar tissue, there is a chance it’s been tattooed too deeply. But impossible to know until it heals properly. All the loss of color is bad too.
Like, it’s not an emergency and you just need to let it…

That’s a blow out alright. Hard to tell how good any artist is without seeing pics of their work.. years don’t matter. They could have been tatooing for 10 years and still suck :p
It’s almost impossible to fix blow outs on tiny text like that. Just let it heal, wait a couple months and see how it looks. MAYBE it will fade…

Everyone kept going on and on about how this spot is horrible, but I found it pretty sweet.

It sure looks sweet to me too!

And it happens when a mod is online. Which isn’t 24/7 because we’re in different timezones and have lives 🙂 It’s been approved now, but please don’t post in totally irrelevant threads to get attention. We’re notified when we log on.

oh damn im sorry didnt know that

Finally got this colored in today 🙂 Super happy about it! Looove the colors! Surprisingly pleasant spot to get tattooed. Everyone kept going on and on about how this spot is horrible, but I found it pretty sweet. Hard to breathe during linework (some minor flaws due to this… ooops) but color and shading was hardly…

Some areas hurt a lot more than others. I find that the feeling can range anywhere from something like a cell phone vibrating on you to being carved into with a white hot butter knife. Or worse.

Although yours is on a quite tender area, it was a small and simple design to do. Lots of open space, and no shading,…

No need to be friends with him, his tattoo pics are open to the public on his fb page 🙂 (or maybe just because me and him share some mutual friends)
Cover-up looks great!

Oh, okay 🙂 maybe he changed his settings so anyone can see his work.

Wait to get your boobs tattooed until they stop growing.

In other words, never? Have a baby, they grow, eat too many candy bars, they grow. Where’s the limit?

The scar looks fairly flat so it should be fine to tattoo over.
A couple things to keep in mind when you want to tattoo over a scar; The scar should be at least a year old, preferably even more. This is to ensure that the skin has healed properly over it, if it still gets red, it’s not healed enough. I’ve had surgery scars…

Well, bloodlines are used as markers and meant to be tattooed over. Now these can be done several different ways; If you’re getting a large tattoo done, but you’re about to tap out, the artist may do bloodlines for the remainder of the linework so they don’t have to do a new stencil and try to make it fit with the existing…

Thought I’d let you know in case you didn’t know already, he’s returning may 25th -june 5th. So maybe you’ll have a new chance 😉

Holy SHIT! Thanks for telling!

I just booked my first planeticket for my trip around the world.

Well shit, I don’t envy you at all! 😀

When’s the big day then?

I just booked my first planeticket for my trip around the world. Shit just got real.
I’m gonna need so much sunscreen. I’m gonna spend at least a year travelling asia, australia and south america.
I just got slightly terrified. And so so so excited! 😀

I’ve done this, it will probably be one of the best things you ever do 🙂

You should be able to find bephanten

I had be using bephanthen, and cleaning and creaming it twice a day its my 12th tattoo and never had any be like this….. when it did bleed I just cleaned… my tattooist has said just keep it clean and not cream it for a while. so I haven’t creamed it all day, haven’t been picking at…

Go see a professional tattoo artist that has been in the industry for a while. They’ve seen a thousand old tribals that people want to cover up, change or expand on.

Assholes. I woke up to a snowstorm.

Odd. You wake up to a snowstorm, and we’re assholes. Feminine logic I suppose.

Okay that tattoo has healed HORRIBLY. On the pic taken after two days it’s also infected. Looks like a beginning one, so the infection probably came from something she did after leaving the shop. It looked OK when it was fresh, but it’s healed really bad. It’s almost hard to believe the black is so completely…
