i wouldn’t do stars. i think they are played out.

I think I like ‘Family is Strength”

You could totally add some scenery, like a moon, spaceships, asteroids, swirls, flames, mountains, etc. I think reds and greens would be cool.

Looks great Rev! I like all of the colors and they are blending nicely. Going to look sick when it’s done. Sucks you have to wait so long to get your next appt.

where is the tattoo? can you cover it with clothing? i personally wouldn’t be out in the sun with a fresh tattoo.

Check out some reviews on yelp.com or google of local tattoo artists/shops. Many have their portfolios online. Ask them if they’ll draw it up for you. It would probably help if you brought in pictures if you want to add other stuff. They’ll probably require a deposit to draw it up.

I agree, don’t mess around with your financial aid. Your brother is old enough that he should be able to scrape up the money himself. If you start dipping into your $ it will all be spent and you will have no education. Not a wise thing. Good luck.

It looks like the product can cause pigment issues.

I had laser removal on a lower back tattoo and am in the process of getting another one removed. You can no longer tell there was ever a tattoo there. It does have a slight scar of the outline of the tattoo, probably from being tattoed too deep but really you can’t see it. I only see it because…[Read more]

if you go with one of those designs i would still have your tattooist customize it a bit so it doesn’t look like someting 100 other people have.

I am curious, do you lift your arm up alot and expose your armpit or wear alot of sleeveless shirts?
If I saw this on the beach I wouldn’t look twice but I guess we all have things that bother us about our bodies.
Good luck!

I like the des ign but not how they mesh together. I would also put the leaf up a little higher or lower. Just offset them a little.

I woudn’t fill it in with dark either. I think it would look weird. Honestly most people wouldn’t even know it was backwards.

I would have the word lasered, then once it’s gone have the word written correctly.

sorry that happened to you. what a bummer.

Your laser place should carry a variety of lasers for different inks. They would be the experts to ask.

why don’t you get a pheonix? Go to checkoutmyink.com and check some out.

I love sleeve tattoos and would save your arm for something great. I would put the writing somewhere else.

I agree, a cross belongs on the arm or calf, not on the back. It would look lost on such a large area. Save something magnificant for your back.

yeah, also I had to wait about 6-8 weeks in between treatments so it took me a few years to get it removed (not only to save up the money but fit time into my schedule).
while the ink is gone, you can still see a scar from the tattoo but i think that has alot to do with the tattoo being too deep to begin with

very nice!

I can tell you you will need alot more than 5 treatments. I had a simple black/grey tattoo that took about 14 treatments.
