Yeah, blah, blah, blah…Tribal is boring…blah, blah, blah. You know what I find boring? The endless tattoos of skulls, dragons, Kanji, koi fish,hears, stars etc. They are no different than the tribal that you guys are ripping on. Yeah, I don’t care if you like Tribal and I’m sure that you’d probably rip my tats, but…[Read more] -
replied to the topic scarification in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 12 years, 11 months ago
IMO scarification is really only interesting because of the process and amount of pain. The end result seems really underwhelming, and if anything, just ugly. Just doesnt seem worth it compared to tattooing.

hi, i was thinking for some longer time to get a white ink tattoo (and it would be my first), but the more i read about white tattoos, the more im startin to think that pure white is not the best idea, as it can fade away quickly, can turn into piss yellow etc.

replied to the topic Why the hate for Tribal? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 12 years, 11 months ago
For many including myself, tribal looks pretty bland, flat, and boring when compared to some truely awesome tattoos of things like dragons, skulls, japanese work, biomech, etc. Particularly when its in colour, non-tribal tattoos can be very bold and vibrant, and make you instantly speechless when you first see them. When you compare these pieces…[Read more]

replied to the topic Best tattoo designing software in the forum Tattoo Questions and Experiences 12 years, 11 months ago
Unless you are a tattoo artist yourself, designing your own tattoo is a bad idea. What i would suggest you do is get together a bunch of references, doesnt matter how many really, enough to get your point across. Go talk to a tattoo artist about your idea, outline every important detail, but allow him to adjust it to make it suitable for a tattoo.…[Read more]

replied to the topic Tattoo by fire in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 12 years, 11 months ago
The only thing i know of involving a “burn” to create a design is called Branding, done similar to the way they brand cows. However i dont think there are many people who are skilled at performing this. It also doesnt seem like a very good idea. Alot of pain for something that will probably look pretty ugly in the end.
Also, BMEzine has a whole…[Read more]

replied to the topic Tattoos – personal meaning vs just visual appeal? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 12 years, 11 months ago
The whole idea that tattoos must have some kind of deep personal meaning to be worth getting is something that the general public latched onto after watching shows like Miami Ink, LA Ink, etc. In reality, the meaning behind a tattoo is completely secondary to how it looks. And thats if the tattoo has any meaning at all.
Theres nothing wrong with…[Read more]

replied to the topic Swelling on new foot tattoo? in the forum Tattoo Questions and Experiences 12 years, 11 months ago
All tattoos swell to some degree, but its particularly noticeable with tattoos on the hands and feet. Just keep it clean, baby it, couldnt hurt to put your foot up when sitting or lieing down. Nothing to worry about.

Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it here. You may find some of use pretty blunt with our opinions about alot of things in tattooing, mostly because we either have alot of work, or are an actual legit tattoo artist. So try not to take things to personally. Alot of new people fall into that trap 😛
I was wondering where exactly you got your…[Read more]

replied to the topic Sunbeds + tattoos? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 12 years, 12 months ago
pretty much what goldengraemes said. Tattoos and tanning do not mix at all. Tanning often will fade your tattoo much quicker than it would normally. Some people put sunscreen on just the tattoo when they go tanning, but you will have to live with the skin around the tattoo being much paler than the surrounding tanned skin. If you arent willing to…[Read more]

When i look back on all the work i have, ive had some pretty paintful spots tattooed.
– Both elbows done, left one has a decent amount of coverage and the right one is completely covered, not very fun.
– both ditches (the area of skin opposite of your elbow) completely filled, again, not very fun, somewhat difficult to heal,
– right fingers,…[Read more]
