Also remember a full colour sleeve is a big project between you and the artist. Its going to take quite a few sittings to get it done ( My full sleeves took about 30-40 hours each). If you intend on getting the sleeve finished ASAP, Be prepared to be in alot of discomfort for while, not only from sitting in the chair often, but also dealing with…[Read more]

The perfect tattoo is the one you like the best. Doesnt have to fit your personality.

Now GTFO.

White tattoos just dont seem to be worth it IMO. Apart from the obvious issue of them fading and turning a different colour rather quickley, they never seem to catch my eye like full colour or even black and grey tattoos do. I think this is mostly cause it is usually one colour, a colour that tends to blend in with your skin without the contrast…[Read more]

Honestly, the people you see in magazines with ripped abs or super skinny blondes are quite rare, and people with those bodies who have tattoos are even more rare. The vast majority of people dont have perfect bodies, many, many people have some fat on them, and its nothing to be ashamed of. I know im not 😀

Besides, most guys actually want women…[Read more]

man, the annoying and uncomfortable bullshit we put up with for our art…. 😀

Whatever you do, dont get full sleeves or any tattoos on your forearms/hands/neck/face if you are not absolutely sure about getting them. It really is a big step. That said, i love my full sleeves, and i dont care if some people find tattoos offensive or whatever. Ignorant people will judge you for the most retarded reasons, whether it be your…[Read more]

Past girlfriends have all been fine with my ink. I dont think i could date anyone who doesnt like tattoos, as mine are large and somewhat visible.

Very nice indeed. Ive always really liked sleeves, they have a real “wow” factor to them.

that pretty sweet. And its actually funny too, because today i got the outlining done on my full chest piece which has a similar theme. It has a demon on one side and an angel on the other, both of them about to fight each other, and a really hell-on-earth-apocalypse type of beackground, with fire in the sky and meteors and and explosions and…[Read more]

lion idea is pretty awesome, i must say.

I dont see much Celtic knot-work much, probably because it takes a good artist to do it well. If you can find an artist that can pull it off properly, do it!

Ever since ive been getting tattooed ive been more interested in looking at other peoples tattoos. I dont really notice people looking at me alot, but my parents are always like “that guy/girl was checkin your ink out!!”.

granted, but during the game, a riot breaks out and you are left mentally handicapped after being punched and kicked in the head numerous times.

I wish i could go into space.

hes right though. you havent given many details about what you and your wife like. Besides, this is really something you should be thinking about yourself,not some strangers on the internet. Tattoos are not to be taken lightly. Search around the internet, magazines and art books for ideas. Dont half ass it!!

i personally dont like it vertical like you described. Doesnt seem.. “right”. Definitely go horizontal.

Very nice. I hope to have some kind of body suit eventually, or at least 50% coverage. Big tattoos all the way!!

I have to agree. The only person that can and even should think of what tattoo you should get… is you! Only you know exactly what you like and what you dont, the only thing we can do is make suggestions on how the idea and become a good tattoo.

Tell your mom and GF to just keep quiet until you can think of an idea that you will really like.

Yeah ditch sux, but i personally thought inner wrist was worse. But the worst pain in a tattoo ive had so far is behind/inside the knee.

Yeah, ive heard the term Gauntlet used to. Seems kinda cheesy tho lol.

Personally, when i only had my left forearm done, i just said i had a “forearm piece”, didnt really call it a sleeve or anything. I guess you could call it a sleeve, but the term sleeve tattoo refers to the fact that the tattoo makes it look like the sleeves of a shirt.

But…[Read more]

I have both my wrists tattooed, and for me they hurt like hell. Very unpleasent sensation around those areas. However, i should say that im a guy, so it might be the complete opposite for you!
