Hi Ryder

Here is a list of instructions please follow them before S. Neil blows a gasket :p

S.Neil is 😡 because he knows his shit and has offered you advice that you do not seem to be picking up on it.

To be honest if I could afford to I would love to take a month or 2 from work and study under him, Izz, and Outlaw…[Read more]

oh and i just read this morning that im supposed to keep my A&D in the fridge and i had it out for 3 days…its not going to go bad is it?

Good Lord, is everyone you talk to an idiot? Do the instructions on the A&D tell you to put it in the fridge? For Christ’s sake man, use your head for…[Read more]

Unlicensed tattoo discussion isn’t allowed on this forum. If you want an apprenticeship I can tell you how to get it or how to find out whether it will ever happen.

First, find a studio that does the quality of work you want to learn how to do.

Second, pay the tattooist there to tattoo work on you, and go back several times to get more work…[Read more]

Tattoos hurt. Period. Someone is sticking thousands of holes in you and injecting your body with a foreign substance. I hope you don’t expect that to feel good.

The thing is that tattoos are painful, but it is a tolerable painful. I have about 70% of my body covered in tattoos. ALL of them hurt. Some worse than others, but as a tattoo…[Read more]

No, but dirt will. Keep it covered, out of direct sunlight and wash it thouroughly when you are finished working outside. keep dirt out of it as much as possible. When I say keep it covered, I mean wear clothing that completely covers it.

Bwaaaahahahahahahahah!!!:D

Welcome LukeJ, gladjer here.

Feel free to look around. You are doing well researching BEFORE getting the tattoo. What I would suggest is posting in general discussion something like an open question stating your plans to get a tattoo and asking what to look for. We’ve got many knowledgeable people on this forum and you’ll get a lot of advice…[Read more]

really? ive heard that white goes over black really well when it comes to cover ups? mind you that is what i have heard and have no actual experience regarding cover ups and colors.

The concept you are talking about is a long, expensive and not always successful method. You use a large magnum to color white solidly…[Read more]

yes showers are fine. Wash it regularly. Use anti bacterial soap

ok thx for all that info,

yes i always keep a coat of A&D on it, but my friend who has many tattoos says not to put any water on it for the first week….how the hell do i clean it?

Quit listening to people who don’t know what the hell they are talking about, and get on line and research how to take care of a tattoo.…[Read more]

I think you’re a bit confused dude…. I’m not the one with the new tattoo.

Sorry Arni, My apologies. What I said was directed at the original poster, Ryder004, not you.

Look up premium tattoo supplies. They are in the United Kingdom. Get a hold of Karl. He’s an awesome artist. See if he can fix you up. Alternatively, we have several people on this forum who know the best artists over there, and if I’m not mistaken Outlaw on this forum is over there somewhere, and he’s damn good from what I’ve seen.

Oh…and one more thing. He’s probably over-shooting you on the time, but there is a reason for that. If I were doing that, I could probably get it finished if you did it 30% larger in four hours, but I’d still tell you six. Every one takes ink a little different and the artist has to compensate for that. You never really know how complicated…[Read more]

Comet,
If you could come to me…which I doubt, I guarantee you I could cover it with a dragon. Your existing ink work is well faded and made up of inks that don’t hold their color over time. If the artist doesn’t want to di it, it is probably because he either doesn’t know how to do cover ups…which is possible, he doesn’t like dragon work,…[Read more]

Listen Arni, a tattoo is an open wound. It should be treated like one. Its not a deep tissue wound, but it is still a wound.

keeping it covered actually impedes the healing process. Bacteria grows in dark, wet, warm places. When you cover a tattoo you create a nice wet, dark and warm place for bacteria to grow. It needs to breathe to heal…[Read more]

If he was a pro, an almost pro, or an artist in a studio with 4 years of experience he would have explained all that to you. The fact that he didn’t shows he isn’t. Go to my websight, http://www.newcovenantinktattoo.net click on the tattoo aftercare page and read it. Do what it says. I suggest NOT using A&D ointment, but since you’ve already spent…[Read more]

I have to agree Biker. I run a shop in Mineral Wells Texas and My brother just left me high and dry so I hired another artist to take his place. The artist I hired, until recently worked out of his kitchen. Normally I wouldn’t even give the guy a chance, but go to our webpage and look at his work. http://www.newcovenantinktattoo.net and you’ll see…[Read more]

The head is way out of proportion with the rest of the body. The entire head is engulfed in the back claws, when in reality it should be abouot twice as large. The artist has one wing (The Right) turned to the side when it should be turned the other direction. As a bird flaps its wings they flow upward and curve down to catch air. This one is…[Read more]
