I was about ready for it to be done.

That’s a good way to describe it.
I’m fortunate that the two artists that work on me have a light touch.
Once during a long session on my foot and ankle Anthony asked how the pain was. I said I hadn’t thought about kicking him in the face yet. That day, Skelly the piercer started…[Read more]

I’m constantly looking at almost anything and thinking what kind of tattoo it would make.

I got my first one in June, 2012 and I just hit 71 hours last Thursday (7-18) I have hundreds of notes, sketches, and pictures in a file ready to go at a moments notice.

What’s your next one?

Welcome to the forum!

I suggest making a chest piece with it.

Really nice!

You make the nickname “bird legs” really positive!

I’m usually in the peeling stages within 3-4 days. So obviously everyone’s healing process varies but that is what I deal with mostly when I come in.

We should time our tattoo sessions so that we can peel together.

Polynesian themed tattoo and make those mushrooms into tiki huts.

My first thought was that those were tiki huts.

Real nice piece!

like i just said arni on the paper he showed me it said not to use any cream such as aquaphor just to only buy unscented lotion. that makes no fucking sense.

That makes all the sense. Make sure your artist uses non petroleum based lubricant while tattooing. (I use Redemption, but there are others) Wrap it in plastic,…[Read more]

Let him know your concerns. See if he has a solution.

Good luck, keep us posted.

Arni’s correct.

A & D went out with nickel beer and horse shit in the garage. (A & D has Cod liver oil that some people are really allergic to)

YOU HAVE A TRAMP STAMP! Hah, awesome

Yes. I got it last year. I should have had it in the 1980’s when I was a plumber!

Welcome to the forum!

Nice idea, and I agree about not using a name.

Of all his tattoos, do you have a favorite one? Do you share a favorite activity? I don’t care for portraits, but I can see a shadow resembling his profile behind a motorcycle, or a replica of one of his tattoos. (your favorite one)

Good luck, keep us posted, and lots of pictures!

Welcome to the forum!

That’s one place I don’t have a tattoo yet, but I’ve heard it is tough there.

So far the balls of my ankle were the worst.

Does yesterday count?

My Jurassic back piece was started. (YES, it can be construed as another lizard)

Today lightning struck a fuel storage tank about 5 miles away. No fire but evacuations for people close by. (I nearly evacuated but got to the pooper in time)

I know a girl with “chipmunk cheeks”. If my nuts are irritated she’ll keep them…[Read more]

Awesome thanks! Very sexy, love the placement! How’d it feel compared to your other tattoos? Not much meat on your foot!

Parts of the foot can be bad, but mostly not so bad.
The balls of my ankle hurt like hell. Behind my knee hurt too. My shin and upper thigh did not hurt nearly as bad as I was told it would.

Good luck!

Thank you 🙂

That sounds very interesting on your tattoo idea. If you do get it, show it 🙂

This is the first session. Three hours by Lindsay Wilson.

My leg has lizards and plant life. It will morph into an aquarium / undersea theme as it wraps up my right side. I never thought about oysters until peter’s comment.
Oysters or scallops could be interesting. Hell, I’m already planning a lobster.

[lang=lt] Only those pimples are still there but it’s because of the cover that i used. :)[/lang]

Starting with my fifth tattoo I used the “dry wrap” method exclusively. I had a few pimples before but nothing like the ones on my red lizard. The day it was done the temperature was in the 90’s and has been there pretty much…[Read more]

[lang=lt]That photo looks kinda same as mine, you have those pimples, but there’s already scab ont the tattoo, mine is still healing. Just washed it with anti bacterial soap and use bepanthen cream and i don’t feel any pain. :3[/lang]

It’s been over four weeks now. The pimples and scab have gone away. It still itches…[Read more]

The world is your oyster 🙂

I think an oyster tattoo may be viable. Have it open exposing a pearl. Perhaps a black pearl at that.
