Since you asked, I like the color of it’s eyes, but it’s cross eyed. That large jewel at the bottom looks horrible. Does it have claws or fingernails?

You should have gone to a better artist.

Anthony Zamora just canceled appointments next week for my wife and me. He’s going to be on Best Ink, and they start filming next week.

Also Frank McManus from near by New Cumberland will be on Ink Masters.

Anthony is looking for money to open his own shop. I guess I’ll have to watch a few episodes. It’ll be interesting.

The skull would be easiest to work with and make a sleeve out of. Tons of things you can do and add to it!

Be sure to post lots of pictures!

I’m glad you’re back.
I just started this whole tattoo thing last year.

Welcome to the forum!

I have used Aquaphor with good results. I have recently switched to non petroleum based products. I do use Cetaphil and Lubriderm with tea tree oil mixed in for a few days after I’m done with the plastic wrap. (I dry wrap) Then just straight moisturizer.

Cry all you want.. it’s a physical response to intense pain.

I can handle the pain. It’s the fucking ITCHING!

I think that’s the apprentice that did my Union Label lower back piece!

I had to wait until a moderator “oked” the thread.

It has to be approved by the text and tribal review board. The intricacies of threads containing text and tribal tattoo ideas are such that the board only gives it’s approval for a small number of cases.

Welcome to the forum!

No. Don’t get a text tattoo.
No. Don’t get a tribal tattoo.
