This is just purgatory!

Hell will just seem like an eternity.

Welcome

The photo on facebook is in the “traditional” style of tattoo. I’ve seen some done very well. but it’s not for me personally.
Size? Get one that fits you. A tattoo artist will do one “tailor made”. A tattooer will give you one “off the rack” (or wall in this case)

Just be sure to do your research and get it done right.

Good luck, keep us posted.

Welcome to the forum!

What tattoo do you ultimately want? You didn’t mention the subject. The more money you spend, the longer you have to wait for a good one.

Don’t start out with shit. I did, and now the artist is nearly done working around the shit tattoos and working on unobstructed skin. What a fucking difference! He can really fly…[Read more]

Yes, buttwheat is right!! I would include a full sleeve tribal to the design!

I hadn’t thought of tribal as that is one style I hold in high regard for special circumstances. This is certainly one that would apply. Perhaps a reverse sleeve on the other arm.

What is better cookie dough or rocky road ice cream?

Rocky Road has a higher SPF value.

Just for your information, Naval Jelly is not fish preserves, or belly button lint remover.

Welcome to the forum!

I use a sunscreen of S.P.F. 50. I avoid sun as much as possible but wear a large straw hat, and protective clothing when I can.

Sunblock is a thick cream type lotion. Sunscreen is a clear liquid.

We just had a round of comments on a similar thread. “What is better to use in the summer, sunblock or sunscreen?”

Trust me I do know WHAT THE HELL I WANT.

Fair enough Mikey. I suggest you get a really good tattoo artist. Tell him what you want, but listen to his suggestions.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out, and post some pictures.

Why???????

Very good question. Considering I went through puberty long before many of you were born, things were different back then. I was a “late bloomer” and got ridiculed by my classmates for a lack of body hair. It bothered me then but now I know that with tattoos, fine hair is a blessing. I wouldn’t be caught dead…[Read more]

Hair is fur.
Fur is designed to keep you warm.
Shed the fur, and you’re no longer as warm.

Arni, if I’m not mistaken, pubic hair serves the purpose of a lubricant. It keeps the flesh from making contact and causing a type of brush burn from physical activity.

What do you guys find better for you, spray or roll on?

I like the stick kind especially since the “invisible” kind came out.

I mean we will taken anyones money. But we can’t have any visible tats.

What I mean is that if they won’t let you show your tattoo I won’t give them my money. (FUCK THEM!)

I have swelling in my leg pretty much all the time. Usually it is hardly noticeable, some times much worse. I have been getting tattoo work done almost every two weeks on my lower leg. Now, the tattoo is progressing upward and the swelling is not near as bad.

If that steroid cream causes swelling, I’ll get some for my cock.

Sensational.
Congratulations!

I pretty sure that wouldn’t be a dry wrap but a wet wrap. When I dry wrap I use nothing the saran wrap traps in your own moister and no external moister is needed.

The redemption is used only in the actual tattooing as a lubricant to replace A&D ointment. It leaves your skin dry. Then the plastic wrap is used.

Wardy, I’m hot all the time too. I work in an office in a closed in cubicle with my own thermostat. I keep a night light under it to fool it. I get the room down to 66 degrees F.

I use Mennen’s…[Read more]

Thanks I will be taking very good cae of this one ;). Seeing as we are on the subject I would recommend the wild rose herb products, the ink balm in particular. I usually heal with bepanthen but will be using the ink balm in the future as it has aided healing this tatoo very well so far.

Awesome work! Great colors!
