Send some pictures when healing is complete. So far looks good, color and size are right on.

How was the level of pain?

I guess that would depend on how deep the artist went.

When I got my first one I was pretty anxious about getting it. (It didn’t hurt as much as I had expected) I got the appointment date correct but I left my fucking headlights on and I couldn’t start my truck to leave.

Welcome to the forum.

Pictures welcome too!

I never watched any of the “tattoo” shows untill channel flipping upon a girl wanting a tattoo with flames coming out of her vagina. I watched that episode. I did catch a bad tattoo cover up show too.

Has forum membership and visitation increased since these shows are on?

Shops in my area all seem to be doing well these days.

Check out new album: “Pant leg” under construction

Hey Bert,

This guy working on my leg really knows his shit! I gave him basic material and ideas and he “attacted” my leg with at least 5 colors of sharpie markers.

Keep at it.
Please keep us informed.

The Pin Heads from Back to the Future.

(1)Shawshank Redemption, (2)The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, (3)James Bond: A View to a Kill (Grace Jones!!!)

I was looking at the narrow part of the fish between the head and tail. I guess a good artist could surely draw it to cover the whole cat.

Please post some photos when it’s done.

They are good for a laugh. I thought of the asshole kid about 5 1/2 hours into my 6 hour session. Video had to be a fake (unless he really did have a pussy)

Hello,

Welcome to the forum!

I’m not going to pretend to be an artist that deals with this type of issue. I work in steel, copper, and brass.
Just looking at the general shape of both the tattoo and the koi artwork, I don’t see how the koi will cover up the cat.
I would suggest flowers of some type. Do you have any favorites?
Blues, pinks, and…[Read more]
