Are you talking tattoo machine or guitar machine?
Are you an apprentice tattoo artist?

Tattoo. Im looking to improve, and the next step is playing with tattooing fruit. I want to build my own machine as I have a full metal working shop in my home, and I after looking at the kits I believe that I can build a higher quality…[Read more]

I’m with the bunch here that think tattoos should be “taylor made” for you, not “off the rack” so to speak. Koi fish tattoos can be beautiful, but there are millions of them. Bert used the barbed wire tattoo to make the point.
Do you want your tattoo to illustrate who you are? What your interests are? What you want out of…

I can’t find Bepanthen over here in the West. I’m checking a few internet options.

It’s pretty much the same as A and D it’s just diaper rash cream.

If I rub it into a nice tattoo will it make it look like a shit tattoo?

Haha, errrrrr I hope not!

Keep us posted. I’m guessing it will clear up within a week or so.

Finally cleared up I think, used hydrocortisone cream on it around once or twice a day. Learned my lesson when it comes to using the tape though.

Unfortunatly some people have to have a story for everything, not just tattoos. My first was a lizard because I thought it looked cool. As work progressed I was reminded of lizards in my past and a story evolved (mainly because I’m a chronic bull shitter)

I think the best part is trying to come up with bs meanings for…[Read more]

I’m well versed in “Chuck Wagon” cooking, and I think there’s still some horse shit on my Nocona lizard skin boots.
But I need ready access to a beach. Preferably with palm trees and white sand.

Ill stick to my rockin chair on my porch with my cigar and a beer whilst looking and masterbating over my 1965 ford f100 truck.

I was instructed to keep my tattoo wrapped for 72 hours, but wash the tattoo every four hours or so and re-wrap it wigh new plastic wrap.

I’ve never heard of a reaction from medical tape. An irritation perhaps, but not a reaction.

Some time ago I had a reaction to a purple ink. I don’t recall the brand. The artist said that that was the only ink he had of that brand. He uses EternalInk almost exclusively. No other problems until last Tuesday. I developed a rash or hives, and my leg is still swollen on Sunday.

Thanks, I go back in a couple weeks to get some more work done. Hopefully it starts turning yellow soon because a big part of what I am getting will be yellow and if yellows just doesn’t work with my skin that would be a huge problem. But as far as I know he may have used…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum!

If you like a tattoo design, go for it. There will always be those who love it. Just as there will be those that hate it or think it is stupid.
You should probably talk it over with your boyfriend.

He wouldn’t be stepping on it, he would be leaning one foot on it.
