You can use numbing agents, BUT it makes the skin very rubbery for the artist and the pigment cannot stick as well. Most of the stuff on the market will push the ink out of the skin, and we all know what that will do, nothing but…[Read more]

The stretch means how tight the skin is pulled while tattooing, the right amount of stretch is key for proper needle penatration.

Once you find elements that are unique to you, then, (as TargetTattoo said), incorperate some symbolism meaning father into it.

Chlorine and other chemicals are very bad for a tattoo. Even though a tattoo looks healed after a couple of weeks, it really is not. It takes up to 4 to 6 weeks for the tattoo to be completely healed. Good Luck!
