Hi Joker

Have you considered a spirits/shamanistic or Conan style of back piece?

You could have a couple feminine of lesser spirits/demons wrapping around the legs (each leg could be placed on the back of your knee) rising up to the body and head of a warrior.

You could swap this around as you want and have bleeding lotus flowers etc.

If you…[Read more]

That is one sweet looking tattoo.

My Dear KH

I truly do protest at your slur upon our great television broadcasting indeed many of your poor quality and abundant filth that you call shows are a mere cheap imitation of our great producers.

Indeed where else in the world would you find a country so bold as to show a dirty old man being chased by a horde of scantily clad women at a…[Read more]

I have to correct you on a couple of points;

First of all when he says he could eat you right up – he meant it literally.

KH is a serial cannibal (or is mass cannibal? – he did eat 3 of his friends on a trip to New York).

Also the rumour he is human is false KH simply created himself (some suggest black magic was involved – but who would…[Read more]

Totally possible but you want an artist who specialises in portrait work to do it justice.

My dear KnightHawk

Once again you are pertaining fisticuffs against your betters – as an Englishman it will simply have to be pistols at dawn.

Of course been a Lord and Master I have my lackey to do the actual business of shooting… 😀

Seriously though

You want a butterfly then get one – as long as you like it who gives a damn what others…[Read more]

Hi

They don’t allow unlicensed tattoo discussion on this forum but check out Outlaw’s signature as his forum will give you all the help you need.

I will say even in practice you need a hard surface sterile area and gloves. (if you break the skin of a fruit you are pressing too hard)

Damn I would love to go but my wife won’t let me book the flight 🙁

I was gutted as I had just missed a convention on my USA tour but determined to experience at least one before I croak.

Enjoy and send pics.

Hi GMMAD

They don’t really allow unlicensed tattoo discussion on this site but if you check out Outlaw’s signature he has a forum that will help you get started.

As a starting bit of advice don’t bother with these kits they are often shite and of poor quality control.

Hi

If you type in tribal wolf or tiger on google images they will toss up several hundred images for you to look at and get an idea.

The main things to consider are this;

Tattooing is very addictive – do you really want to ruin the biggest canvas you have (your back)?

Also I am now in my 30’s and every person i know who got a tattoo between…[Read more]

Hi Jesse

If you have gentle beading of the blood rather than torn and wide wound this will produce a less gory style of wings.

Just tossing ideas around – keep us posted what you decide.

Hi Saiyanjin

I am more than happy to help but any chance you can post up a clear pic – cannot make out the design.

Hi

I have done a whole chapter on tattoo aftercare in my research it covers the various methods that people use.

If you want i can email it over to you (either the particular chapter or the whole ebook just PM me a throwaway address) it is free and for the tattoo community.

As it is you should keep the tattoo covered until the bleeding stops…[Read more]

Hi

I like the idea overall I think it would make a very unique tattoo.

You could consider having the butterfly wings as the wounds in your shoulder. The torn skin with the bloodied outline could make the winsg with the text written across the them.

Hi

Without seeing it you have 3 main options;

Full cover up over the orig tattoo.

Rework the tattoo but this would usually mean that it needs to be much thicker and bolder to cover up the blow out spread – can be a bit more difficult on text tattoos.

Laser lightening – Last resort really as very expensive and there is still a risk of scarring…[Read more]
