Hi

Just thought I would step in for a moment.

The rules do say that any unlicensed discussion is disallowed.

If you are a licensed tattooist (or working in an area which does not have licensing, but can show the relevant studio etc) this can be sorted through TurboSatan for registering in the Pro Section.

Alternatively the Outlaw Tattoo Forum…[Read more]

Hi

It really depends on how big you wish to go with the tattoo. Obviously the larger the space the more detail and the longer the name you can fit into it.

There are a number of ways that your daughter’s name can be incorporated into a tattoo from having it placed within the shape of the tattoo (completely hidden) to having the initials put in…[Read more]

Hi

Alternatively join up on Outlaw’s Tattoo Forum for help.

Well the art skill is superb but as for the content I am with KH on this one…

From shiny necrophillia to wanton bestiality because her stalker moves off for a few months just really really did not cut it for me.

I love vamp films but this just made me want to hurl buckets. I even made the mistake of watching the second film to see if it was…[Read more]

Did I miss something?

Hi

Whilst it is very romantic I have seen loads of finger tattoos and they always end up the same – in need of serious care and re-inking.

The skin on the hands sheds very fast forcing the pigment to lose vibrancy and fade very quickly. They often require a touch up every 1-2 years. They are also prone to blow outs unless done by a very…[Read more]

Hi

No as stated the ashes are inert as the biological content is destroyed which would kill all known bacteria. The intact DNA is generally destroyed except in the cases of teeth.

Teeth can survive massive heat levels and bones to an extent which is why they are ground to dust before being added back to the ashes. Bacteria will have been killed…[Read more]

Hi Jade

Do you mean no outline as in impressionist style of shading/or pastel drawing style tattoo?
I think I may known artist who can handle it just wanted to clarify.

Hi

Even at the minimum size of 10 pt you have plenty of space for the qoute. You can afford to go a lot bigger but it really is a matter of taste on the style of writing.

As for the tattoo – it is a very much divided camp – I like text tattoos but many don’t – key thing is get what makes you happy!

Painwise – it is gonna hurt as it is direct on…[Read more]

Hi

Have you checked out the surfing alien artwork? It would sort of fit into that style or you could get some modern punk themes going.

Really need to know about your likes and dislikes as there is a lot that could be added to that piece.

Hi

I am at work at mo but if you search Hong Kong Tattoo Tour I hit a number of studios couple of decent gems in there.

Hi

Have you considered the demi-god Pan – he was the embodiment of hedonism in his day and also the romans based the bacchus orgies off this deity.

Hi and welcome.

Do you have any ink or plan to get some?
Hoping to see your collection or ideas soon.

Hi

Some very specific ambigrams were associated with the illuminati and free masons and a few other cults/free thinking groups which have come and gone both pre and post renaissance period.

Da Vinci used backward writing and ambigrams as part of his secret study codes but mainly these days they are there for the style and fun of them.

Don’t let…[Read more]

Hi

I have seen some where in the Polynesian style they have used images of animals such as water turtles and such and hidden the initials or name within the shell or body of the animal.

Others have had the gods or goddesses depicted with the names incorporated into the clothes/staffs/jewelery as part of the design.

It really is a matter of…[Read more]

Damn that is nice ink.

In all seriousness take a look at KH and then look at that grin on the sun.
I think KH has been immortalised on your arm! :p

Nice ink wear it proud.

Hi JEN

This is my point me and my wife have major differences in expectations and even cultural opinions she is from the Middle East and I am British and so we often found ourselves in conflict over sometimes silly but constant issues.

Since I am certainly no saint to live with we both agreed we would be upfront about it and be blunt about what…[Read more]

Hi

The colours could work very well. If I was to ink the skull and use blue I would opt for a lighter or silvery-blue as opposed to a dark blue so that the skull stands out against the greens and reds in a better contrast.

They main thing is not to get lost in a riot of bold colour but to pick out the details using softer shades to enhance them…[Read more]

Hi

The thing that concerns me is not actually about the tattoo issue. In my job I investigate fraud big and small and meet hundreds of ppl and they all have 2 common factors;

They will try to lie to me and they will try to manipulate me through a spectrum of emotions from tears to aggression.

This means we have to do a stack of interviewing and…[Read more]

Hi

The portrait of my wife from our wedding is also a freehand by a different artist who did it from the photo’s – again well checked out and reputable. But I guess all tattoos are a matter of trust 😀

Yes my artist did a mixture of drawing and freehand on my backpiece and it was the first time I used him.
That said he is a pro artist with over…[Read more]
