Hi

Yes as stated it has been done and is a relatively simple task as long as the ashes have been produced through a furnace and cremulator. No disrespect meant here but I will run through a few things to consider.

The reason for this is that the ashes will contain bone fragments that contain human dna and so would need to be ground down to…[Read more]

Hi

The area is called the pubis further down it is the vulva.

You can get it tattooed and yes it will hurt – how much depends on your pain tolerance but expect it to be a cat scratch upwards.

The main issue is about any hair. You should wax the area a few days (not just before as can damage skin area) so that it is free from hair growth (if…[Read more]

Hi

The high UV from the sunbed(and possibly bad linework??) has caused the pigment to spread from the pockets of scar tissue in the skin.

This is because UV breaks down skin cells which results in menalin being used to protect the area – causes a tan.

It is also the equiv of tipping a mild acid on a new tattoo.

The bleeding of ink is known as…[Read more]

Hi

Personally I really like religious tattoos.

This is a nice site for religious tattoos in general

The idea sounds good but a few things to consider ;

Trees are quite difficult to master in detail so get an experienced artist.

Are you going to have the words burned into the tree and…[Read more]

Hi

Whilst those are some awesome piercings the tongue split and piercing together made me really wince. 😮
How was the pain on the throat tattoo?
The vibration must be pretty uncomfortable?

Hi as Cornish has stated…

The reason you can feel the tattoo is because the black ink is actually solid pigments taht were carried by a carrier solution and injected into your skin.

The pigment is held in place by tiny pockets of scar tissue which holds the microgranulation.

When it is hot our body carries more blood to the skin surface to…[Read more]

Hi Rob

Welcome to the forum.

If you want to see how some lotus flowers can look check out my backpiece (search 11th sitting thread). I will send you some links after work for phoenix designs/inspiration.

Just to raise a couple of things;

Yes it is nice if ppl do post in the right threads but there is no need to crucify a newcomer for not doing…[Read more]

Hi

You are looking at around an hour’s worth of work if it was just outline – but I would also recommend some shading or colour as the tattoo may look a little bare/empty.

If you are going abstract I would suggest thickening the lines a little it is all personal taste.

As for cost it will prob be around $90 -$120 that said I always say carry…[Read more]

Thanks it is great to have it finished.

It took around 32-33 hours in the end time just sort of flows and we never tended to have much more than 3-5 mins break per session as most were around 3 hrs at a time so just wanted to crack on.

Personally I have found that 3-4 hr sittings on a big piece are just much more managble. I am just a big old…[Read more]

Hi Gsouder

Hi

The cause is usually clogged pores in the skin also when you have a wound the skin around the area can be become irritated and inflamed.

The subaeceous glands in the hair pores also work harder (these provide a fluid secretion that keeps skin supple). If they get blocked this can cause the pore to clog and lead to an infection which is what…[Read more]

Hi

First of all it is not a bad tattoo and from the picture seems to be well executed.

Why would you want to get rid of it? Friendship is an important quality in life and whilst friendships evolve and sometimes end they are a constant equation to our existence.

Hi

It very much depends on the following factors;

The style/theme of the tattoo(s).

The size of the tattoo(s).

How much you have to spend on them ( exceptional artists are not cheap).

Also are you willing to travel to another state or even another country?

Let us know more and I am sure we can make suggestions for possible artists meeting…[Read more]

Hi

The advice I can give is to look very carefully at the copyright contract of any image/photoshoot that you do.

The simple fact is many photographers will own the image and continue to make money from it after you have been paid a fixed fee. Also make sure there are no tie in clauses that state can only work for them for X amt of time unless…[Read more]

Hi

My full backpiece was 30+ hours and was $4k (from sterling to dollars). This did include a generous tip. Also take into account time lost from work travel costs etc.

Something like that on your back you are talking a min of 15 hrs most prob around 20-25 depending on the level of detail.

On the spine it will hurt like a bastard but you can…[Read more]

Hi

Not heard the band but will check them out.

If you had not told me that it was a band image I would have just thought it was a tribal-style spider (flash work).

Nothing wrong with that but wouldn’t have had any serious reaction/thought about it.

The translucent writing will not work brilliantly on a solid black tattoo – you could have light…[Read more]

I think we all just need to give it a chance…

You have to get together and ‘elect’ me as your world chairman.

Chairman Hull has a real nice ring to it.

I will then bring in a simple rule of any infraction = execution.

Dog barks for 10 mins – shoot it.

Car stereo blaring early hours – crush the car with the driver in it.
