Hi

It is certainly unique – I would personally thicken the lines a little so it looks bolder and the space just below it has room for something that could be linked to the above tattoo.

Very strong msg though I like it.

If you add the image to photobucket or image shack and reload it.

Otherwise paste the address between the img’s and search on tool bar it shows up as a wolf.

Quite a nice tattoo as well.

That is one damn funny cartoon.

My wife was drooling over the second one so I said I would mail it to her manager as a proposed screen saver lol.

Hi

The white should be along the curve of the waves just to offset the black.
Again it is small stuff the actual design is fine and as already stated they do lighten with age.

Hi and welcome.

That is an interesting piece of work you have had done. What is your second one going to be?
Have you considered adding to the first with a bit more shading and detail?

Hi

There are several things you could add without making it huge.

You could go for a celtic knot around the ink.

As suggested stars or comets etc

Could have some fog or wind bars (or general shading added to expand it)

You could always have shadow drops added to the tattoo.

Scrolls can be wrapped around them or just add some more copperplate…[Read more]

Hi Derry

I have done a piece in my blog on how branding works.

As for legality it is a grey area if you brand yourself then that is seen as a self harm. If another person brands you (even with your consent) this can be interpreted as inflicting a grievious or life threatening injury.

EG If you get a brand or cauterisation and it gets infected…[Read more]

On reading the content of them I have seen more inventiveness from spastic roadkill.
I guess that is what a diet of sweets and internet porn is doing to people out there.

Hi

It really depends on what sort of laser was used but it is common for peeling to occur by the third session as the pigments are slowly broken down and it takes time for the surface skin to react.

However some people begin to peel within a few days it really depends on the intensity and the type of laser used such as q-switch etc.

As a rule…[Read more]

Hi

First of all it is not that bad – yes it is very heavy shading but with some white highlighting along the edges and fine outlining at the edges of the tattoo it will look a whole lot better.

I keep saying it but ppl really need to check a portfolio before you let anybody near your skin.

It can be fixed but avoid creams like wrecking balm et…[Read more]

That is a great mask you have had done.

Nice piece of work.
How long did it take in the end?

Hi

If you want my personal advice save up enough to do 3 hour sessions as it will take around 3-4 hours to outline a half sleeve by a decent paced artist.

You can do it by the hour but psychologically I would say it is better to do bigger slots and fewer sittings as that way you are not worrying over having part done ink.

Also if you take your…[Read more]

Hi

You will be fine just wear a baggy T and it will be enough.
Tattoos are very resilient as long as you do not pick or constantly rub them.

There is always your chest or thigh.

However if the artist is drawing it up they will shape it to fit your calf and a decent sized calf will hold the tattoo very well.

Post up when you get it done.

Hi

A piece like that screams chest piece to me – to do it justice i would do it big across a chest panel (pectoral) otherwise you can just as easily fit it on a tricep (upper arm).

It really depends on how comfortable you are with the size of it. The bigger it is the more detail you can add.
