Hi

You can have them covered but would mean the eyes would have to be much bigger and a solid use of colour.

You can always get a hankerchief across with a humourous msg and the eyes above.

Made me chuckle anyhow.

I have come from a family that all had gang/family affiliated tattoos and I refused because as far as I am concerned the first thing that happens is

1. The police know who to pick on even if you are not doing anything wrong.

2. The public are not dumb and will know/suspect it is gang related and won’t want to deal with…[Read more]

Hi and welcome

To translate the tree to tattoo (which will work very nicely) you will need to enlarge the leaves to stop them from becoming ink blobs in years to come.

Also that piece will not sit well on an arm – unless you have huge arms – as it will look tribal-esque in appearance.

Hi Joker

Once it is healed it is locked beneath the epidermis so you can shave over it no prob as you would need to dig down into the dermis to damage it – like majorly cut yourself.

I would say have a look at similar graphic design qoutes if you intend to charge or work out something with the customer.

You can always barter.

Personally it is not a risk I would take.

Hi Dee

I am well thank-you.

So since we are probably one of the best forums in the world – do we get a discount off your magazine subscription?

Hi

Well depending on the amount of detail bigger = better.

That said many simple japanese designs focus on 1-2 elements so yes should be ok as long as you don’t cram too much into a small area.

Looking forward to sharing that ink – cannot wait until midnight – I bloody hate fasting. :p
