Hi

By pubic area do you mean on the pubis (front of the pelvis) or directly above the genetalia?

Not had a tattoo there myself but did a study on the subject and the main issue is actually not the pain (it hurts quite a bit but everybody stated was bearable on the pubis but if direct to the genetalia I would def recommend some lidocaine numbing…[Read more]

Hi

I do not know him personally but he carries a good rep in many tattooing circles.
I have seen his work online before and it is very good stuff.

I am sure you will be fine although he won’t be cheap.

Hi Joker

I have for months been taking some meds many of which make you feel like shit and puke up but keep my blood count high.

I also have to have some injections after each session which are costing me £75 a shot as they are considered a ‘non medical necessity’ eg I do it to myself for cosmetic reasons.

The thing I keep telling myself is it…[Read more]

Hi

You could have both flags melding together beneath the tattoo.

Or have the USA flag with the Cuban flag added into the centre or the corner – black always looks better on a big piece of text like that so I would prob suggest the flags above or below.

Hi

First of all you have to remember this a ‘in memory’ tattoo so I would advise going against anything that would make it look gaudy or extreme just to be different.

There are several things you could add

You could have a dove or a favourite bird/butterfly etc resting on the cross or flying above it. If it was a lizard it does not matter as…[Read more]

Thanks for the bump peeps!

I also noticed a typo I need to fix 😮

I am currently testing a variety of products with my backpiece and will be adding to my fater care with the pro’s and cons I found with each one.

Hi

I hope this helps a bit..

Well it really depends what you want your tattoo to signify.

A lotus is used to represent life or the spirit of life. These would rarely be used in a scene that depicts death or suffering.

Cherry blossoms – represent the passing of life or time in a sense of fleeting passage.

Peony is used to represent honour or…[Read more]

I think that is a very nice use of colour.
Brings a whole new depth and perspective to your tattoo.

That has really made your tattoo shine.

It is missing something…

I like it but it has something that needs to be added.

Gave it some thought.

How about some shadow or drop shading to the letters or a cracked stone effect?

You could also add a border along the bottom.

Hi

Wind bars are a physical representation usually of coming storms the thicker the stronger the storm envisaged will be.

They are also often associated with wind demons who were thought to drive them across the earth with their breath.

You could go for a few coloured scales towards the ehad and face and have them gradually spread out down the spine and across the sides.

You are entitled to your own opinion – the same way I am entitled to mine. 🙂

It helps if you put some explanation why you feel that way – so the person being tattooed can take it on board and maybe add those changes.

I wouldn’t get annoyed by it ppl disagree with each other all the time – look at me and KH it is just different opinions…[Read more]
