Hi

I know that Eternal Images do/did(?) have an artist who specialised in Maori and Mayan style tattoos.

I don’t think they were native but did some fine work.

67 Boothferry Road, Goole, East Yorkshire, Tel: 01405 766691

Might help you.

Hi

If it is flash work most artists will charge for a set piece.
If it is custom they tend to charge for a session usually between £65 to £85 per hour.

A piece I am having done on Weds is being discounted at a £5 an hour because I am travelling (cost of the travel over a 3 hour session) and prob because I am also spending a couple of grand wi…[Read more]

Bah!

Who needs sunlight when industrial pollution gives me all the colour I need – I am a fine rusty colour from all the acid rain!

Hi and welcome
What ink are you considering?

Feel free to post them up as concepts and we can help as many of us have been through the early ink mistakes and will be happy to try and help you avoid the same errors.

Also it might help you and your parents to have a read through my free e-book that covers the basic questions on tattooing, what…[Read more]

Hi

It will look well when it is healed.

Are you having the white stars added after the blue has healed up?
You could always add the motto in a band above of below the flag as well.

Hi

You should be wearing a min of 30 regardless if you are sun bathing but yes you would need it each and everytime you go out for your tattoo.

Even with suncream sun exposure knackers ink and whereas tattoos can go as long as 15 years without a need for a reshade with serious sun exposure you can prob cut that in half (even with wearing sun…[Read more]

LMAO

Actually I thought the robotic piece was quite interesting!

Hi KH

That is part of it. He openly refers to himself as a ‘white warrior’ and ‘Son of the 3rd Reich’ etc – I pointed out actually it is more appropriate to be called a Grandson of the 3rd Reich – as he is prob close to my age 😉

What offends him most is I volunteer for an outreach charity that helps the vulnerable who are in need of support…[Read more]

Hi

There was a further interview where she admitted that she was scared what her father would say when she saw his reaction and lied. 😡

To be fair if I was the artist I would have turned her down (I know there is the ‘it’s my body argument’ but damn common sense would have said trouble brewing a mile off).

Hi

Please don’t get me wrong – I am from the UK and our surname is classic English such as Hull, Cohen, Smith etc but the style of it was across the shoulders was to signify to others which ‘clan’ you were a member of so for example;

My uncles were pretty damn bad and everybody knew the ‘Cohen brothers’ because of the back tat and knew from that…[Read more]

Hi Tana

It is from another blog where I submit to (non-tattoo based) – it does attract crazies but this one seemed to take a real shine to me.

I think they got disheartened as I don’t have a home landline and if I don’t recognise mail I send it back to sender un-opened.

The usual way is to send me tons of offensive emails and apparently I am…[Read more]

That is looking a really sweet piece of ink.

I can see the funky interpretation on the roses that they are known for in their style.

Hi

I am prob not going to be liked for saying this but…
Why do you want a tattoo that screams ‘gang banger’ and ‘prison’ to any who see it?

Having grown up with family who were career criminals they all opted for this type of ink as well as the teardrops and cobwebs, praying hands etc.

I am not against it but been honest that is how a lot of…[Read more]

Hi

Some very nice work there.

Well I would say it is black and shade portrait work mostly inspired by stained glass art.
It also has Far Eastern influences and I would simply place this under the ‘Custom’ label 😀

There are some types of tattoos that can be placed under a label such as old school or tribal but with a custom piece like that it…[Read more]

Hi

It can be covered with a tribal but you would have to go big and prob cover the whole upper arm and chest and/or back as section as well.

That will take some serious shading over but it is possible to do.
Unless you split up with her I would suggest working on some highlights.

It is cheaper and again it is not a bad tattoo at all.

Hi and welcome

Just make sure that notorious translates into 100% sterile and a shit hot artist and you will be fine.

You the guy with the tech know how from Outlaw’s?

The lifespan of uv ink is around 5-7 years some last as short as 2 others last 12 years before they stop glowing.

You can keep inking over them but you run the risk of having the tattoo going lumpy as the pigment is not the same as normal tattoo inks.

It can also scar a brown colour as well.

I actually wrote how I really feel about this stuff…[Read more]
