To my knowledge, scarification is done with very sharp tools, so that must be branding.. although I’ve never heard of that and it sounds bloody painful!

You don’t see it?:

Wow, I hadn’t noticed that.. where does it vent? Just into the wall? 😀

LOL! Not trying to jinx it, but perhaps closing a circle with the three might just result in a fourth 😀

I gather you’re sure you won’t be needing to add names to that.

Yes. I was thinking that if you watch it in good quality on the computer, you can get screenshots of it from the TV show.

Welcome to the groups Zenma

Watch the show London Ink (available in a torrent near you).

I have absolutely no knowledge about laser jobs, but we have one laser technician in here and hopefully he’ll pipe in and can give you a second opinion. He works out of the UK, however, so you’re probably not going there any time soon 🙂

Unless you’re planning on dying soon, I’d say that is the wrong attitude. Ink is permanent, and that huge blob of black is a permanent blob of black that will outlive you.

That’s the thing though, I couldn’t find you anything cooler because I find absolutely nothing cool about tribal. That’s just my opinion, however, and if you like it then great for you.

Any decent artist could create something similar from pictures, yes, but any decent artist would refuse to create the exact same piece.

Why do you want THAT piece, though? It’s in no way specifically beautiful, nor is it cool. You are 18 years old and you’re planning on getting the biggest tribal piece I’ve ever seen, in a culture that is…[Read more]

Welcome to the group Shawn.

Of course it’s dark. It takes MONTHS to go down to the color it will end up being.
