Ah, okay. I can believe both places are very painful indeed.

My biggest concerns today, since I seem to be heading for 4 full sleeves, (should you choose to call the leg pieces ‘sleeves’) are basically those 4 (8) places.. elbows, knees and the insides of both. It’s the second thing after money to stop me wanting sleeves done 🙂

Umh… ditch? Whazzat?

Personally I think if you’re going with flames, make them flame colored… not pink, gray and cyan. Appart from that, I don’t like the tattoo one bit. The flames are… ugly. The top left one looks more like a human running than fire.

I wasn’t aware that there was a white and also a UV white – how interesting… I am finding it all hard to visualise.

Well, there are several UV colors available… I just assume there’s white in the mix. Although, come to think of it, maybe an UV White would be too dull without the blacklight and would show even less…[Read more]

Sorry for your loss 🙁

My sister has lost a few babies (it’s a sad medical thing) during pregnancy over the past 2 years and through her I understand a little of your pain.

Personally I like the snowflake idea the most, but I’m wondering why you’d want it below your bellybutton. Is it a tattoo-over-the-womb concept? It’s just that if you want to…[Read more]

One thought… will UV White fade like the normal White does? Would using UV White perhaps work better and give a more permanent result?

At people in general, but at you yes, at this time.

YOU believe they’ll burn in hell, while others (me included) wholeheartedly disagree. Religious talk ALWAYS gets really hot and really personal and really obnoxious and destroys otherwise pretty good places. I’d hate to see this place fall into that pit.

Can we please leave the religious zealotry out of these forums? I kinda like them and don’t want them polluted.

Since a Koi is a relatively common tattoo, there should be examples of Koi in their portfolio. If there aren’t any, IMO you should find a different artist.

My opinion might be skewed by my general dislike of tribal, but I agree that this could look really wicked if it were done in some nice fading colors and shading.

But what you’re saying about the indecision strikes home for me, because it took me a few years to get my first one going, and that one wasn’t even one of the ones I had been planning…[Read more]

i have a tribal tat on my bicep…it looks good on my wakeboard and cute in my little black dress.

As the saying goes, ‘pics, or it never happened’ 😉

My 2cents worth:

A single lonely tribal tattoo taken of a rather masculine character in a computer game, placed on a bicep, brings my mind to thinking of what in Iceland are called ‘trucker dikes’. Dunno what they’re called in English. Anyway, thinking of it, I picture a large woman in comfortable shoes with short cropped hair, and she can most…[Read more]

I wasn’t bashing anything. I was making an observation, and a pretty accurate one.

Well that explains that then 😀

It looks like 6 different people drew it on the foot with a sharpie, and then someone inked into the sharpie lines.

Although the constellation is made up of certain stars in certain sizes and of certain designs for a reason, I guess a constellation is still a constellation if the star designs have been changed.

But I worry about the hypocrisy as you yourself pointed out. You want to honor the south by getting a southern cross, but at the same time you don’t…[Read more]

Go big, and make sure there’s a dragon there.
