One word of advice though that I think doesn’t get mentioned enough….. If you have a long sitting don’t drive after.

That’s actually one piece of advice I’ve never heard before, but makes total sense. Thanks for that.

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it dude 😀

The most common advice I’ve ever seen and heard, both here and other places, is never use Vaseline products on tats.

No idea what that means, but i’m guessing you’re here for spam reasons

Yeah, considering the spam links in it’s signature, I’d say you’re spot on.

Understood, thanks.
Don’t want to pry into personal things. Just wasn’t sure I understood correctly.

A friend of mine has some serious breast issues and I think she would probably kill for a free salvation to the problem. She might just be interested in checking out that site.

So you got free boobs sticking out of your top but are worried your family has problems with the tattoo?

And no, this is a genuine question, not indeded as sarcasm or a joke or in any way a negative remark towards free boobs.

Wow… that’s not an easy one at all. I guess Dave is spot on.. a sun, or some sort of star or a rune if you’re into that sort of stuff, would be your best bet. It’ll always be very loud though. Maybe Laser is your salvation :S

Yeah, you’re probably right that to do the big montage I might have to use the whole leg, or a back. The back’s reserved though, for either the Phoenix or the Dragon (All depending on what I decide on in the end).

And yes, I believe the tattoo would look good and I’d probably just maintain it every 5-10-20 years to keep the colors fresh. I am…[Read more]

that way you wouldn’t get all the new hair coming through a healing tattoo so quickly

Is that so? Would waxing before a session (a few days before I guess, else it would all be so raw and sore) be better for us furry people? Would there be fewer white ‘dots’ in the tats if the skin healed better before the hairs started…[Read more]

Well, the reason is kids… in a way. In some ways, I’m really just a great big toddler :p

I realize that this is a pretty odd tattoo idea, and I doubt many (men at least) have had similar done to them, but it’s strange and quirky and bright and fun, some of which I am and some of which I’d like to be :p
It is also a nice counter-balance to the…[Read more]

as for price i have no idea over there .

Well, I was wondering how much it would cost over there 🙂

the lighting in the portrait is a tad too harsh and makes your arm look deformed !

Maybe it is, and she was trying to hide it but YOU brought it up :p

I think that joke comes from this picture, which I’ve seen floating around the internet from time to time for the better part of a decade. 🙂

Maybe I need to think this through.

Ifi you ever find yourself thinking this, you know it’s true 🙂

In theory, assuming you don’t have a ‘real’ flash, any softbox modification on your flash could help. A softbox is basically just a thin film of white material that diffuses the power of the bulb and spreads the beam as well. Again in theory, that would mean that there would be less gleam off any liquid on the tattoo.

I have never tried this…[Read more]

I have to agree with most of what’s been said already.

My first (and so far only) tattoo was not the first tattoo I ever wanted.. if that makes sense. I have been planning to get tattooed for years, and for at least 2-3 years it’s been at the stage where I’ve had several designs and I just can’t make up my mind on where each should go and how…[Read more]

I’ve been thinking about this myself and since I am quite hairy on the chest I’d put a portrait somewhere else. I wouldn’t want to hide my daughters face in heavy brush 🙂

Just call and ask him if he’ll do it.

As to why snow makes a difference, I can’t fathom.
