..or the stomach and navel? 🙂

I don’t know what I’m looking at. Is that an actual (healed) bullet wound hole in a shoulder??

When you’re dealing with a tattooer that isn’t good enough, then yes.. this is quite common.

You know what they say… assumption is the mother of all fuckups 🙂

It took about 2 minutes to get into the forum to reply to this, but after that load time everything is running smooth. Probably nothing to think about.

Welcome to the forums Stacey 🙂

As far as the blow out, I don’t see any when I look at it? maybe its just the picture or possibly I’m just not experienced enough to recognize it…

It might help seeing a more detailed and close up picture, but I agree that it looks blown out. I´m glad you decided to move on and find a better artist to save this. Amazing…[Read more]

It can’t be lasered for several months, and the lasering will take a few months more. Don’t rush it and make it worse 🙂

The peony is a gorgeous flower, and could look exquisite in realism or edge-less/thin-edged color.. but those thick black edges take all the beauty out of it IMO, aside from not really looking anything like a peony.

Creo que aquí nadie entiende el español, y el sistema de traducción se ha roto, por lo que no obtendrá buenas respuestas 🙂

It’s still healing, and will be for another couple of months. Maybe you won’t even notice it once it’s healed. Getting it touched up, however, would mean making that line thicker. Do you A) trust him to do that properly, and B) want that line thicker?

I don’t know what flower that is either, but it’s a bit unhealthy. The lice have eaten far too much of the leaves.

First of all, definitely don’t to for the coloring session. Regardless of whether or not your tattooist would do it well, if you’re unsure then you shouldn’t go.

Personally I’d have that thing lasered off and get a new (better) one…[Read more]

FYI, it’s insanely slow right now.

Yep, that’s crap alright.

It’s difficult to tell for sure, but is any of that really grey? Seems like all shading is green-toned in that piece. Is that perhaps normal for that particular comic?

One thread is enough 🙂

I would like to still look at the photos. It explains what can be put on the resource side for uploading photos and a link to the image.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here, but let me make this very clear for you:

Any direct tattooing related discussion is banned.

If you proceed to discuss it anyway, I will…[Read more]

Sorry Josh, but I want to ask you to keep all tattooING discussions off the forums. This forum has a very strict no-scratchers policy, so any such discussions are forbidden outside of the Licensed Artists part.

As for getting ink to fall out faster, surely you and your mentor both have a list of things you tell clients not to do with fresh ink?…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply. I thought it would be very hard.
However, I have been searching around and found out about private medical tattooing and it seems like scar camouflage is common practice.
My scar as it is never matches my skin colour so at tattoo that helps match it most of the time would surely be better?
Also would a…

A skin-color tattoo is absolutely impossible. As you touched on in your post, your skin changes color throughout the year, and also depending on your health.
The color would therefore practically never match.

Not really faster at all. Still takes up to 10-15 seconds to load each page.

what’s wrong with it the way it is ?

Nobody uses it. There are no artists here willing to draw tattoos for people.
