I went back to the piercer and he said it was a metal allergy. We switched it out for plastic and sprayed it with the saltwater stuff a couple of times yesterday and the swelling is down and the pain is gone already. I should have just insisted on this a long time ago. I’m going to keep an eye on it though and make sure it keeps healing.

Its nothing that bad… a small amount of pus is all. I’ve had way worse infections other places. And I have surgical steel in. My ears used to get pusy with steel also. I had to get silver or gold. I think I should just go get new metal. And its not painful, just a little sore. And I have been soaking and spraying with salt water. And I was…[Read more]

A lot of companies still insist all tats and piercings are covered and hair is only a natural human color, especially in small towns…. it sucks…

I read through the thread where they called it body cheese. I’m pretty sure thats not it…. I still need to go see the piercer. I’d prefer not to see a doctor unless it gets bad since I have no insurance and that would be a large bill. Its not bad or anything, just annoying.

And I can post a pic but just wondering if you were being serious?

I bet that would hurt pretty bad. Very tender area.

Yeah. I didn’t realize it would be so bad.

shit… looks awesome, i’m diggin it a lot =)

Thanks. The more I think about it the more I really the concept it just really needs some tweaking.

Ok, I have a concept but I really want to know what you all think…. I am not an artist in any sense but quickly traced/sketched this together from a bunch of pieces. It needs work. It would all be in that Sailor Jerry/Ed Hardy style.

I got the skunk from here but would rather it be a cat… not sure how to draw that though. http://i232.photobu…[Read more]

Why not have a kitten or something of that nature pawing at the butterfly?

Any tattoo can be feminised take a look at Butterfly’s dragon tattoo.

Her’s is cute….

but a kitten? I want something a little less girly lol. Cats are what made me think of Ocelot though.

I sooo just had a thought…. every idea I’ve had up to this point was line art, or words, or something, and just wouldn’t work for what I wanted…. but, I missed an obvious idea thats always meant a lot to me and people have related to me in their minds and doesn’t seem to be real common…. an ocelot. Have it coming down onto my arm or shoulder…[Read more]

Thanks! Your blog is really interesting btw. I just read through the first page and especially enjoyed the article entitled “Tattoo Prejudice And…Religion”. I was raised with many of the beliefs you mention there and I had to over c…[Read more]

Thanks guys. When I got it the guy asked me if I planned on adding to it later… I told him no way and he just laughed at me and said yeah right. Well, I think he might be right. :p I’ve been looking at some of the work on here and can see myself wanting to add or get something else in color later. Some of the pieces I looked at are just…[Read more]

Wow, I really like that!! I’ve thought about getting a script one maybe sometime in the future but never seen a font I really like before…

Well I finally got it!

The outlining HURT SOO BAD! But the fill was no problem at all. Sleeping was not fun last night though because I normally lay on that side :p

Thanks for the info.

I wasn’t referring to waxing products though. 😀 I meant those creams that when applied, causes the hair to become brittle above the skin. After about five minutes you can just wash it off. It’s a quick method and prevents the stubble from having sharp tips caused by shaving. It shouldn’t do anything…[Read more]

I’ve also thought about something with a western theme or even just script

and I just thought this pic was so funny lol

that is too funny!

The other thing I’m worried about is if there’s too much detail it will be blurry and ugly in 10 years….

If it’s the face that’s the problem, you could have her back to the viewer, glancing over her shoulder with most of her face covered by her hair, maybe all you see is an eye.

I’ll keep thinking on this for you.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

True, I’ve never seen one like that though…

The flash that was sent wasn’t bad.…[Read more]

I have 2 nice pieces of flash for you. I will PM them to you as they are just a little risque, and not sure how the staff will appreciate that here.

Thanks
