red is very hard to cover up, especially if you want a color pin-up. my suggestion is to get some laser sessions to lighten up the red before getting a…[Read more]

But anyway, it would be better off to cancel it if you have to than to try and fight through it. It will be worse for both you & for the tattoo.

If you are still feeling bad tomorrow, I would just cancel the appointment tomorrow because if you wait til Thursday when you are supposed to be getting the work…[Read more]

It sucks but it is going to be better for your tattoo and it will make the healing time go much better if you wait until you are not sick!

I hope you get better…[Read more]

It is just a pin-up girl in a swim suit on a beach at sunrise, obviously. Keep in mind though that this is a VERY ROUGH idea that would be presented to the artist & he would make necessary corrections and changes & pretty much turn it into a masterpiece. Now, that being said, I crop…[Read more]

I have just recently finished up my first and have yet to receive any negativity with mine at least not to my face, but mine is also houses a spiritual meaning so I don’t know…[Read more]

Anyway, thanks in advance for anyone who has ANY ideas!

However, I will state this, I highly recommend NOT getting it tattooed over. The reason because of the location it will be visible depending on the type of shirt you wear. I don’t know if you are a male or…[Read more]

The tribal is actually a single wolf-head just mirrored since they line up along my spine, my artist said in order for it to look even that it needed to be symmetrical on…[Read more]

I managed to get a slightly better up close picture of it, with the digi camera.

You can see more of the colors in it than the phone camera showed.

I’m just super happy with it so I thought I’d share! 🙂

Hopefully, after it starts getting filled in. 8/

As of right now, you almost cannot see anything or tell what it is. I hope it starts coming together and starts looking really good once the color is added to it. 😮

I like the bright colors in it and the fact that it looks like a well executed piece of art, but other than that I’m not a huge fan.

You might want to be sure that you really mean ANY comments welcome! 🙂

I wish my fiance didn’t have to be deployed next year for an entire year!

I literally laughed hysterically and it took me like 5 minutes to regain my composure in order to read it out loud to the others in the room lmao

I like the top one because it has lots of bold, clean lines and has a place where I would put his name (or initials) & his birthday.

See, if I did the bottom one I would have to do his name (or initials) across the top of it and his…[Read more]

Glad to see another person who appreciates tribal 😉 lol I have a somewhat decent sized tribal on my back, of course it is my first. So for a first one it is kind of big. lol

Would love to see pictures of your tats! 🙂

He likes trains & cars. He likes animals too of all kinds.

We don’t watch a lot of TV, so he doesn’t have a favorite tv character.

I thought about maybe doing a cartoonish type train engine…[Read more]

I do like Gsouder’s idea, that is a unique idea. His first word was shoes, though.…[Read more]

You are so right! I’m totally with ya on that one!

God, I’m getting old! I spend one night out and I feel like someone kicked the living crap out of me! 😮 I didn’t even drink anything except soda. WTH?!?!?!

My next ones are my face and the exact same place will do them :D!

I’ve noticed already with my hands done I’m getting a negative response… ffs why is…[Read more]

That isn’t entirely true either because I know plenty of women who gained only 20 pounds…[Read more]

Now on another note … um, PICTURES??? :p ;);) lmao

As far as the flowers, I don’t think those would have been my first choice for a mexican inspired tattoo just because orchids are not mexican flowers lol However, keep in mind that it is your tattoo and you can add anything you want to it.

If you can post a picture of the gypsy I can tell you if it…[Read more]

However, I’m wondering why his tat artist didn’t give him ANY type of care instructions!!! Sounds like a scratcher job to me. :confused: :rolleyes:

Do you have pictures of your current tats?

We spent about about half an hour discussing the colors and different ideas for the roses.

We are going to do the center rose(largest one) in shades of blue, fading from really dark blue to a very light blue almost a light a green.

The two outside roses we are going to do in…[Read more]

Who cares if anyone else would get it done on them. If you want it done, get it done!

Everybody is different and what they feel is meaningful to them probably isn’t going to be meaningful to any other person. That is the joy of being able to get tattoos is that it is symbolic to the…[Read more]

Yea, I did think about that!

After a lot of thought with a couple friends, and a few other people, I think I am going to go with a bright purplish one and bluish-turquoise one. 😀

I am going to talk to my tat artist…[Read more]

I can relate to you though with your artist taking your idea and turning into something you love. Cause my artist did the same thing for mine. I took him my basic, original thought and he created something I never could have…[Read more]

Pink – Grace & Elegance, Admiration for beauty and refinement, Sweetness, etc.

Lavender & Purple – Love/Enchantment at first sight, Regal majesty and splendor, Wonder & Impossibility, Enchantment & Magnetism, Opulence & Majesty, etc.

Blue – Mystery &…[Read more]

Yes, it would stretch during your pregnancy. Anything on…[Read more]

I think your best bet would be to speak to the artist who you plan to have do the work on it, and tell him about that experience and see what he has to say. He will know more about how to handle it if…[Read more]

I can’t wait to see how it looks once you get it colored in!

The artist is Lazlow @ Altered Images Tattoo in Oklahoma City.

Anyway, one of my spirit guides is a wolf. The wolf happens to be the top of my totem and my #1 animal spirit.

I decided on a tribal of a wolf…[Read more]

Other than his guaged nostrils, I see nothing wrong with his piercings/tattoos.

Honestly, though, it is his body. Whatever he wants to do to it, more power to him. 🙂

Thanks! I’m very happy with it! It isn’t even finished yet, and I’ve been wearing backless shirts to keep it from itching lol I have gotten so many compliments & I still have another 2 hour sitting before it is finished! 😀

I can’t wait to show it off once it’s finished!

I’d rather see this same piece in a lavender with it fading to an almost white down towards the center.

Make the center of it not so much of an orangey-red, but more of a yellow-ish gold with a HINT of orange.

I have to agree with you, it came out much better than I expected, especially considering how tense I was and the fact that I jumped almost every time he put the needle to my skin. 😮 I think I did pretty good for a 4 hour sitting though, with only 1 real break of about 20 minutes.

I was in quite…[Read more]

Also, if you see people walking around with tattoos, stop them and ask where they got it done at and who the artist was and then go and do research into that particular artist.

2. God, I am so freaking nervous about next wednesday! (getting my first tat)

3. I really, really hope it doesn’t hurt cause I’m a freaking wimp! 😀

Here is a cloud picture that I came across a long time ago and I think that would fit into your tattoo.

Just a thought! 🙂 Something along the lines of this type of cloud(s) 🙂

But in the end it is going to be permanently on your body, not ours, so pick the one you like the best! 😀

Can’t wait to see a healed picture of it.

I am sorry for your loss, I honestly cannot imagine what that has been like. 🙁
