I at some point would like to get my little pony tattoos and based on what I see, I think he could put some really good detail into it….and there’s this tree with skulls at the base and cherry…[Read more]

Well, I’ve seen a lot worse. But it sure doesn’t make me want to run out and get a tattoo from him.

I like yours a lot better.

Yeah, sure…it actually looks sharper viewing on this forum thru my cell than it does on the computer, must not have a sharp res computer…..but yeah if I wanna get something super good…[Read more]

Sorry, I’ve promoted him so much before that I don’t want to annoy people with my constant advertising… But it has been a while, so why not? 🙂

His name is Jon Seymour (aka Jonny) and he is currently working at Dangerous Designs Company is Mountlake Terrace Wa.

His facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Art-of…

I don’t like the way the skull is semi realistic and the bones look like dogbones from a cartoon.

Thanks for opinion….I think the realistic look works and is cool with the octopus, it gives me the idea that the octopus is going thru the skull in the bottom of the sea, which most likely would be a realistic skull.

No but you can follow me on facebook 🙂 I’ve got all of my work on there plus stuff I currently have for sale as well as a link to my website.

Would appreciate it if you liked my page!

ok, cool, will go check it out

It’s something I may offer again with a different artist… You never know when someone may jump on sterile supplies, but I’d always do cash. I know if I was tattooing people, I’d be tempted to treat it as a sterile procedure because people can be so… icky. 🙁

Yeah that would be cool if someone else…[Read more]

I’m at least a 20 percenter. But I have gone to an artist that charges by the piece but ended up with 2 sittings. Paid in full and tipped full 20 percent the first visit. Tipped another good size chunk for the second visit, since I had taken up a good 5 hours of his day I felt like he should get something for his…

For me it comes down to what I can afford to tip. I try to give a minimal of 10% but would rather give 20 – 30 % My artist likes me so he always makes sure I can afford to give him such a generous tip. He basically knows I can’t but do it anyways and it pays back just the other day he did 3 hours of work charged me 2. I also…

I pay cash I’m about a creative as a turd in the toilet bowl.

That’s what my original intention of the question was….like how do you decide how much cash to tip your artist?

I usually just tip cash after every session. I know my artist told me not to worry about it after he did a touch up session for me but I did anyway then he offered to buy lunch for my fiance and myself whenever we got the chance which hasn’t happened yet. I’ve also given the shop something I created as I etch glass…

Cash tipper as well, and I was always taught good service warrants 20+%.

Now, since I do medical stuff, I asked my last tattooist if he would like any wound care supplies: chucks, skin prep, tape for sensitive skin, sterile gloves for especially yucky folks (I almost always have a wound care bag in the car), and he…

I think it looks just fine.
If it was a dinner on “Chopped” it would be picked apart by the judges, but they would still eat it all up!

Congratulations on a nice tattoo!

Thanks 🙂 ….lol yeah

LOL @ grammar nazis… Don’t get me now!

The tattoo is cute, but I agree, I can see the lines that are a little off. I would suggest maybe talking to a couple new artists but it is a cute tattoo!

lol ok…me and my hubby just don’t see it except for one corner she missed connecting but that can be touched up…..but…[Read more]

You’re = you are, your = a possession of someone. Not being a grammar Nazi just trying to help

sounds like you’re being a grammar nazi to me 😛 but I am one and the your/you’re thing bothers me.

It is always hard to see the bad with something as personal as your tattoo. I walked around with my first tattoo thinking it was the best in the world and absolutely perfect. Well now I see blown lines non even shading in it.

For example on yours look at the top line on the wings they are wonky. But as I said overall it is…

Very cute. Cute ‘n girly. I like the skull and ponytails quite a bit. I bet you’re spending a lot of time rolling up your pantleg to show it off!

I would find a different artist next time though because a couple of the lines are a little bit crooked, but I can see why your happy with it. Congrats!

Thanks and yeah I…[Read more]

Cool turned out good a few wonky spots on the lines but overall pretty good

Well that’s not a bad review, thanks 🙂

And “goo” is just the brand name for their line and it sounds like a…[Read more]

Aquaphor I use a night before bed and during the day I use Palmers Cocoa butter. Works great and no special orders. Sorry but I don’t like either of the skulls you picked out. I think you can get a much better one but thats just my opinion

Thank you for that and ok but yes that’s your opinion, I guess coming to this board…[Read more]

This is good but I don’t recommend the A & D ointment. I use aquaphor only for a day or so then Cetaphil, Aveeno, or Lubriderm.

Thank you for that 🙂

Do not use anything with the word tattoo on it. You are just wasting your money.
Aftercare is SIMPLE and doesn’t need to much thought. Follow your tattooist instruction sheet that will be given to you. or if you have chosen a tattooist that is a POS and fails to give you instruction s follow these: http://black13tattoo.com/c…

I always say watch the artist at work. See what kind of habits they have and how well the eye for color and detail are. Watching an artist work for just a few minutes will give you the best insight on if you want them to work on you or not. You want an artist who is going to give you their undivided attention and do you the…

To me this says: “I want to check tattoo off my bucket list, but I don’t really want to be stigmatized for having a tattoo so I’ll get one no one can see.” Lame.

definitely sounds lame. people must not know it turns to looking funky.

They turn coffee stain colour

sounds very unappealing

White was used on me but only for a few accents, nothing major.

Oh, well that’s cool, at least it’s not the whole thing

They don’t last and turn an ugly brown

Oh, well now it seems even more pointless than I thought.

most of my work is not from artist from my area so Local T shirts, Smoked salmon and since I knew Josh Woods was a big hockey fan I got him a jersey from my local WHL hockey team (hopefully soon we will have a real NHL team)

That’s cool

For the holidays I smoked a whole pile of beef ribs. (artist is from Texas) His son was three years old and didn’t have an electric train. He does now. I’ve taken food in for the shop. Crab cakes, burgers, Seafood stew, meatball subs, etc. (as well as a slow cooker for the shop) All freshly cooked and enough for him to take…

Just go for it. The pain is manageable. Start with the upper arm if you’re really apprehensive.

Thank you. I was thinking there or my upper calf. I really want to start with a girly skull and my arm is so skinny I’m thinking I’m gonna start with my upper calf.
