Dude, I shave almost everything. Head, Face, Chest, Arms (from the elbow up), Pits, Small of my back, Ass, “Down There”. (I don’t touch the legs, though.) Body hair is f**king disgusting…ughh 😮 Especially excessive body hair. I get grossed out when I see those fat, balding, 48 year old…[Read more]

it was small, over priced (as seen on tv anyone??) and no one from the show was working that day!

Let’s not forget these are “reality shows” so..they are all staged, How they have Yoji as the “gormless apprentice”

I am sure he could probably tattoo as good as the rest of them it just…[Read more]

It was never crooked to begin with, smartass! :)….lol…just kidding. I do kind of agree with you on the placement. With that Kanji being in a prime location like that, I…[Read more]

Yes your arm will be fine the surface should have healed up after 2 weeks and I would like tosee some pics of the touch up.

It is in my album.

LOL…I thought someone would get a kick out of that. But yeah, like I said, it’s still going to be a month or so before I go walking around letting the direct sunlight hit it.

No, not at all. Well, ok, maybe I embellished a bit. I don’t avoid washing it altogether, but I don’t go scrubbing at it and treating it as if it’s completely 100% healed and that I can now go frolicking to the beach and in hot tubs with it and stuff.

But while the tattoos themselves don’t require meaning, are…[Read more]

was it yellow, white or red by any chance??
the resons are because some people have reactions to certain reds and yellows (my body…[Read more]

Anyhow there are 3 possible reasons neither are anything to worry about just yet.

Reason 1.

The tattoo is starting to form the protective crust (scab) so it will flood the area with antibodies and try and flush the foreign bodies from the skin. Sometimes pigments…[Read more]

And would you care to share that answer, Matthew? LOL…I don’t know what happened with your response. Maybe you hit “Submit” too early by mistake.

I then usually apply a sterile non-stick dressing for the first 12-24 hrs to make sure it has stopped bleeding and has clotted properly. Then let it breathe.

A loose fitting cotton or silk shirt should be enough to cover…[Read more]

I don’t blame him. While it doesn’t take me a full month, I give the actual healing process about 3 weeks and then I take another week just for good measure and then I start to go showing it off to people after that. For example, I’m looking to get 3 more (and final) tattoos…[Read more]

Just saying.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Yeah, I’m with you on this one. Like I’m really going to use ANYTHING from Singapore. Hell, no offense, but we already know how I feel about ANYTHING and ANYONE NOT from the United States.

Nothing even remotely NON-Sarcastic. God, I had a feeling someone from the OT would find me here. 🙁

Depends on the style of tattoo.

For portrait work or black and shade I would go to High Voltage (not just Kat Von D – they all seem to specialise in that field when visited).

That said though I would argue that Miami Ink has a much more experienced team and come a very close second in portrait work.

So overall I would…[Read more]

Once again, this is a tattoo website. You are making me lose the will to live, seriously.

Are you sure that doesn’t have to do with the fact that you’re from England? Again, you don’t seem to be grasping what I’m trying to get at with the whole…[Read more]

In response to your question – any person who washes their hands that number of times and feels the need to impose on others a regime of extreme sanitary health warnings is not a hypocrite – they are ill.

That’s a ridiculous analogy.

The boyfriend is telling the girlfriend to do something that is irreversible (at least for the foreseeable future).

A closer analogy would be that the boyfriend tells the girlfriend that she should tie her…[Read more]

Let’s say you’re a grown, 28 year old woman who has always had a head of beautiful long blonde hair. You’ve always gotten it cut and maintained it the way that you have wanted to and no one has ever said a thing about it, because there…[Read more]

I’ll bet ya’ right now you probably couldn’t even handle a TENTH of the pain that I went through getting it. And I’ll tell ya’ what! I’ll make an exception for you and be generous by not even holding the fact that you’re from England against you. 😉

True, and I think that’s pretty much the general mindset of my wife’s family in this situation. Kind of the thought of “Look, just make sure to keep them hidden until she’s gone and then you won’t have to worry about hiding them anymore”, but…[Read more]
