Looks good so far!

To the best of my knowledge it is the liquid soap used to remove the blue ink from stencils. (or sharpie markers) Green soap is a brand name, and it is green.

That’s it. It is used throughout the tattoo to clean excess ink off. It has a very distinctive smell, and if I smell it I instantly think “Tattoo!”

That’s a lot for a 16 year old. I don’t think I would have done it. Especially not that much. Maybe a little flower on her back.

The top part looks like a decent start to a sleeve, it doesn’t come together very well at the bottom to me. If it’s not going to be made into a finished sleeve I don’t like it at all.

It’s a win win for both of you. You get exposure if they put it on their website or Facebook, and they get exposure from your blog.

Tattooed Gunner: Tattoo Artist Interview: Stan from The Tattoo Shop in Albany, Georgia

Tattoo artist interview up. Some better pictures than the teaser I posted. Check it out!

I would at least add a footnote at the bottom with a link to where the pictures came from.

I think it looks good. I like it.

I couldn’t get a portrait done. Too many crappy ones out there, I’d probably end up punching the artist in the throat if it turned out the way some of those did.

If it was me, and I had an awesome grandpa like that, I would definitely get something old school. You can get an awesome old school tat that doesn’t necessarily have a bike in it.

You could start adding background, then other animals, birds, dogs, plants, trees, etc. Soon you’ll have a whole leg sleeve.

I’d say that pretty much covers it.

How much bigger are you wanting to make it?

Don’t make it tiny, it’s just going to look retarded. I would probably go with inner bicep but it would depend on what other tattoos you have, and what other tattoos you plan to have.

Welcome to the forum!!

I have my next several planned out, it’s just getting the money for them….

I’ll say this, if I ever smell green soap or anything that smells like it, it really makes me want one for some reason.

Peeling and itching is a normal part of the healing process. Keep doing what you are doing unless it gets red and infected.

Welcome to the forum.

Finding a great artist is absolutely the most important thing you can do.

Looks good!

Looks good! Glad you decided to get started.

Looks pretty good. My exceptions are with when the tattoo is done. I don’t get bandaged. I use the dry wrap method. Also I’ve been told MANY times, at least three weeks before swimming.

(you may want to cover the different aftercare methods. Not all shops / artist’s use the same one)

Thanks, I’ll have to research that,…[Read more]
