I have tipped 20% as well. I honestly think that’s minimum whatever you are doing when its customary to tip. Same when I get my hair done. I try to figure it out ahead of time, so I don’t have to stand up at the counter like a fool trying to do the simple math in my head… Especially after I’ve just been tattoo’d and I’m a little out in left…[Read more]

Wow that’s really cool! Congrats 🙂

Posting on a forum invites opinions – whether you like them or not 😉

That said, it looks nice and you like it so no worries, right? Welcome to the forum 🙂

She’s nice and helpful 🙂 And she’s a girl which helps me not feel so in the minority around here lol

Looking forward to the finished pics 🙂

It’s probably awhile in the future, but I’m thinking about getting a Maneki Neko cat on the left side of my lower back. It’s the Japenese fortune cat with one paw up. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneki_Neko

I’m a tattoo n00b, so I absolutely followed the all instructions I was given – didn’t soak, scrub, pick or anything. Even copied them onto my iphone so I could refer to them anytime. Was really particular and careful about it. The last scab flaked off a week later in the shower and the skin underneath was normal – not raw. Was in the shaded color…[Read more]

Well sweet cheeks, it had finished peeling and was not painful anymore. Of course it wasn’t “completely” done but believe me, I have a lot of experience with wound care so I can tell when something is mostly healed or not 😉

That said, even though it is healed now and looks perfect, i’m still applying lotion once a day or so…. probably don’t…[Read more]

My hubby and I have been married for 6 years (though together for 11 years), and he has always had a strong dislike for tattoos and piercings. I had my tongue and belly button pierced when we met, and I ended up taking them out shortly after since he wasn’t fond of them (my choice – he didn’t, like, “make” me or anything)… Didn’t bother me, I…[Read more]

Yeah maybe… Its hard to describe I guess!

For me, it felt like if you took an 18g needle, tilted it at a 45 degree angle, and raked it hard across your skin. Like a long hard scratch.

The pain for mine was worse at the beginning. Then it’s like your body goes into shock a bit and it’s not so bad after you get going.

As it healed, it felt more like an abrasion.

if it weren’t for all the usual reasons i’d get 4 sleeves done right now. If i ever do, you’ll know I’ve left my job, my in-laws are dead and my wife’s left me. But at least i’ll have some sweet ink

lol that would make a good signature quote 😀

And I just don’t understand *why* its addicting either! I mean, it hurt like a bitch…. There must be something wrong with me lol…

I like it, it’s something different than what a lot of people have. Grats on your first ink! 🙂

Lol I totally didn’t believe in the whole “tattoos are addictive” rubbish but it’s been a whole 2 weeks since I got my first and now I’m super excited to get another lol…

I stand corrected :p

Lawl

It’s like the people who video themselves doing something illegal and then post it on YouTube… only waaay more idiotic :/

If you want a Phoenix, and think that seems to fit how you feel the most, then get a Phoenix. Doesn’t matter if it’s cliche or whatever – the tattoo is for you to symbolize how you feel, and not for anyone else. You decide what ink you want to carry for the rest of your life. No one can tell you what design will feel right to you.

Just make sure…[Read more]

Lol don’t tempt me 😛
