Welcome 🙂 The flowers are cool – and I’m sure the text will be too – can’t wait to see some pics of yours when they are done!

Wow nicely done! It’ll look really snazzy with the shading. Definitely stick to black and gray, I think too much bold color can ruin these types of tattoos – makes them look *too* busy, ya know?

Grats on the nice piece, take good care of it! 🙂

Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate them 🙂

I do think the two will look nice, and the higher one will be more visible over so I can show it off a little more 😉

Thanks guys <3

hehe you know what I wanted to hear 😉

😀

omg I can’t believe that pic of the bad healing, that must’ve been really painful 🙁

Glad the retouching came out really good though, definitely something to be proud of 🙂

Thanks Wardy 🙂

Don’t tell anyone but I’m secretly planning for a second…. shhhh 😉

I think it’s cute 🙂 I’m a tattoo newb so I can’t make any comments on quality, but I like the design and colors 🙂

Is it hard to do the aftercare on a tattoo on your back or hard-to-reach areas?

Grats on your first tattoo 🙂 Hopefully the pain won’t be so bad for the rest.

What is the meaning of the koi?

oh too cute!! Love it 🙂 I bet that hurt right on the top though!

Thanks for the replies 🙂

Do you have more ideas you want getting done?

Not really. I was vaguely considering getting one of those lucky cats – you know, with the one paw up, one paw down – but not sure where.

Congrats, Thaela! I like your placement choice!! What does your husband think? I definitely think it looks quite sexy. You will have to get out and show it off at the beach or wherever as soon as you can, but don’t forget the sunscreen!! 🙂

Thanks 😀 My hubby loves it and has already asked when I’m getting another…[Read more]

Thanks 🙂 I know waiting for an appointment is normal. It actually worked out well timing-wise since we were at the cabin on the lake last weekend – and lake water, direct sun, and fresh tattoos don’t mix well.

Thanks Buttwheat <3

I think I liked it better in the black than in color, but still I don’t think it looks bad. I do agree about changing the yellow though, and maybe making 2 or 3 of the feet face in instead of out.. if it’s even possible, I don’t know…

Nice idea about the Chinese dragon for your wife, that’s sweet 🙂

It’s just like anything else in life – You get what you pay for. If you want to cheap out, expect to get less in return. Some people care don’t about the result as long as it didn’t cost them much.

Personally, I would rather spend top dollar and receive something stellar – especially when you’re talking tattoos, which is something that you will…[Read more]

Went for my consult today 🙂 I go back for the actual tattoo on August 1st, which was the soonest he had an evening appointment (so my hubby who works midnights can go with me). Which is good timing considering we have a weekend up north at the lake the last weekend in July so I don’t have to worry about getting lake water in it.

Anyway, I’m…[Read more]

Wow, I’m a newb but especially the portraits of people and the dog are really amazing! Very cool.
