Glitter is a cute idea if you are wearing something that shows them off. I never thought about it before. What kind to you use?

Wow! I want in on the groupie club!

The aftercare instructions I was given said that you’re only supposed to use the ointment for a few days after getting the tattoo, then switch to a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer (I like Aveeno lotion). You got yours long enough ago that you should just be using lotion now. I find that the A&D ointment has an odor to it.

If its infected, it…[Read more]

Buttwheat, you crack me up. If anyone ever tipped me in fish, I’d be a bit confused 😛

But that’s why we love you <3

ugh the ones of people jumping from roofs make my spine hurt…

Looks great! That drip of blood looks so real, it looks like it could be from a real cut on your leg!

Why cheap out for something permanent on your body that you will have for the rest of your life? Its not like buying cheap beer that you’re going to piss away in an hour.

The. Rest. Of. Your. Life. Think about it.

The issue of a&d ointment is a big one. It has cod liver oil in it. So theres an increased risk of allergic reactio.
i personally never use the a&d any more.

I never knew this! That would explain the reaction I had with my last tattoo after using the A&D ointment. I even posted about it and I even got a response that…[Read more]

Personally I would not want a portrait-type tattoo that lacked depth. The whole point of a portrait is to be realistic, and you can’t achieve that…

Glad you had a good experience getting your first tattoo 🙂 Especially after waiting for so long to finally get it!

Be warned, they are addicting 😉

Best intro ever!

LOL I was going to say that!

Welcome to the forum 🙂

You’ve heard that tattoos are addicting, right? I didn’t think so either… But I’ve got 3 now 😛

To the OP, make sure she checks her junk mail folder. A lot of automated emails end up directly in the junk mail so you never see them come through the inbox.

I never understood why people needed to draw something and take to a tattoo ARTIST. The tattoo ARTIST should be the one drawing your tattoo. Research the artists style and portfolio and tell them the concept of your idea and have them draw it.

What does it matter who draws it, if the client is getting the design they…[Read more]

Love the Smeagol one 🙂

He could cover it with a non-stick telfa pad if its only going to be for a few hours.

If anyone discovers this option please share this info. This huge banner of the posters info just kills this new layout.

It’ll be something in the admin panel that is a blanket change rather than on an individual basis. Looks like it’s been fixed already though 🙂

You can change the skin though – go to your profile…[Read more]

I think it looks cleaner and I do like the layout of the general index more, though I agree that the avatar areas in the actual posts waste a lot of space. There’s most likely a setting where the points, level, etc that no one really cares about can be turned off.

Glad its back online 🙂

Thanks! I love it too! It was my last-minute, night-before decision to add it in- and my artist and I were both so glad I did. It really make the skeleton come to life. You’re a veterinarian right?

Yes 🙂 I have a couple paw print tattoos and a Celtic cat on my back that mean a lot to me because of what I do. I will…[Read more]
