Mon, 19 May 2014 00:50:03 +0000

In the FWIW dept, it basically took a year for my navel piercing to heal the first time. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to take it out and get it re-pierced a year later. The second time it only took about 3 months to heal, even though it was an “all new” piercing underneath the original. But I didn’t have infections to deal with…

Mon, 19 May 2014 00:01:13 +0000

I’m with the OP – busy sleeves (or anything else for that matter) detract from the tattoo experience. “Negative space is important” as the saying goes – but I say its CRITICAL. I enjoy a set of tattoos – sleeves or otherwise – that I can actually SEE without getting confused and mixed up as to what I’m looking at! I want to see the artwork, not a…[Read more]

While there’s nothing at all wrong with adding color; as a person who loves black & grey, this looks great as-is.

Its a bit hard to render an opinion as it isn’t complete AND its a bit hard to see through the “new tattoo shine” – but I like it. It certainly has great potential – and it has beauty, instead of the all too common “badass” look. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it…
