  1. Headed to London next week for the first time in a decade: Stoked!
  2. I mean, yes that's cliche, and maybe something more poetic would work better, but it's your body, your tattoo, so get what *you* want.
  3. @Gingerninja I mean, I realize you're in a rush, but try tebori for the other shin!
  4. Okay, another session with Takashi! So happy to see some color coming in on the oni.

    I am Back

    congrats on the shop! my uncle used to live in Spring Texas. small world.
  9. and more to the point, if you're paying them and they're judging you... F*** em.
  10. tattoo artists worth anything have probably seen it all; I doubt they'll care other than the practicalities of tatooing a coverup on the affected areas.

    hello

    oy vey, this is going to be hard to pull off, both as a sentence and as a tattoo. what sentence are you thinking of getting? the example you give doesn't really work on two levels. at least, I don't see how it works.... then there's the aspect of tattooing letter work. you'll need someone really good at that. lastly, what language are you thinking? Italian or English? Latin? Would that sentence work in Italian?
  13. oy, sorry you had a bad experience I've actually only got traditional Japanese, which is drawn on. we brainstormed for like 2 minutes for my backpiece with 3 reference pictures so I really don't know what's normal
  14. sounds like it wasn't the experience you wanted. you didn't get the piece did you? I would suggest not going back if you didn't get the experience you wanted.

    Hello

    I once had a 3 hour session with e coli--didn't know I had it of course, and would definitely not have gone through with it if I'd known. I'd say email your artist, explaining and being super apologetic. If you feel better, go for it. Your body will recover.
  16. @rob323 what you're saying makes sense regarding symmetry. but for the time being I'd finish what you have. you've got plenty of time to "finish" it, right?
  17. you decide to do a backpiece and take extra jobs to pay for it over the span of a couple years, oof
  18. this looks absolutely normal for the healing process, and yes, that's what it's going to look like. no tattoo ever looks exactly like it did when it was just applied. I think you need to adjust your expectations for what tattoos can look like. enjoy it, it looks nice!
