    Hi

    You did get some of the best advice possible, go earn an apprenticeship and do it the right way.
  2. I'm no doctor, but I don't see how a chemical would affect the tattooed skin and not the surrounding skin. Anything is possible though. There was a recent thread discussing bumps on black ink. You might want to check this out. As far as a doctor, you're the only one that knows if it's bothering you enough to need a doctor's help.
  3. It sounds like you've had your mind made up as to the cause the whole time...

    Hi

    Are you an apprentice in a reputable shop?
  5. I'm going out on a limb here, but I doubt that many if any here have enough knowledge of chemistry to know whether that's what caused your problem. If you really believe that's what caused your problems, I'd still recommend trying a different artist for your next tattoo and find out which ink they use. It could be a cleanliness issue at the place you got your existing ones.
  6. A certain color certainly wouldn't cause an infection, possibly a reaction, but I wouldn't think that be cured by antibiotics. If this all happened from the same artist I think I'd try a different artist.
  7. Very nice. Don't think you could ask for a better fitting piece.

    Hi!

    Lots of research. Look on Instagram, read reviews on goggle, Facebook, etc., talk to people. Take your time and be sure. Go into the shop and check it out and talk to the artist.
  9. Listen to Dan. And welcome.

    Hi!

    That's exactly the thing that I'd do, making them more ridiculous based on who asked. Since they are something that mean a lot to you, that's probably not the thing to do. Possibly put them on your thigh. More room to make them a decent size and would be covered the majority of the time.

    Hi!

    I completely get you wanting it as a tribute, but if it where me, I'd put it out of plain view. Tattoos of Asian characters having become a running joke as of late because of so many of them being... well, enormous. Hope they come out well for you no matter what you decide.

    Hi!

    Joe, being new I don't think that you'll be able to post there until you have a certain amount of posts. If you go ahead and post it here people will respond. Also, welcome!
  13. Totally amazing! That's better than most the "tattoo models". 👍💪👏
  14. Thursday finally arrived and I got my 4th tattoo. Really happy it and already thinking what might be next. Many thanks to Mike Schlicher at Lake Erie Studio.
  15. Welcome Nikki. I'm nextdoor in Ohio.
  16. If you can't find it, why not just message him and ask. He probably has an assistant that would answer. Worth a shot.
  17. Geeking so hard about my next tattoo that I had to put a countdown widget on my phone. Come on Thursday.
  18. Yeah, I can't see how the 2 could be in anyway associated. I'm sure that there are whack jobs out there that might try, but we can't let those few ruin things we enjoy.

    Sorry I missed it. I'm sure that they're be another any time now. 🙄
  20. A closer, more detailed pic might help everyone see what's going on. It looks like a dark theme and that should be easy to expand depending on your taste. Are you going to the same artist that did that piece? Have you asked their opinion? Welcome too!
  21. @DanGreat work, tender spot. Her work is really clean.
  22. I find Norse legend and mythology really interesting and think it makes great themes for tattoos. I've never done a ton of research into it, but always like the runes and Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn. Looks like you've got a really good start. Welcome btw.
  23. Sorry, I stopped paying attention after the pic of Ryan. 😍
