    Hello

    SStu replied to phosphoenix's topic in Initiation

    let's see what you're coming up with!

    That piece doesn't really fit into any particular style aside from neo-traditional, which is a broad term used when any artist's personal style is varied off of one or more other styles. There is a lot of Japanese in there, but the artist has taken it off into a new direction. You're going to have to find an artist whose style you like and let them do their own interpretation.
  5. SStu
    Yeah, I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out.

    As long as we're not talking about a new tattoo (healed at least 4-6 weeks), sunscreen is how I go.

    I'm not familiar with any Japanese specialists in Minneapolis or West Coast Fla. There used to be a couple in the Miami area and Chicago probably does, too . . . are you willing to travel?
  8. SStu
    and I was just the opposite, lol.

    This'll probably revive the thread "what's worse - lining or shading?"
  10. SStu
    Yes, that's not abnormal for work that's less than 4-6 weeks.
  11. SStu
    No - I'm just talking about how the ink will tone down from bright black to flat, dark grey.

    Pleased to report I was able to retire this past fall . . and that meant feeling comfortable about FINALLY getting my forearms done. Fully healed now so here they are: Artist: Randy Muller, Eye Candy - New Orleans
  13. SStu
    Very nice!
  14. SStu
    Yep, healing is 4-6 weeks and it'll be months before the ink fully settles in and the blacks aren't quite so dark and bold. Everything will tone down a bit.

    a few laser sessions on the initials would open up more possibilities . . .

    Tattoo

    all of the satanic references that I know regarding stars are those encased in circles.
  17. SStu
    66 here. Also, the farther away from your heart usually means longer healing. My ankles and feet took several weeks.
  18. SStu
    And my 1st experience was like that, and the bubble of ooze just shrunk and dried. After 4-5 days I just carefully removed the cover and it all washed away nicely.
  19. SStu
    Yeah, I leave the artist's wrap on for the 1st night. Unwrap the next morning and clean with anti-bacterial soap. Let it dry for 30-45 minutes and then saniderm it. 4 days later I peel it off!
  20. SStu
    or just cover your body in tattoos, in which case minor imperfections are basically not ever scritinized! 🙂
  21. SStu
    sternum is the worst. and some of that could be bruising, too.
  22. SStu
    only a minor sparingly amount, if any. Air dry is how I'd do it. And it's going to remind you it's there, too. Every time the skin stretches in that spot.
  23. SStu
    yeah, that tattooist is pushing off his heavy handedness on you. Pure bullshit.
  24. SStu
    only 6 days in? doesn't look abnormal. let us know how it's doing in 3 more weeks.

    Finished sleeve

    Nice work. I like surrealism.
