    Yo

    Welcome from Houston. Last tattoo was done in ATX.
  2. Welcome! In a nutshell: Understand the different styles in tattooing Educate yourself to realize the difference between an average artist and a great one. Find the great ones. If necessary, be patient and wait in line.

  4. @chrisnoluck - Hadn't seen your Mickey Rat before. Love it. I'd also love to see some of the ladies' expressions when they walk up behind you for the 1st time . . .

    Hey

    welcome! and by the way, my now 27 year old daughter is a 10 year Leukemia survivor - and that after 5 years of treatment. Cheers to your path!!
  6. I sat for 2 hours Saturday while Randy Muller drew on my back. He transferred the rough sketch to paper and will get started on the full detail stencil. Hoping to finish all the outline during our 1st appointment - Dec 3rd.
  7. If you're not already - check out Tattoo Museum's Instagram page. Hank just posted more than a dozen fabulous photos!
  8. Welcome. Are you a bearer or a searcher? If bearer - send pictures!
  9. I am in 7 steps connected to your dog.
  10. If she wants realistic then she should contact Nate Beavers at Nate Beavers : Tattoos : Page 1 If she wants true traditional then she should really travel to Austin, but Scorpion is about as close as it gets for traditional or as good as it gets for stylized for Houston.
  11. Colors will be darker initially. The real fading won't take place until your body starts to absorb the ink. Mine took 2-3 weeks before it started showing up and 6-8 weeks to be "finished" from that particular session. Avoid infection? Don't mess with it, let the blisters pop on their own. Keep it covered and wash it a couple of times/day. I covered mine with non-stick gauze until the blisters dried up.
  12. that's for that new healing method called "spooning", right?
  13. welcome, and yes - always credit your artist!
  14. my suggestion would be to take your time and research artists in/around the area you are in and figure out who is doing the work you like the best. Then, if you're still void of ideas - consult with the artist to see what the 2 of you can come up with.
  15. Not quite as common as a Tibetan Skull, but they've certainly been around.
  16. I hope this link works . . . Unbelievable Skeletons Unearthed From the Catacombs Of Rome | Photos - ABC News
  17. but you're not REALLY cool until you've done both at the same time!
  18. I happen to like well done, intricate lace-work on the ladies.
  19. and many are not actually into art at all - but only into the lifestyle. - - - Updated - - - Great 1st tattoo!!
