Decided to get this done on my next trip to Florida in November so my brother can be a part of it. He has no tattoos and has been considering getting one himself. I found these reference pictures online and placed them on my back to give him an idea of what I wanted and he said it would work out. - - - Updated - - - He meaning the artist I decided on, not my brother.

I don't think that is just the women. I have a friend who's husband is constantly being hit on, right in front of her. As if this guy couldn't possibly be the faithful type. One waitress practically pulled out her boob to show him her tattoo. He put up his hand to block the view and said, "That's nice, now get my wife her pie."

Tegaderm is pretty flimsy. I think he is hell bent on using duct tape anyway.
-
I'm just not sure what the mixture of the adhesive and salt water/chlorine water would result in. It may shred up your healthy skin.
-
No, I wouldn't use duct tape. There are a lot of waterproof tapes out there specifically for wound care. But it sounds like you have it figured out now anyway. Good Luck
-
could you use a waterproof dressing to cover it? Put something that won't adhere to the healing tattoo directly over it and then cover that with a waterproof tape. You will look strange on the beach, but its a small price to pay to protect your tattoo.
-
Has anyone ever offered to pay you just for drawing up your idea? It would be nice to be able to buy drawings from a couple of artists.

nothing could draw attention away from that beautiful bird.
-
Ya, that's how I felt too.

This is so sharp and beautiful! I have been back and forth about what I like more. The new watercolor inspired tattoos without clean lines can be so different and interesting but now that it has been out there a while it is less and less different. Then I see something like this with such defined borders and I am wowed. What do you guys think about the newer styles of tattoos with a watercolor feel to them? Do you mostly prefer clean lines?
-
I'm sure ultimately people would leave the final production up to the artist, but it never hurts to get multiple opinions from people, and the internet is a great place to do that. It also could just be that the planning phase of getting a tattoo is exciting. Maybe people just want like minded people to talk about it with. I am in that phase right now and am surrounded by friends and family that have no interest in tattoos and most actually have a negative opinion about it. There is literally no one to share my current obsession with aside from you kind strangers. I understand your point, but I just thought you were a little too hard on the person.
-
Wow! Maybe this topic should have a more detailed explanation as to what type of tattoo advice we are allowed to ask about. The current description "Ask questions about tattoos you already have, or want to get, etc." Would lead me to believe this question was perfectly acceptable. Or maybe you are just having a bad day?
-
I didn't know that, but it makes sense. And I guess the guy who didn't like people following him around during set up did say they were following him to the copier... That's a bit excessive

For TATTOOERS ONLY - most hated tattoo requests?

Ya I expected that, so I know I don't fit into the "wants tons of stuff crammed into a 3 inch tattoo" category, but I do have three of the pet peeves mentioned here; trees, relationship tattoos, and specific details. -
Thanks for the welcome. I have been pretty lazy lately reading all of the fascinating things on this forum. I have learned all sorts of new terminology, like flash, and whipshading stretch marks, and warped tour body suit. Speaking of which, I had no idea the label hipster was an insult. I guess I didn't know what a hipster was... Maybe I still don',t but I do know now why my brother was less than enthused about me using the term to describe him once.
-
I saw them use the term canvas, in reference to the person getting tattooed, on TV the other day. I had never heard that before.

Well, it isn't really the same ball park. The worst thing that can happen with an inexperienced phlebotomist is a painful poke and a nasty bruise. A bad tattoo artist can scar you for life.
-
YES! I am a nurse too and thought the very same thing about the pet peeve of people watching you set up. You are putting that needle under MY skin and could potentially infect me with who knows what. Sorry if I can't give a stranger the benefit of the doubt when it comes to my health.

For TATTOOERS ONLY - most hated tattoo requests?
KegRN replied to dari's topic in Crazy Tattoo Stories
So I have been reading the pet peeves stuff with great interest, in hopes to not annoy people with my tattoo ignorance. I have read that some of you are bothered when someone has too much meaning behind their tattoo and try to dictate how the tattoo is done. Now I am concerned that people may roll their eyes at my tattoo plan. I would like a blooming apple tree branch (because we have apple trees) with two chickadees (my husband and I) an empty bird cage somewhere with the the tree branches growing through it, maybe even breaking it. I would also like a triangle incorporated in the tattoo, maybe in the background with negative space somehow. I'm not planning to dictate placement or color choices, am I still going to be entering pet peeve territory? -

Ha! That's the tattoo I plan on covering up! (The tribal dragon) Walked in as an idiot 18yr old, flipped through a book and said "that looks cool." Groan -
I have considered maybe going to a convention as a possible way of fitting more consultations in one day. Of course I know nothing about how conventions work. Is that a possibility, or are conventions mainly for artists?
-
Yes, I have been. The trouble is, I live three hours north of the twin cities, where most of the good shops are, so it's hard to get to many consultations.
-
I do have someone in mind but I haven't met with him yet. He had to put a freeze on his books last spring and isn't making new appointments till Aug. Good sign, right? I will check out this guy though, thanks!

Hello everyone, I am a middle aged female, from Minnesota. I am not an artist but someone with bad tattoos, in the planning phase of my, hopefully beautiful, cover up. I'm here to get as much advice as possible so I don't make another mistake.
