thanks guys,but I know my skin and I know what works for me ,this method works great for me.We all heal differently.

mine is an easy one :)

well,I guess I'm weird then,I like the attention and questions I get about my tattoos,I just am nice to people and enjoy talking to them,especially plainskins,but then I like to talk to strangers,I am pretty outgoing that way,I love talking to people about my tattoos and tattoos in general and artists I have been to,etc,etc none of mine have any really deep meanings,I will explain to people that ask or I talk to maybe what the art is and where,when,I got my cool art/designs. as for you,my advice is,when you get questions about the lion tattoo,you already answered your own question,just tell them "i feel it just looks badass and i love lion tattoos". just my .02

yes,I agree,what happens when you don't miss her anymore ? there is no rush,sit and think about it more,maybe look into good artists in your area and get a consult appointment and discuss a tattoo with an artist.

YIKES LOL that's pretty bad !

LOL no Seinfeld fans here ?

prepare your Feats of Strength, get the Festivus pole out, make your Airing of Grievances list, and put the Meat loaf in the oven !

I have a large side torso piece that came down a little on one butt cheek,and all I can say is for me the butt is the most painful place I have ever gotten a tattoo.I like showing my tattoos,and I can show most of them with shorts and a tank top,but a ass tattoo would be the weirdest one to show off ! LOL

well,IMO if you're that undecided about all those aspects of the tattoo,then my advice is to wait until you are sure of the tattoo and design by the right artist.take a break and think about it more. I like the lady riding the monster,for what it's worth

white ink tattoos are generally a bad idea IMO,the ink usually turns brownish down the road.

I agree, and here is what one of the artists did on me,most experienced good artists will not tattoo over moles.

LOL great story :)

no,IMO don't add any words.it looks cool like it is.leave alone for now,take some time to think about it. :)

LOL so where do we meet ? at the gates ?

I have read that a lot about leg tattoos,I have many tattoos from my ankles to above my knees,and I guess I have been lucky,I have never had any swelling on my legs.

Hi Dylan,welcome to the forums,this above is great advice.

these two points are great,and I agree,the mental pain control seems to work better for me than ever,and yes we have worked hard to get to a good financial place,I'm not a wealthy guy,but not owing any money is a form of wealth IMO.

I'm 56,I think my tattoos actually heal better and faster because I am more educated about healing after all the tattoos I have had done(from much trial and error over the years), I will say that I think getting tattoos seems to hurt more than when I was 25 ! LOL

sounds like a good youtube video if you had videoed it LOL

300-350$ is not a lot IMO for a tattoo.

awsome ! thanks :)

LOL nothing ? anything ? anyone ?

I have two pieces of the same thing ,one on my knee and one on my shoulder,and I want more of it.

ya,for the first time I had that happen on my last tattoo,it all went away,and it was also on my arm.
