anyone have a high quality old tattoo?

By ChoWai · Posted 1 hour ago

@bluebullets If it helps, the quality of the ink today is better than 20 years ago (so I hear).

Needing advice with new tattoo

By TattedMom · Started Thursday at 11:12 PM

Hey all! 9 days ago today I got my first tattoo. 2 days ago I noticed a rash developing now all around my whole tattoo is covered in this itchy red rash! It’s no fun!
