Your favorite tattoo?

By pidjones · Posted November 26

No, not even a member of any tattoo FB groups. Just thought it would be an interesting discussion. For myself, I guess it would be the cameo of my wife. It came out just perfect.
Your favorite tattoo?

I don't know how to answer this without lying, sounding like a douche, or both. I have several I could choose. I'll narrow it down to the first one I got that my wife also got that is a stick figure faimly portrait I drew her for mother's day or the dragon I got at Three Tides in Tokyo- both for obvious and different reasons.

First tattoo. Looking slightly patchy

Never had this on any bits of my sleeve.. is this a blow out?

By Jen · Started November 10

So, long story short, I've been going to the same artist since 18. I love my sleeve, I just got this part done last Thursday and I've noticed some black parts turning blueish. Is this normal and will it turn black once the healing process is over? I cant seem to upload a picture. 3
