Hi, decided to join the forum after lurking a little bit and enjoying what I read. I'm a 23 year old from Glasgow and just acquired my first proper Tattoo recently and plan on getting a few more in the next year or so, after getting a poor one from a scratcher at 18 now starting to get the itch to be covered in proper pieces of art. Really like American Traditional and Japanese styles - timeless look and better than any trends in tattooing in my opinion. Look forward to using the forum and getting some advice from people with a bit more knowledge than I do, few of my friends are into proper Tattoo's so Forum should be handy!

      Ok to get tattooed 2 weeks after surgery?

      By JAC1961 · Posted

      I'd still call your doctor and ask their opinion.  I'm betting that they might advise against it, you know docs and liability.  But, if I were in the same position, really wanted it and was in good health, I'd probably go ahead and do it. My wife's an RN and I just asked her.  She said that she wouldn't think it would be a problem as long as you keep any appendectomy incision bandaged and clean your tattoo as recommended.

      Ok to get tattooed 2 weeks after surgery?

      By PlaceInTheSun · Posted

      Hey everyone, I just had a laparoscopic appendectomy 8 days ago. Everything went well. There were no complications. Normally I wouldn't consider getting tattooed for awhile due to possible immune system problems. The thing is, one of my favorite artists is in town next weekend. He moved from Mass to Brooklyn and if I don't go see him next week I may have to wait a year or so before he's around again. I just want to get a small piece of Dan Higgs flash on my arm nowhere near the site of the surgery. Do you guys think this would be ok or am I putting myself in danger? I know people are going to say "ask your doctor" but I'd like the advice of people who actually have and know about tattoos. Thanks in advance.

      Pay per hour - how does it work?

      By Gingerninja · Posted

      Hey @Decay You have a lovely new tattoo.  Tattooing isn't science, it's art and you can't set a clock by how long a tattoo will take. Your artist, who I assume you trust to tattoo you, will always give you a best guess. It may take longer; it may take less time.   You do realize how much goes into tattooing, right? Your artist has to come up with a design, a piece of art, from whatever concept you have in your head and translates that into a tattoo on your skin. There's design, drawing, and setup among other things that happen way before the needles hit your skin. If you feel like you are being ripped off over what you think is 30 minutes, you need to think long and hard if tattooing is for you. Enjoy the ride! Let go a little and you will have a better experience.  I have never seen a menu of prices and that concept will not serve you well on your tattoo journey. Where do you live where you haggle over everything? And I really hope that you tipped your artist.
