Krista Van Hove Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My name is Krista V., I'm from Long Island, New York. I'm happy to have come across this forum/page as I am in the stages of planning my next piece and can use all the inspiration/help/advice I can get. I am not what one might consider a tattoo expert, and I don't frequent parlors often. So, the process of getting a tattoo can be intimidating to me. I LOVE learning about the history of tattooing and admire many different styles. I love Sailor Jerry flash, not sure if that's my favorite. Anyway, I'm a registered nurse. Going for my Masters in psychiatric/mental health. I love music, art and nature - the sea above all. Glad to be here and I'm looking forward to speaking with many of you and exploring the site! ~ Krista TrixieFaux and tatB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Welcome! What are you looking to get? Have you checked out Kings Avenue Tattoo? It's in Massapequa and is one of the best shops anywhere. tatB, Krista Van Hove and irezumi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krista Van Hove Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 - - - Updated - - - Gouge, that's actually brilliant. I didn't know what that was, so I looked it up...right up my alley. Literally. I'm just not sure about placement. I do want to eventually have a large piece built up around central images of a mermaid, a lighthouse and an anchor. So I want to leave canvas space for that. For "Rose" the seemingly obvious place might be the shoulder blade...but that's boring to me. Any suggestions? - - - Updated - - - I've definitely settled on Kings Avenue. I need to look at portfolios and talk concept now. - - - Updated - - - Stony Brook area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
