Hello - and Happy Christmas all - 

Not been contributing much due to lockdown/shutdown/eiderdown....

Had a couple of tattoos recently but all are stick and poke and not relevant to this site  - 

in any case....   Peace and Goodwill and here are my 12 things of Christmas...........

i)  They all do that

ii) Totally normal

iii) Not finished healing

iv) Not a blowout

v) A blowout

vi) A blowout a blowout a blowout - if you say it enough it becomes really weird....

vii) Stop covering it in stuff

viii) Stop covering it in other stuff

ix) No really stop covering it in stuff

x) Blimey - that looks odd

xi) No - its great but you really need to address your underlying anxiety issues

and my own contribution - 

xii) all ink is cool - change my mind.

Hi @AtomicMagpye! interesting lyrics there from last month!

So how do you compare stick and poke with the usual tattoo machine method?

Hello there - I have one professionally done stick and poke from Habba Nero at the Brighton tattoo convention - it was pretty much pain free and healed almost immediately - it was also pretty amazing how quickly it was done - almost as fast as a machine I reckon.

I have several not professionally done (at least not in the traditional sense) - my wife is an accomplished artist and I can sometimes persuade her to put on some gloves, pick up a 9RL and give it a go 🙂 - she doesn't like tattooing though as it is a long process.....Ive attached a photo of the pro one and one of the ones done at home during the lockdown.

@AtomicMagpyeThanks! I must confess I can hardly tell the difference between the end results of the two methods...

Seems like your wife is accomplished; does she dislike stick and poke tattoos, period? or is it just the tattoo artistry that she prefers not to do it too much?

Hello again - I should have made it clear - she is not a tattoo artist - she does watercolours and other stuff and is very good at those things....

I hope she likes tattoos - I have a couple 🙂

 @AtomicMagpyeSounds like she is indeed very accomplished.

Tattoos used to be overwhelmingly such a man thing, years ago; but not any more; although there are some women - even with a lot of artistic flair - who still prefer to be 'cleanskins'.

    • Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos. 
    • "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.
    • Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.
