Got this rose done this last weekend by Sam Castro at Precisely Veiled Tattoo in Killeen, TX. Super clean and comfortable shop and she does some great work!

Yeah, I'll make sure I do all of that all week to the max just to guarantee I wont end up like last time

yes ! you answered your own question IMO, sleep good and don't drink alcohol the night before (or the day of), pre-hydrate the day before and day of and while being tattooed,(water or Gatorade) eat a good non greasy healthy meal right before getting tattooed, bring candy (I bring M&M's and Skittles) to eat during the tattoo(the sugar will keep you from passing out),I also bring a banana,beef jerky, and a few cold bottles of water in a little ice chest(no artist has ever minded me doing this,as a matter of fact they have liked it). keeping up body sugars,potassium,and electrolytes will help to keep you from passing out , get yourself mentally in a good place.in the days leading up to and during the tattoo. ask for a few 5 min breaks to stand up ,stretch,and get the kinks out. this all helps me have a better overall tattoo experience,and the artist will appreciate it too.

Hey guys, So I'm new to the tattoo world and finally just got some work done. This seems like an awesome forum to get advice and info from other people who have the same passion as you. I look foward to being about of this fourm. I'm going to attach a picture of my tattoo.. tell me what you guys think !

Agreed. Scott's work = http://www.tildeathdenver.com/scott-garitson/ Also Jacob Rivera = https://www.instagram.com/blackbearwhiskey/?hl=en and Jared Rice = https://www.instagram.com/world.class.tattoos/?hl=en there are lots of talented people there. I think there are so many in/around Denver that some who would otherwise be booked out for many months in other cities are living week by week there. You should do good booking this early.

I have recently really been liking Scott Garitson's work. I believe he works out of Til Death Denver. His instagram is @scottgaritsontattoo

Hello everyone. I'm Rhys from South Wales... Awseome website and some real nice tattoos in the galleries. My heads been all over the place lately on what to have done next. I've had a lot of tattoos over the years some good some bad, I had a Chinese tribal dragon on my right arm from the shoulder to my elbow which I had three laser treatments and is barely visible now. I have a pretty big three welsh feathers and dragon on my back which I do like, but wouldn't mind having it covered up. I had it when I was twenty (15 years ago) young and stupid. I'm just wondering if It is possible to cover up, even if it was just brought back to life a bit with some changes. I really like the Celtic look and I'm having a sleeve done possibly like the pic included. Also included is some tattoo pics which I would love to have on my back if covering over my old tattoo wasn't to much of a problem.

Certainly doable (cover or re-work) given the right artist. Send us a link to whomever you are considering. There are dozens of excellent blackwork and/or illustrative artists in the UK.

Hey

It started with an old piece of Huck Spaulding flash from the 70's. Where it ends up is yet to be determined.

It's been some time since I've posted in here. Just dropping by to show of a cool little something I got today. Done by Tato Toby at Thank You Tattoo in Copenhagen. I've been in love with this design since he posted it as part of a flashsheet on Instagram some months ago. Today I finally got around to getting it done. He also did a really cool fly filler on me, that I don't have a photo of right now.. Photo borrowed from Toby's Instagram (@tatotoby).

Ok, the last one in my whirlwind of 3 appointments in 3 weeks. Finished up this one from Chauncey "CK" Kochel.

Probably my favorite right now is Steve Byrne, I'm always amazed at his creativity, crazy colors, and super bold lines. I have nothing by him...yet. And I guess I can post this here too. I got this Cap Coleman dragon design last night by Wes Garvick in York, PA. I've wanted a dragon for a while now and Cap does some of my favorites.
