    For me, exactly no on the eyeball tattoos. Blackout tattoos, if done well, are cool. Not for me but I can certainly appreciate (almost) any well done tattoo.

  3. Tattoos take 4 - 6 weeks to heal. You won't know anything until then.

  4. To each their own. What one may like, another may not. If you love it, that is all that matters.

  5. Good. I’m glad you are going. It may be overly cautious, but you sound really worried. Just see what the doctor says.

  6. After taking the wrapping and bandages off. It’s complete, however you can tell the areas that have healed versus fresh ink. Looking forward to it completely healing and settling in. Hard to get the whole thing in one picture. I’ll get better ones once healed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ummm... nope and nope. Your eyes are just way too precious to take any chance with something like that. Besides, the appearance just creeps me the hell out. To me, some of the main reasons for getting tattoos is the the art, beauty and the individualism and blackout tattoos has none of that. I of course don't care if others get them, but just find no appeal in them.

    Flower ideas?

    The symbolism in your tattoo design is exactly whatever it means to you.

    Really need advice!

    Thanks for the help, I'll keep you updated. Fingers crossed I'm just over thinking it. I was supposed to get a touch up and some more shading done on Aug 3 but from the looks of it may have to push it back a couple weeks.

  10. You can't let others run your life. If you like it and/or want others, do what makes you happy and ignore the people that try to bring you down. My getting tattooed was my statement that after way too many years I'm no longer let others make me feel bad for my choices. It can be tough, but it's well worth it.

  11. That kind of thing that I'd work out with your artist. I'm in no way artistic and besides, my tastes may be drastically different than yours.

    Who knows, either way infected or not I will be going to see the doctor in Wednesday to be sure. Just wanted insight to see if maybe I'm over thinking it.

  13. I feel bad for you, but this kind of obsessing isn’t normal. And you have a perfectly nice tattoo. There really is no need to be upset. That’s why I’m concerned.

    Just keep it clean and let it heal. You’re probably futzing with it too much. Don’t put anything on it other than washing it a couple of times a day. If color falls out, you can always get it touched up.

    Infection or Overthinking?

    Yeah, that yellow is just body ooze. You'd see the same effect if you had a brush-burn that was under stretching/shrinking.

  21. I got this Filipino tribal collar/chest from Melissa Manuel at Humble Beginnings in San Jose, CA. I feel so much more complete! This is how it was lookin' before, after the two chest pieces from Walter McDonald.

  22. My tattoo addition from yesterday at the Veterans benefit at Broad Wing Tattoo in Bowling Green, OH. Great participating in such a meaningful event. They posted today on IG that they raised about $7300 for Vietnam Veterans of America. 3 more nails in the coffin.

    Couldn't agree more with both of you guys. My first tattoo was extremely meaningful but full black and in the middle of my forearm to cover scars. I still love it but it's in an awkward place and so I won't be able to complete a sleeve unless I get a tattoo around/lasered off. I would say really take your time and make sure your artist is actually good and don't look for "cheap" artists.

    I always think it's best to get a simple tattoo as your first and save the large/special meaning one for later. Take it slow, learn the ropes and make sure you know about the process before jumping into a big one. Just my 2 cents.

    I wouldn’t recommend having your first tattoo experience be on your back down your spine. That being said, welcome! Do your research on an artist that has done similar work to what you want. Show them some references and don’t rush the process. Try to think about your future plans too and where this tattoo will fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  26. No. I think you should leave the artist out of this. Tattoos are a commodity like any other. You want one from this person, you pay; just like if you want a Mercedes S Class, you pay more than for a Toyota. We can't always afford the things we want when we want them.

    I hope to join the LST Big Cat Club in early November with a crawling jaguar on my left thigh from Jason Brooks. That'll probably be it for me through next year up to my wedding; I'm also in the process of trying to get together funds to open a store. I'll have to live vicariously through you guys for awhile ;)
