    New member. Tattoo OCD?

    It looks fine. OCD is a great way to make a good tattoo worse. Trust me, NOBODY is eyeing your tattoo with a microscope except you. Enjoy it and get more tattoos.

  9. so the first and best advice I can offer is to not go back to that tattooer,I think a better tattooer could rework that into a good tattoo, and sometimes there is scar tissue, from a bad application of the tattoo.

  10. Finally finished my ribs. 3 hour session last week, I kept looking at the bottle of numbing crème, but held out. My artist offered it a couple of times, but I said I wanted to “earn” it. I’ll post a pic when it heals. I have two sessions left and my body suit will be complete. I’ve been chipping away at it for 12 years. I can’t believe it’s almost done.

  16. My elbows were both super painful. But I think my knee was the worst.

  17. 3 hours is a real sweet spot for me too. No need to go much longer. Props to those who can continually do the marathon sessions. I like to look forward to my session each month, not dread it 😂.

  18. My back piece took about 18 months. About one session a month. Sometimes two, sometimes skip. 3 hours per session. It was worth it.

  19. Slowly but surely! Realizing now the mindfuck that is a full backpiece. About 15 hours in and not even close to halfway there. Enjoying the process!

  21. Finished up my TMNT piece today. The picture is a little bit before we finished, I forgot to grab a finished shot. Waiting on my artist to send me the video he took.

  22. If it’s not hot, oozing, very painful, and smelly, it’s almost certainly not an infection. I’m not a doctor, but I don’t see anything that looks infected. Tattoos take 4-8 weeks to heal. Enjoy your tattoo.

  23. @Hogrider Here’s the end result! I absolutely love it and love what my artist did to “spice” it up a bit

    Sweat it out. Skin cancer is no fun. The problem is, when it’s too late it’s too late. And 12 is not “a few.” 😉

  25. The placement Looks better, but thin lines just don’t usually hold up long term. However, it’s your tattoo and you should get what you want as long as you understand the risks. Good luck, and please post it when it’s done!

  26. Back at the shop again today! Two tattoos from Binger; a flaming skull from his flash and a reverse mermaid that he drew for me. I was meant to get this last year but the universe was against me. These are both on my right leg- lower calf and outside ankle. So bloody happy with them both! He also touched up the axe and swallow for me . March is my birthday month, so it would be rude not to pay him another visit then😁.

    The ladies thread

    Thanks! I'm amused by the colour progression in the bruising today. It's not sore, but looks like it definitely should be! I have also inquired about a couple specific dates for my elbow, as I've realised I'll be in town for some professional development. Will see if it's enough time or if I just have to wait for a Saturday to come free. Been looking at more aquatic themed ideas for the elbow. Otherwise it will be a flower.

  28. Even if it hurts, it's a small body part, so it doesn't take a long time to tattoo.

  29. You won't get a refund. I hope you find a tattoo artist who can fix it for you.

  30. True. Different people react differently. I hear how bad the back is, but I almost fell asleep several times when I had my back done.

    at least for me, my elbows were not too bad.Don't over think it, you might be surprised how it's not that bad.

  32. the only person to ask for that info will be the tattooer you choose to do the work, it depends on how big, where it's going, etc etc, you also need to research tattooers that do that style, making sure that tattooer is good, once you find the right tattooer, setup a consultation to talk in person about your idea, it's a process,

  33. I like that. Add anything you want to it. You don't have to have a theme.

  35. I don't know how well that will hold up, especially if you don't find an artist that has serious skills. I would try to make that less ... busy? There's just too much happening. Way too much.

    And a little means a little. Too many people drown their tattoos.

    Dan is 100% right. You are exponential more liable to F*** it up than fix it.

  39. Hey guys. Long time no post. Heres an update to this thread. I finally found another artist i liked and got the tattoo i wanted. Check it out. 🙂 I actually was aware of the artist for quite some time but it took me a while to finally be able to make an appointment with them. Its a tattoo of the character Morpeko from Pokemon.

  40. yes it is,let it heal for a couple months, the scabbing and milky look will go away. don't pick at it, put on a light coat of Aveeno a couple times a day. it will be fine.

  42. We’re doing 1 session a month. It’s a good cadence for me, we do about 3 hours per session.

  43. Rather excited. I asked Kyle if we would have time to at least start the thigh as well as do the left inner bicep in the one appointment and he gave the green light- so booking request form was filled out this morning which means circus horse and flipped lady/demon head on the left thigh to come in August - woo! Thigh we will size up and decide if its front of or side of when I'm in the shop in July. (Possibly similar positioning and sizing as current right thigh tattoo shown in previous post- depends on what Kyle suggests as I am pretty flexible on it) for the mean time- the lucky rabbit foot and elephant have finished flaking and I am in count-down mode for my appointment with Andrew on July 7 . Autumn/Winter has been/is busy ! (Australia)

    Help with wrong tattoo

    I would just leave it alone, there is no fixing it, messing with it will just F*** it up. think of it as unique.

  45. NO !!!!!!!!!! that's not an option, if you just change your mind !?!??!? LOL if you really knew anything about laser treatment, you would know it's a very long painful expensive process that doesn't get rid of the tattoo completly.

  46. Just wear that bikini top and trust me, no one is looking at the tattoo. If they do see it, they'll think it looks fine.

  49. Saw this design years ago, and it was a must have at first sight. The problem was that the artist is about 8000 miles from where I’m at. I’ve traveled for tattoos, but not that far! I caught a break though, as the artist was guesting in the USA, and I was fortunate to get a spot. The tattoo came to me. I didn’t even get on a plane. How lucky is that? I’ve been saving this forearm panel for years for this piece, without even knowing how I was going to end up getting it ever. But it worked out in the end. (The link below the photo is a video. The tattoo is a really wide design, so it wraps in my desired body placement and the video shows the wrapped sections) Artist is: Manh Huynh from Vietnam. Video link:

  50. There is no way to know how it will heal, you just have to wait. I rarely have scabs, but I had one the size of a dime on my leg and it ripped off accidentally. It healed perfectly, but did need to be touched up. It took about three months to completely heal.
