  1. DS is getting a gift certificate for Christmas, and I believe I'll be adding a flying pig to my left leg when he goes in to spend it :cool:

    Or not. Today's appointments were kind of blown off by the shop. He is 'stuck' getting his there because his gift certificate is bought and paid for, but I'm seriously considering forfeiting my deposit.

  2. I think your designs are pretty cool, and a solution that could work is to use a medium that holds better than ink in skin. Have you looked into having them made into rings? I think that would be really neat. Even neater if you could include the couple in casting the rings. You could also have the original art framed for them. There are lots of things you can do with your art that aren't specifically finger tattoos. We just use our fingers a lot, and they don't hold intricate designs as well as other parts of the body would.

    Check out some "new vs. old" finger tattoos to see what we mean - they spread and fade quicker than almost any other body part.

  3. I have a strawberry plant for my mom. I think I'll have a thistle for my Dad someday. They aren't memorial tattoos, though. I'm sorry for your loss.

    Around here, the walls are filled with lots of memorial designs. There isn't anything wrong with some flash you like plus names / initials. Parents and your own children are exempt from the "no names" tattoo rules, IMO.

  4. Absolutely nothing wrong with picking something off the wall in a situation like this - a good shop has just about every subject you could think of hanging up. You could get two - eagles, anchors, baseballs, guitars, ladies, roses - the same design, or maybe two similar designs from the same sheet.

    My son and I were looking at a hot pink Hot Stuff riding an alligator in Trader Bob's. We both agreed it was super sweet, and we almost got them.

  5. Mmmhmmm, a snake do over with a rose on top :cool:

    I think, if you like the style, that a Japanese design could incorporate / hide that pretty well.

    There is usually some ghost of an old tattoo if you know where you're looking, and you can see it up close since it is on you, but we probably won't notice it walking past you. How much does that bother you?
