    interesting,both my knees healed very nicely,I did use Saniderm on both which worked great.

    just goes to show how different our bodies are regarding tattoos and healing.

    Agreed.

    It was one of those spontaneous tattoos and didnt prep right. I think that was miy biggest mistake. I would of use saniderm my self but I just didnt plann this one :D

    @BrickyOdin cool work you got going on there!

     

    As for my self, I am going through a tough time with my knee. So far it has been my roughest healing. I am on day 8 and finally the knee feels some what normal.... There is a quite a bit of scabbing even though I did my best to avoid it (lots of good cleaning, etc...) Knee sucks... Worst than my foot for sure.

    All good calls. I hadn't really thought about reapers. I also like "weird stuff" and would be curious with almost something that open.

    I'm not religious at all, but I think Jesus heads or Virgin Marys could be cool.

    I'd love to see the namakubi tattoos people.

    Hand tattoos (on hands, not of hands).

    Rose morphs.

    Eagles.

    Rock of ages.

    Mandalas / geometry

     

     

     

    +1 this. Something different. :)

    The quality of ink brands

    The best holding and brightest inks in my skin happen to be handcrafted inks that tattooers use. Except for maybe the dermaglow neon orange haha.

    These are secret recipes and fairly closely guarded.

    I don't think you want to know what's in some of the ink recipes. The same pigments they use in commercial house paint or vodka or bull semen is probably something you don't want to hear right before getting tattooed. If the tattoo looks great in 10 years, that's what really matters IMO. One of my tattooers mixed some homemade green and white inks together and they started bubbling over the cap, like a high school science project. I asked uhhhh what the hell was in it...he said "wizard dust". We laughed. Well he laughed, I laughed nervously. It was itchy for a really long time, and now that green is still bright as hell 5 years later.

    Well said. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks. I know it looks like I am freaking out a bit. Well, I am because it is on my skin. I take great pride in my tattoos. I put a lot of thought into them. I have never thought about asking the brand of the ink. Well, not until my friend had a bad reaction to red and now with my situation

    I debated on mentioning the ink brand as I know it is a well trusted brand.

    I just need to chill till I see my artist on Tuesday. I know he'll give me the answers I am looking for. I have a lot of trust in him and faith that he can deal with it.

    That's right just chill it will all be fine. ;)

    @AuntTudie,

    As @Synesthesia mentioned I am not sure you will get a response form any body out side the collectors "realm"

    But as a collector my self one thing I am aware is the ink the artists use. When I am collecting a piece from an artist I ask a few questions just like he asks me questions... One of those questions I ask is the type of ink the artists prefers to use. Most good artists stick to what is known...

    Inks I am experience with on my own skin from different artists is:

    Eternal Ink.

    Fusion Ink.

    and recently Empire Inks.

    I think there is others that are good but I am more comfortable knowing what my skin does good with.

    Edit: This is a good topic if directed to those who collect and not to an artist.

    Dealing with my dying father these last few months. I took a major break from all things online in order to focus on getting through this. Its been a very rough patch, and I've been going from acute care facilities to job interviews and trying to keep above water.

    I apologize for leaving so abruptly.

    Keep strong and keep your head up.

    Nice to see you back.

    Take care.

    @Electric i,

    I have talked to many tattoo artists and some try to go and some say: Never do a show that shows anything negative about you.... For example... Ink Master can/could hinder you career where Tattoo Nightmares can/could boost it... <- That I do agree with...

    I have seen what @9Years is talking about... Been to several conventions and those who have gone through the show have a banner that say "as seen on season xxxx of...." Is no joke.... They ride that boat! I tell my self... Wow but you suck so bad in the show why would you want to advertise that? But as You and @9Years said "every chump with no clue" & "A fool and his money" all in the same and they all fall for it...
