@cltattooing this whole time i thought you were a dude, I have no idea why that was.

ha me too @clatattooing

Not an artist but I would not worry yet. What are you using for aftercare? When in doubt cut back the ointments you are using and ask your artist

check out the after care threads there are several worth reading from start to finish, annd welcome to LST you know have the tools you need for getting great tattoos

wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy at 430 this morning !

A coworker once asked me: "aren't you afraid of what will happen in hell?" I asked for some clarification on this and he said " I was taught that what you have tattooed on you will be what you're tortured by in hell".

note to self go get boobie tattoos ASAP

I just got back from DRs and I am having surgery on both hips. I am actually happy that after years of pain being diagnosed as lumbar I had hip arthograms done out of pocket last month and they revealed torn cartilage, degenerative cartilage , FAI and cam lesions on hip ball. 3 weeks on crutches then 3 months therapy then go back for left hip

think ink tattoos Norman Oklahoma, Josh the owner was a big part in the fight to legalize tattooing in oklahoma .@thinkinktattoos (THINK INK GALLERY) 's Instagram photos | Webstagram - the best Instagram viewer

I like levis .@levihatchtattoos (levi hatch) 's Instagram photos | Webstagram - the best Instagram viewer and Brandons http://web.stagram.com/n/brandoncutter/ tattoos a lot.

All around cool shop and some cool history from old acetates by Underwood and Jensen to framed photos of old school tattoo

I am a total nerd,

I spent a bit of time at .@thinkinktattoos (THINK INK GALLERY) 's Instagram photos | Webstagram - the best Instagram viewer today and got to catch up on the guys travels and some tattoo history. I realize some of you get to do this often but it genuinely was a great time for me. I would have been happy to spend the whole afternoon talking tattoos but didnt want to be a "hang around"

@Howlinthenight how about a tattoo of a bowtie, not some random place like your arm but where a bowties would be on your neck! ;)

welcome aboard I suggest panther,eagle,ROA,skull or panther

you put out CL ads when traveling alone with the Title

"here for a few days need someone who will apply lotion to my back piece"

only 3 hrs away but I just blew my wad on tickets and funds for SOG this year

The one and only Tim hendricks! Next month gonna travel to Cali but still haven't decided

what I will get!! He does everything so well.............

I would absolutely love to have Tim do a tattoo for me, what are you leaning towards style wise?

@Swan Cult Classic Tattoo in Romford is where we recommend many people to go if they are east of London.

I've seen very impressive results from Joe, who works there.

Searching for prices online will not give you an indication of how much you will spend on removing/lightening your tattoo. Much like tattooing, the skill of the operator plays a huge part. Many places will let you know that they are using the latest equipment etc but your results and eventual cost will depend on the current state of your tattoo and your eventual goal. Session or hourly rate will not really tell you anything - 10 sessions at £30 doesn't mean that you will get better results than 5 sessions at £60 or 3 sessions at £100 or whatever

I've seen more bad lazer jobs than I've seen bad tattoos. - Think about that for a minute. It's a lot.

Visit in person or call to arrange a consultation. Ask to see photos of similar sized work. Many websites will show miraculous disappearance of small tattoos leaving no trace.

It's probably a good idea to speak to the person who you want to do the tattoo too. Different tattooers use different approaches to cover-ups.

Before anyone thinks about getting in touch with any TV people. Please look at the previous work of the particular production company.

Endemol recently twitter-spammed hundreds of people asking about regretting ear piercings. I guess they're planning a show about how people regret tattoos etc. I'm not saying that's bad, just be aware of the editorial slant of any media you chose to get involved with. If I was being less fair, I'd say expect a freak show.

I am quoting @Stewart Robson in hopes you read this again and take the advice.

There are many laser threads here on LST and I recommend reading them if your still unsure. Several members have successfully covered very large pieces.

@smiling.politely you have to be one of the few Kansans to make the trip to frith. I want to hear more about it and London.

@youthcrewalex ye olde tattoo brain. I felt like that last year in SF. Motor skills were on the fritz. Looks worth it though

first welcome, second IMO having had a fair amount of laser I think 1-2 sessions of laser would make it easy to cover with waves or a better idea to ad to the piece.

@Mike Panic is a laser guy aswell as @jinxproof i would search their names in this forum and read their posts.

When you get back to Ireland hit up @ross nagle at Allstar in Limerick he would have killed your idea from jump

got an Appt for SFO, now for plane ticket..

I will be solo just a backpack may go check out Blackeart and temple on friday. Loving idea of just getting a walkup with one of the great artists attending also.

welcome @Hospitelli I assume you had a nice intro but alas I just starred at your killer tattoos.

@Takeaway: Oh, YOU'RE that guy! Absolutely amazing tattoo. I really enjoyed watching the pics @Stewart Robson posted of the progress. The whole thing's great, but that background is particularly inspired.

And welcome to LST. Helluva first post.

exactly as if the dragon wasnt good enough the maple leafs rule just as hard. @Takeaway so good man, Ive inadvertently starred at your ass on occasion
