sorry, this is a weird thread,using computers to compose tattoos is still strange to me. Asking the world their opinion is also strange.

thanks for telling me how to do my business. just because you write to someone doesn't mean you get a reply.

note to Miley - increase security - exponentially.

Thank you, @G.Uristti, for offering your professional opinion. One of my favorite things about LST is that we have professional tattooers who offer their insights. It sets this community apart.

tattoos make everything look better.

Quick Tumblr search:

You will look no more "ridiculous" with tattoos than anyone else! Get tattooed, get what you want, fuck the world. I don't tattoo so I can't answer your questions about working with skin and placement but I can't imagine it's that much of an obstacle.
@Shawn Porter posted a video a while back on his OV blog, an awesome awesome Dave Lum video, where his shop helper -- a woman -- was talking about how she hated her legs and her butt. How she was self conscious and never thought she'd get tattooed there, but once she did get some coverage on those areas, she loved them. Maybe the only big folks you're seeing with a significant amount of work have some not-so-great tattoos.. or maybe you're just freaking out cause you've only got one so far. But if you've got the itch, you've gotta scratch it, and everyone else can go to hell. Truly.
Apologies if this was too strongly worded.. I had the night off, some beers were consumed. The only people I don't like with a lot of tattoos are dickheads regardless of their tattoos.

Woke up with a tattoo on my pimple this morning, what can I do about it?!?!?!?!?

they are called acetates. you powder them with carbon ,blow it off leaving carbon in the scrathes,grease up the skin and stick it. state of the art until the 70's.

again ,learn to swim before jumping in the deep end.

SOA licks sack, I'd say go with the walk-in.

I say go get a quick walk-in tattoo at your local tattoo shop.

Same place that sirblazealot and bubbleberry are from.

@Shannon Shirley, oh, he's just been around Virginia a long time and well, if you go to the Time Machine website, the fact that he puts a few how-to videos up there was enough for me.
But, without going into it, there is more to the story...

@shinobi no.....

leave it alone...

If you've looked at previous work or flash or paintings of theirs, maybe let them know why youre excited about that particular person- which is the reason youre comfortable giving control.
"I saw X tattoo in your portfolio and X and X and I really liked those! Im open to whatever youre into right now, I trust you etc" and typically they can feel you out from there and start firing off some ideas.
im sure a quick consult will get the person going in the right direction.

C'mon @else I bet you know what you like and what you don't like if you think about it. Start poking around on here and checking out tattooers' books and you'll begin to form opinions. Whether it's, "Oh man, this panther is awesome -- ooh, maybe I'll get Jon Q Tattooer to do a sweet panther head on me!" or if it's "Panthers are dumb, I want a scientific diagram of a cat," your ideas will start to take shape. Look at what each tattooer you want to visit puts out, what they do well or what they like doing. Or even ask 'em if there's something they're dying to do.. You'll get it, don't stress out.

Is it seriously your first pimple? Jesus. Keep your dirty fingers off of it and don't pop it. Else you just might get that infection after all.

@SailorClaire Margo DeMello was my first wife ,I helped her write that shit. 20 yr old boring crap.If you don't believe me research who I am.

f#ckin vampires....this is about research for the sake of research. So you can finish a useless degree....and then you become an authority on something you truly know nothing about. life experience has lead me to hate this academic BS.

If I package a bunch of shit someone told me as facts,how does that make me an authority?

Oh yeah Margo Demello claimed she spent alot of time in a tattoo shop with GTC and I, Bullshit ,your following bullshit. Sorry for the truth. Hope this helps with your research...remember publishing bullshit doesnt make it true. You don't look like a Sailor. A trade many are proud of ,monikers are supposed to mean something. When did everyone start giving themselves nicknames?

What a loss......
