  1. if i were to get a tiny tattoo, it would be something like this: *not placement just design*
  2. Just an example of what I'm talking about: https://www.instagram.com/west4tattoo/ But you've probably seen these types of tattoos all over pinterest. I love the look, personally, but I'm worried about how they'll stand against the test of time. What are your honest thoughts about that? Will they fade quickly or become fuzzy?
  3. I think you could get something wrapped around your shoulder.
  4. Yeah, i'm not sure about my ankle/heel area. when i said that, i didn't realize how small that space was. i'm a pretty small person. i don't want it too be too big and overpowering, but also not too small that it doesn't look good so yeah...placement is a hard one. i'm saving my back, arms, shoulders, and thighs for future tattoos...which basically leaves below the knee.
  5. Aesthetically speaking, there is too much going on. I mean, you have multiple languages/alphabets in one tattoo. There's no clear idea or theme here. Also, what is that scary looking monster face?
  6. well, yeah. mainly just looking for opinions. depending on the feedback, i may or may not give him a call.
  7. Just saw this on Gary Gerhardt's instagram. I think it's pretty cool/cute. I've always been drawn to the South West and cacti, as dangerous as they are. Where would you recommend having it tattooed? I was thinking it might look good on the inside of my heel/ankle area. This is hypothetical of course.
  8. I hate pinterest because they never link or credit the actual artist. it's filled with annoying buzzfeed links
  9. I've recently become a fan of Pis Saro's work. https://www.instagram.com/pissaro_tattoo/?hl=en I can't tell you how much I love her subject matter and her style. Sadly, I don't live in Europe. Can anyone think of an American tattoo artist who creates similar work?
  10. I've seen this style before. I don't think it has a name. It has an illustrated look. I don't know if you'll find an artist who tags his/her posts with a specific style name.
  11. I actually specifically asked for the old tattoo to not be covered up because at the time i still wanted to see it..............like i said, i'm an idiot. it would've been SUCH an easy cover up. I should've turned it into a tree or something. but i saw an arrow that this guy did and i really liked it so I went with that.
  12. I was also hoping there might be people who've gone the surgical route before that could share their experience...but I guess not. I'm thinking I should wait for laser...I can live with my tattoo for a few more years.
  13. I actually thought about my tattoo(s) for a long time... I love tattoos, I just chose the wrong ones.
  14. it's hard enough finding a full time job. basically any money i have left over is going to student loans.
  15. well the place i called quoted me 1200$ for all the sessions combined. but i'm looking online and finding other places that would be about 400-500 for 5 sessions...so that seems much more reasonable.
  16. thanks i'll just jump in my time machine. brb
  17. @Shaun1105 I do plan on getting more tattoos...so I can see this one fading into the back of my mind, but it's literally right in front of me all day long. The arrow tattoo is not a bad tattoo by any means. I don't mind keeping it around..I just can't stand the older tattoo. I guess I just don't like the idea of having to wait however many years until i can afford laser tattoo removal .

    Hello!

    I (not op) want to get a portion of my wrist tattoo excised. I made a post about it on tattoo removal.

    Hello!

    I think you meant to respond OP? I meant that I am personally considering excision for my tattoo.
  20. I would like to apologize in advance for this long-winded story. I got a very small tattoo on my wrist that I didn't like. So I went to an artist and had an arrow put over it...but the small tattoo is still visible in the shaft portion. And it drives me crazy looking at it. The arrow tattoo is very nicely done IMO, but I'm not sure if it's really "me." I could go without it, but I don't mind it. In retrospect, I should've just gotten a cover up. I'm kinda an idiot. I have a few options: -Laser. Problem is, it's just way too expensive and I probably wouldn't be able to get it for years. I asked if I could remove just the portion I don't like...and they said it would cost the same as removing the entire tattoo since my full tattoo is smaller than the smallest size they use for pricing. So if I went with laser I might consider removing the whole tattoo. -Cover-up. I just have no idea how I would cover up the shaft without losing the shape of the arrow. Or I could turn it into something else entirely...but I think I that end up taking up a lot of my forearm and i don't want a large tat there. I'm open to suggestions that don't involve the word panther. It's a dot work arrow tattoo if that helps. -Surgical excision. This was the other option recommended to me. This way they would cut out just the portion I don't like, leaving a small scar. And later I'd tattoo the shaft back over it. It would also cost less that laser removal. I'm seriously considering excision. As gross as it sounds. Does anyone have experience with this?

    Hello!

    Another option is excision....which i'm actually considering.

    Hello!

    I just asked about getting laser on one small portion, and they said it would cost the same as me removing the whole tattoo...since they base their price on size and their smallest size is 4x4 when my full tattoo is 3x1
