It's been close to 2 months and I can't wait to have some money to spend on tattoos.. Being poor sucks.

It's really hard to give an opinion on what I assume is just a placement sketch.

If you're not into butterflies, have the artist do them as moths instead, seems to go with the theme.

My question is why do you care? Or why don't you ask her again?

It looks like a stylized heart, facing her, which also reminds me of female reproductive organs.

I have. It's all from the same type of red ink, which I think was Eternal Deep Red. It's an allergic reaction and your body is trying to push it out, but your skin is sealed. Sure it's a bit annoying, but it's not dangerous. A couple of my friends who are tattooers saw it, and this is what they told me. I haven't experienced it with any other type of red.

So my advice is to not get any more tattoos with that specific color used, and notify the tattoo artist so that they'll be aware that some people react to it.

I got this from my childhood friend Siggy (@siggystarfishtattoo) today. I saw the flash year and a half ago but having been on the opposite side of the world it didn't happen until now. So stoked!

I would assume it's more roses and skulls.. Are you looking to incorporate other things into it or are you just curious about what the other skulls look like? Because if you are, don't worry, go to an experienced tattooer and they will be able to give you skulls and roses by the boat-load without ripping off a photo you found on pintrest or instagram.

Why the hell does viewers get to vote on anything? It's stupid to make the contest into a popularity thing, considering that few in of the viewers know jack shit about tattooing... If the judges would assign the live tattoos to be something they know the artist isn't comfortable with, I think the end result would have been way more interesting. If you're supposed to be Ink Masters you should consistently be able to do any style of tattooing without flaws- it's a huge ask but that comes with the title of "master" in my opinion.

Kellys move to assign them with 90s hot rods and watercolor was gangster. Loved it.

I had planned on going this year, but kinda blew by booking another holiday so unless I come across a fat stack of cash I won't be going..

Get it lasered. Scars usually don't tattoo too well.

If it's all soft dot work then you probably only need 1 or 2 sessions before you can covered it with a dark as shit WOLF (which is not even close to a panther).

Upper thigh. If your a man or woman, no one will ever see that spot unless you really get into the effort of showing it off.

I also don't think it will translate into a nice tattoo. Change your mind and get a panther with a dagger.

In Ep3 I can't really understand the girls are complaining about regarding skullpicks... Who was supposed to be assigned the shitty canvases when they are all on your team?

Not going after all. Decided that I'd rather go to Costa Rica to surf for the same price...

Someone go get tattooed by Dan Climan at Bait and Schlang. You won't meet a nicer guy.

Unless your tattoo is infected, then there is absolutely no point in using antibiotics. If the shop is so dirty that you have to use antibiotics as a preventive measure to get a clean heal then you might want to re-evaluate where you get tattooed. Antibiotics isn't something you should be taking just for the fun of it. Feel free to do some googling on your own in case you are unaware of this.

From the 2 week photo, it looks like there is a thin scab on the entire thing, that needs to flake off. Skin and scabs doesn't flake if it's moist, so that's why I'd recommend that you simply leave your tattoo alone and dry.

Don't put anything on it. Just leave it alone. It's been more than a week, you should let it dry out and flake naturally.

On that note, what kinda artist recommends an antibiotic ointment, that's fucked up. Never go full retard.

Watch all the interviews here on LST to get an idea how people start.

Get an apprenticeship by asking the same artist at least 100s of times.

Put in a year or two as an apprentice.

???

Be a tattooer.

just don't get an upside down script because it's "for you". if you do, as small as possible, like a 1x1mm total size.

I'm trying to figure out if I have the money for it, flying domestic in Canada is stupid expensive. I can get from Vancouver to NYC for less than to Montreal...

I actually don't see you saying anything wrong? It is hyper mascline posturing, but just look at the imagery of traditional tattoos- it's mostly aimed at men, so is anyone really surprised that a tattooer used the word pussy to describe wimps?

As for the other part, he kinda talks shit about all his friends too that wanted tattoos from him. Then again, most tattooers I've met have started the same way. I guess what they wish for is that people rather come and ask for an apprenticeship instead of just creating shit until they quit or realize that they need training. But the next legendary tattooers will probably also start out with moms india ink or a china machine..

oboogie do you ever play any other card than the age card?

1 of what the artist charges per hour, or shop minimum.

I'm not a fan so I'd just simply not get it anywhere.

Come to Toronto of Vancouver - you'll see tattoos just about everywhere 

I live in Vancouver and I'm more surprised if someone in my social circle doesn't have any tattoos- but I also don't experience that strangers talk to me about my tattoos.

Money and something with tons of electrolytes.

I remember telling my ex that it would be pointless to have my chest tattooed because I'm a hairy guy. Year later I got my chest tattooed. Currently a hairy guy with an awesome chest tattoo. It is still surprisingly visible, and I have no plan on shaving my chest or trim my chest hair any time soon.

I came across this Stoney St. Clair documentary which I couldn't find here on the board:

This popped up on youtube, they kinda forgot to mention that all tattoos should be done upside down cuz it's only for uuuuu <2 <3 <3 <3

Leave it alone, don't touch it or put anything on it...
