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).

Here are my yokai made by Dave Cummings. Love them so much. 
@a_beukeveld your hannya is gorgeous but that's no surprise! I bet it's already healing super well!
I also got a great little skunk from Nick Colella!
 

Lil' anchor by Josh Henderson

Had a blast at the convention!  Was great to meet @polliwog @Fala and was also great seeing @Graeme and @Pugilist.  Briefly saw @Shaun1105 which was cool but missed @BrianH due to walking past every booth except the one he was being tattooed at. Feel pretty dumb about that since it was directly behind the one I was hanging out at. Also bummed to have missed seeing Sam  whose handle name eludes me at the moment.  (Mitslam??)
Got this by Nick Colella on Saturday in the same booth and at the same time as @Graeme was getting an awesome tattoo by Robert Ryan. Absolutley love it and had a great time talking to Nick. Such a great dude and awesome tattooer. This is my first leg tattoo. On the side of my left calf. 

I got this Baphomet head from Tim Lehi last month. Why? Easily my favorite tattooist, and I think he understands what I am going for. He has tattooed me a few times and always gives me suitable tattoos for me, like he knows me, ha.

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?

if I can,and it wasn't drawn directly me,I always ask for the original art and stencil and I ask them to sign the art,Alycia did for me. :)
I have gotten the art from several artists in the past.
I like to frame them for my office.

Haven't posted in quite a while so i'll update you all on a couple of new(ish) additions.
First up is from the Bristol tattoo convention in June, done by Stewart Robson:

And this one i got a couple of days ago from Marcos Attwood at Broad Street Studio, in Bath

Not particularly great photos of either one but i'm sure you get the idea

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.

ya I know,it's in 2 threads,but I love this one I got from Alycia Harr at Classic Tattoo in Grass valley today.
It was an early birthday present from my wife.

probably my favorite tattoo that I have
by Robert Ryan - Electric in Asbury NJ

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.

By Chad Koeplinger while visiting Art Work Rebels here in Portland.  This is the last stop on his 50 States trip, so stoked to be a part of it!

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...

The center of the chest was the most painful for me. Right on the sternum. It was a 4 hour sit and I was a huge bitch about it. The best way to describe it is that it was flavourful. I could feel it in my mouth and tongue.  Right at the coccyx and at top of the sternum, bellow the neck was the worst.

Ive gotten a few sinse my last post on here.
Chest and skull/dagger are by Josh Peters.
Kingyo is by Daryl Hart.
Tiger by Shaun Martinson.
Heart and flies are by Pat Mcfarlane. (pardon the saniderm)

Pagoda was good...
Peony by Rubendall, fall botanicals by Grez, Sailor Jerry swallows by Scott and filler peacock feather by Virginia Elwood. Sorry that the color saturations are all over the place (the peony and feather look pretty normal). Butt tattoos hurt!!

My first ever tattoo!
Done by Pedro Soos at Frontier Tattoo, Cardiff.

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?
