  1. appears very good for the style, the problem being that watercolor tattoos aren't typically recommended, as they'll be a was in a few years' time. good luck.

    Hi!

    you don't have to explain shit to anyone man
  3. man, my ass and thighs don't hurt nearly at all, even though everyone else says they're the worst. my back is what kills! yeah, that's the sense of loss at not being fully able to witness our back(sides)!

    New here

    if you're moisturizing a lot it's probably just a clogged pore, which is very common
  5. so interesting to hear the stories. for mine, it was like, "here's my hourly rate." "here are some ideas; I think this one" deposit. show up. let the journey begin.....
  6. I assume you're not seeing real or good Japanese tattooing....
  7. I see what you're saying but it looks like a really well done piece. I think once you live with it for a while you'll be really happy with it. My advice is to enjoy it!
  8. jesus! so is this unrelated to the tattoo? the tattoo just exacerbated it? very sorry to hear this.
  9. mine is a bit different, but I got it well after she died. it's a minogame: a Japanese folk turtle with seaweed on its back, surrounded by waves and maple leaves. it represents felicity and longevity, and for me it represents my mother who liked fall and the ocean. death sucks, death sucks so much, but at least we can get nice tattoos
  10. so very sorry to hear that; it's good to be able to memorialize her in this way.
  11. do NOT laser it. I think we all feel a little bummed when things don't turn out as we envision it, but that's why you have to trust your artist, and trust you made the right decision choosing your artist. kirin usually look the way you describe, with the legs sticking up at the back/in the air, and the head in the front. and they're a mythological animal, so....
  12. all my pieces are meaningful: my backpiece is the Buddhist protector of the heavenly musicians--I'm a musician. on my calf I've got a minogame in autumn with water--a minogame symbolizes long life and happiness, and for me represents my mother.

    Overthinking

    I think you have to post a few times before you can get into other forums. cheers!
  14. cool idea. this year it was all backpiece all the time: we finished the background and red and started the green. this coming year I hope to finish the whole damn thing!
  15. if you want to mix it up then keeping styles consistent doesn't seem so important. that's a typical American approach. it'd be up to your artist to make it work visually. cheers!
