    Crappy picture but my Ariel is finally done. This is 2 days after and I’m pretty bruised and swollen (my skin is super sensitive). I’m going to be working on a full sleeve with King Tritons castle, an octopus and possibly Flounder. I love Mermaids!!

    Don't put anything on it. You are smothering it. Just let it heal.

    Haha yeah, back then (1995) if you were 14 and had parental permission you could get tattooed. Actually that was one of my better little tattoos compared to the ones I got when I was a little older.

    I have a 5 month old son now and no way in hell is he getting tattooed till he’s 18 and has the money to afford something good.

    I always wanted a tattoo since birth. One day me and my friend were stoned out of our minds, somehow got onto the topic of tattoos and then he says "I know a dude who does sick sleeves for like $100 bro" then I was convinced it was a good idea. I was so excited and eager to get a tattoo that I WAS NOT THINKING STRAIGHT- I just wanted to get it. Went the next day , gave the dude $100 and gave me a crap rose sleeve. I regretted it like the next day hahaha. Moral of the story: Have patience and invest in quality artist ... and don't do drugs

    This is the 'bad tattoos' sub forum however, so this is the correct place for such a thread. ;)

    so what ? why is that an issue here ? what is the problem with someone asking a question ? what about new members ? or people that don't come here everyday ? I've been here 3 years and have not seen a thread about this topic.even if it has been asked multiple times,new input or reminders or new ideas are always good IMO.

    I sit well. I tip well. I don’t bring drama. You know what that gets me? Back in! I’ve had artists come in hours before the shop opens, stay late and fit me into their otherwise insanely booked schedules. I’m basically commissioning a piece of art from them for every tattoo. I am more than happy to tip!

    I'm an Australian in Australia. My artists charge $180 an hour. I make $35 an hour. I don't tip.

    I just got my first tattoo, and I didn't even know that tattoo artists customarily got tipped here until someone mentioned it here.
    Then, the guy who actually did my tattoo was British. And I'm pretty sure he'd been here for awhile, but he seemed a bit startled that I tipped him.
    Just a completely awkward experience there. More so since I do most things awkwardly.

    In the hair? It looks like normal peeling to me. Try not to pull those larger parts off. You could take ink out with them.

    NearFantastica reacted to Synesthesia in Help!!!   
    I don't think the rubbing caused the peeling, it's probably a coincidence. I usually start peeling around day 4. It might have hurt because you were pulling on the scabs, and also the skin underneath is usually extra sensitive as it's peeling. Worst case scenario, you need a touch up, but you're probably fine. Let it finish healing and look for damage after a couple months or so.

    NearFantastica reacted to Graeme in Kids Names Tattoo   
    Can I suggest finding a tattooer who does really nice script and just getting their names done simply and beautifully? I don't really understand all the posts above suggesting the necessity of finding a representative image here: it's your child's name, it has way more potent symbolism on its own than any design you could think of.

    I second Descendent. I personally would get a tattoo of something that represents my kid as opposed to just text with a random image.
    Both of my sisters have tattoos of my nieces/nephews names and they're awful. Might be an unpopular opinion but I've never seen a name tattoo that made me go "Wow thats awesome"
