  1. Welcome! 

    In these times (and I don't mean Covid related times) it's pretty common to have to wait and patiently pursue the artist of your dreams - assuming you're stuck on just one artist. I actually waited almost 2 years to get to sit down in front of a particularly busy guy. Throwing down extra cash might work with some and piss off others. Working with personalities is always a gamble . . . 

    What style of tattoo are you desiring? $1000 will buy you traveling options . . . 

  2. @Dani2304 You acknowledge that it's too early to tell what it's eventually going to look like and in the meantime you persist in micro-analyzing what you worry might be potential imperfections in an art form with plenty of room for perceived "imperfections". Honestly, I wouldn't recommend proceeding with getting any further and/or larger pieces done anytime in the near future . . . 

  3. In my mind you've already got the acceptable limit = "inspiration". If you take that picture some a willing tattooist and say "I want this EXACTLY as this is" and they trace it out then it's just reproduced artwork, like a cartoon character. 

    If you take that picture to a qualified artist and say I'd like a goat's head and raven similar to this then you're likely to get an original piece of art.

    Hey, so I just got a whole inner forearm sleeve, my tattoo parlor applied the saniderm almost 24 hours ago (when I got the tattoo) and he told me I can leave it on up to 5 days if it doesn’t leak or have water in it. Is this correct? I read on the saniderm  website and it says to change out after 24 hours and apply a second wrap, however he said it should be fine? I’m a little confused lol

    Personally I've had it on for 4 days - and it was gross slush inside but it's all natural and "clean" - and everything came our perfect. Others have changed it after a day because they weren't comfortable with the slush. Those came out fine, too - as long as you're impeccable with keeping it clean in between. 

  5. You may or may not be surprised to learn that we hear this more often these days. 

    Let it ride for awhile. It's not poorly done. Nothing there to be ashamed of. You look fairly young, and your tastes in art and how it appears on your skin will very likely evolve. 

    My guess is you'll eventually add more AROUND it, and that will reduce the impact of what you're seeing right at this early moment.
