Well, the good news is that I can't see whatever it was that you were trying to cover up. I honestly don't see any way to improve it, although maybe some else can make a suggestion. But do pick a better artist to start with next time. So sorry you got a tattoo that you weren't happy with twice!

i agree with msrad, also next time be sure to research your tattooer and check their portfolio is up to the job before you book in. good luck!

Shannon - your replies make zero sense here.
Just because I choose not to get my head or soles tattooed doesn't mean I or anyone is judging someone who does.
Also, just because a tattooer doesn't want to preform a certain tattoo that doesn't make them any less of a tattooer or person.
In fact, I would be inclined to say if you have no problem with doing things like tattooing a 16 year olds hands, that would make you in my eyes less of a tattooer.
This is a subject that is very personal and no one should be judging anyone on what part of their body they will or won't tattoo.
And for the record, the guy I said I worked with who wouldn't tattoo hands and faces owns his shop and has zero problem making a living without doing tattoos he doesn't feel right about.

Shannon, if I understand you correctly which be honest your past few posts is a little bit difficult. We are not judging other people by the places that they have gotten tattooed. We're saying places that we don't want to get tattooed or to get tattooed yet. Not everyone on this board has jobs that take kindly to visable tattoos, or not everyone wants tattoos that are out in the open all the time (neck/face). A cock and balls on the top of the head, yeah it's an odd tattoo, but if that's what the guy wanted alright. If I misunderstood your post forgive me, but it just seems like rantings when your drunk. So take care and have fun.

Just a little fluff piece but sweet all the same. nice to see nice stories involving heavily tattooed people for a change rather than the usualy freakshow shit.

Dan Santoro - Part 3 - Tattoo Age | VBS.TV

Ed Hardy on Richard Stell.... I begged for a picture. Worth it.

Got the preview link this evening from the lovely Juliette- Shawn's right, it's really great! Dan comes across as someone who's really humble and who cares a lot about what he does, rather than having the whole "rock star attitude" people are used to with other shows, and I think it's really awesome.
Grime next week- can't wait!

There's too many he has done, it seems like he does at least one in every place we stop... But, it's one of our favorite tattoos... I am proud of the Knee Tiger he wasn't perfectly happy with it, but... that's how he rolls.

i have this from Chad Koeplinger (the picture is 'backwards' as i had to take it in a mirror) -

Just out of curiosity, do you have any tattoos currently? If not, I'll caution you that you're in for a fantastic ride, but also one that will be very (very!) expensive and trying. But I applaud you for your lofty goal and wish you the best of luck achieving it.

too many people are trying to "be cool", it's like being in primary school. i deleted facebook, it has resolved so much exposure to negativity. my google+ has 2 people currently. i wasn't very shocked that she had an overdose, i wish i was more shocked that people think it's funny or try to make jokes about it.

I was thinking, and then Richard confirmed... As far as we know, he got one of the first rose morphs on the back of his thigh, a piece by Ed Hardy, it's a design that he saw that was in a slide show he saw back in 1992... It hung for years in the shop, and no one ever got it... He was "amazed" no one had gotten the piece yet... And they actually didn't call it a morph, the term they first used was, "HYBRID"... It's a Panther-Rose... It can be seen in the book, Tattooing the Invisible Man.
It's one of Richards favorite tattoos.

Love Steve Boltz sentiments about "custom " work ,I want a design that everyone has cause its a tried and trusted classic .I was meaning to include custom in the irritating slang terms ,for me its right up there with free-hand .

I have no fucking idea what this is about...

hope this is ok to post, i took a picture from a page in 'outlaw biker tattoo revue' from the early 90's that i bought online some months ago.. tattoo by Ed Hardy.

+1 on the jodie marsh thing, it was pretty much version 1.0 of the whole 'tattoo school' thing.

Mario Barth, Angelina Jolie, Shaq and the director from Miami Ink are more influential to tattooing than Bob Roberts??!! Someone should kick Bob Baxter in his pussy!
