I'd be asking a certified, Japanese traditionalist to offer his/her opinion on the whole thing being re-worked. Definitely at least needs outlining, but the Koi is looking washed out, too.

I agree, do a little research to see who in your area works well in this style. Seems like a lot of it could be cleaned up, if you don't want to go the route of removal.

I tried hush gel once because it was given to me, and I wanted to be informed about it. I used it on a very small tattoo, and it seemed to work pretty well. I have heard about it being way worse in the long run though.

My guess would be it's a combination of multiple factors. I have noticed rotary machines have a little more discomfort for me personally but heal really well... Also the style of tattoo, and location getting it can be a factor.

Anytime people being baked goods in our shop we're happy. We're all fat kids at heart. My all time favorite tips were a ton of fireworks, and a military coin given to me from a colonel.

I found a couple of mine on there. When I clicked on the images it says page not found. Does this mean they may be back tracking?

Anyone got any Adam West stories, from Tallahassee? He was around before I started tattooing but I've heard some crazy stories from a couple different people.

living in Florida a sharks tooth always seems like a fun choice for me

It was a small one but I couldn't talk a girl out of getting an infinity symbol on the inside of one of her toes

They won't keep airing these shows if the ratings aren't there. Best thing to do is fight the morbid curiosity of watching it, and encourage those you talk to about it to do the same. Clients always ask if I watch those shows, it's a great chance to tell them why they shouldn't either.

Hey Tim, I used to live in G-ville and am old friends with Dave K.

Hey Andy definitely heard you're name mentioned here and there, nice to sort of meet you.

Pat there is something mis-wired in you

Finally got around to registering. My name is Tim and I work at Anthem Tattoo Parlor in Gainesville, Fl. Been tattooing just a couple years, and always happy to find a place to see what other people are doing. I love my craft, and try to paint as much as I can (except for an occasional day of fishing here and there). I know I have a lot to learn and hope this site will be one more tool to facilitate that. Thanks
