You are going to have sooooooo much fun :cool:

hence this thread.

hence this forum, bro

Are there way too many feathers, especially on ducks? The body is not a pillow. What's wrong with these warped pieces of poultry that they don't have any concept of what it means to be a living bird? You're not an eagle that rents grass for piles of snakes and crossbones.

Hello, welcome. I'd suggest reading through any thread that looks interesting to you. You'll find good info everywhere. Hope you enjoy!

@growltiger I did, thank you!

@Graeme Thanks dude! I had a blast with it.

@hogg Cheers, thank you! You should get one! They're such gorgeous flowers, I think those are called Hagoromo Chrysanthemums. Been wanting to do one for a while but always been intimidated by the structure and complexity of the design. Turns out they follow a pretty simple formula.

Aw man, everyone is getting such great stuff lately. I haven't been tattooed this year yet. I think tomorrow I will be making an appointment with some friends to get one existing piece touched up and another finished. Way overdue for that, so there's something to look forward to.

Anyway I think most of you have seen this on the 'gram, but here it is again

On my knee mate:)

Ugh, bummer!!! Can't even imagine wanting to laser a piece off right after you got it. ;__;

@Graeme damn, damn, damn, damn. Congrats!

Hey, welcome to LST :)

I think you're in good hands. To draw on an age old cliche, a picture's worth a thousand words. Images draw meaning because they tell stories, and it seems like you're found the right image for your internal dialogue. You're in the hands of a great artist, so just trust that their vision will collaborate with yours and I guarantee that you'll get a tattoo that will bring you great happiness for years to come. Good luck on your next piece and be sure to post up some pictures!

Hello, welcome! Do you have any tattoos yet?

If you liked Ip Man, you will love Jet Li's Fearless and Ong Bak: Thai Warrior.

Ong Bak is definitely another favorite, and I'll be sure to check out Fearless. Thanks!

This is definitely my favorite thread on the entire forum.

haha that is weird! I see one girl in that photo, but there were tons and they all basically looked the same, which was funny

AA Bondy is aight, but I really like this song.

Carolina Chocolate Drops!

I have experienced some of this before. My thoughts are that it's probably scar tissue which has not fully settled in/healed up. A lot of bolder work can create scarring even if it's a really clean tattoo and it doesn't necessarily look off or out of place. Peoples' skin scars differently and heals at different rates, and I've had some tattoos that took several months to fully settle into the skin even after the scabbing and peeling is over.

Anyway, that's my guess given some of what I've noticed with healing my tattoos. It might not necessarily be what's up with hers, but if it is, it'll probably go away within a few more months.

Did this one yesterday, 5.5 hour one shot. Tough girl!

@Wilhell I know I've already said it, but I really love your backpiece. The powder blue with the orangey reds looks real slick. :cool:

Sweet! See you guys!
