    got this little banger yesterday(st patrick's day) on my rt leg.(yes the outline looks off,but it's not,the saniderm makes it look that way)

    ya, like he said,looks fine except for too much goo on it, maybe try a light coat a few times a day of fragrance free Aveeno instead.

    LOL

    yes ! you answered your own question IMO, sleep good and don't drink alcohol the night before (or the day of), pre-hydrate the day before and day of and while being tattooed,(water or Gatorade) eat a good non greasy healthy meal right before getting tattooed, bring candy (I bring M&M's and Skittles) to eat during the tattoo(the sugar will keep you from passing out),I also bring a banana,beef jerky, and a few cold bottles of water in a little ice chest(no artist has ever minded me doing this,as a matter of fact they have liked it). keeping up body sugars,potassium,and electrolytes will help to keep you from passing out , get yourself mentally in a good place.in the days leading up to and during the tattoo. ask for a few 5 min breaks to stand up ,stretch,and get the kinks out. this all helps me have a better overall tattoo experience,and the artist will appreciate it too.

    relax,it looks great,and when it's fully healed in 6 months take a look at it and see if it needs any touchups, for now,enjoy it,wear it with pride and move on to the next tattoo idea and inspiration. you have great skin for tattooing,so be thankful for that and make sure you triple check your research on the next artist you choose.

    LOL glad that's not you ! LOL and I had many bikes over the 30 years I rode, no bike right now here was the last one I had
  10. Dan
    h,what do you mean "allowed" to ride again ? just because of the weather ? or is it an actual restriction ? and what do you ride ?
  11. Dan
    good catch, I assumed it was his tattoo because the title was " Please rate my tattoo! ",
  12. Dan
    0-10 ? IMO that's maybe a 4,sorry but it is a mess IMO.
  13. Dan
    welcome,that's how I started getting tattooed in the 80's(I'm 57), like you said,in those days we walked into a first come first serve shop and picked flash off the wall.
  14. Dan
    that sounds fun.
  15. Dan
    interesting,I have never heard of that and it goes against all I have ever heard of re: tattoo healing. not judging,just commenting.

    maybe not so good,a little reading on it here https://www.tattoodo.com/a/2016/03/the-test-of-time-tattoo-styles-that-won-t-stand-it-watercolor/

    this is the definition IMO, and at this forum as is at most "tattoo" related forums the common definition of scratcher is this. "An inexperienced, untalented, unclean and untrained tattooer. Though usually found working out of home kitchens, they have been known to find work in disreputable tattoo shops. The word "Scratcher" comes from the look of the, so called "tattoos", they produce. Looking more like colored scratchs, than recognizable images." or this, "A tattoo artist who is untrained and usually can't tatoo worth a shit. They frequently place their clients health at risk by re-using needles, not sterilizing equipment, and not covering their machines." "Scratcher—Someone who tattoos without any training, health code regulations or the proper use of equipment typically causing damage to the skin of people they ink." pretty much sums it up. ======================================================================== sources: http://www.urbandictionary.com http://www.inkedmag.com/tattoo-lingo/ and a because I mean no disrespect and only mean this post in a positive good way.

    try taking an OTC anti-inflammatory like any ibuprofen, try icing it with ice in a plastic bag wrapped in a towel. and like was said,try to keep off your feet and keep it elevated.
  20. Dan
    I agree.
  21. Dan
    LOL dude ! you need to relax,it's on there for now,it's a cool fucking tattoo, live with it,get used to it,be good with it,it's on you,chill out. own it and look at it in a brighter light.keep your head up ,smile,and plan your next tattoo. this normal feeling of "tattoo remorse" WILL go away,I have many many tattoos and still get that feeling right after a tattoo.(maybe cuz of the money) LOL

    I Have a tattoo from Oliver Peck and it has a mistake in it,but it's a tattoo and I don't dwell on it, it's no big deal,I have forgotten about it. tattoos are hand made art on the human body, that imperfection on your 6 is tiny and not worth stressing over or trying to fix, relax and move on to your next tattoo.

    how do you know you were the first one to have a certain design in the first place ? (just saying) if you do have an original piece of art,and if someone does copy it ?! so that's a compliment then. like was said,who cares anyway ? personally I wouldn't be bothered by it,I wouldn't give a shit.
  25. Dan
