well they sound like a$$holes

I don't think it's weird , I think it's a really nice tattoo.

22 hours in! I’m in love. I know people think it’s weird a woman has a turkey vulture back piece but I’m stoked ❤️

Yakuza bath house, 1947

Got my whole back and butt cheeks lined last weekend, and I was expecting the absolute worse. I will say that certain spots were awful (base of spine, love handles), but the stomach was definitely worse for me. The very first line that hit my stomach made my entire body flush and start sweating in a way that was disgusting and embarrassing. Haha.

Got my back outlined by Scott Sylvia last weekend. East meets west style mashup of a reaper and koi. As usual, he FLEW through it and crushed. Lined the whole back and butt cheeks in 3.5 hours. 
I go back for two more sessions in June, then we'll figure out the next steps after that. 
I'm not really posting full photos anywhere until it's done, but will circle back here if I decide to post any detail or close ups. I have sent to people on IG, so if we're friends and you're curious, hit me up.

if you buy cheap shit , you get what you pay for,

my inner thighs and inner biceps and knee ditches 

Welcome, and let's see some pictures!
"final one" . . . that's funny. 
 

Just talked to a guy at the gas station who had his palm and fingers outlined yesterday. 
 
Outlined.
 
He is going back for more.
 
😲

To everyone who said the belly was awful....
 
 
 
 
 
....you are correct. Holy shit did I not expect that. 
So, Belly, ribs, and even getting close to the knee pit would be tops for me. 
 

this is a thing for me,I believe face, neck, and hand tattoos are earned after being heavily tattooed on other parts of the body.
 

I'm so sorry... I didn't realise this, I thought I could ask tattoo advice. Will be aware of this next time, I apologise again.

I'm in love with all my tattoos, they are all very special because they represent me

Here's a decent photo of it. Nearly healed now. 🙂 
This was a gift from my tattoo artist ... he's moving three hours away. Boooooo. But I'm happy for him. It's a great new studio, and he'll be closer to his family.

it looks fine, let it heal for 4 to 6 weeks , when you are breathing, moving, trying to get a pic, it's going to look off, crooked, whatever, it's on a human  body ! relax, like I said, it looks great. it looks  straight to me.

Im Nicolle and Im happy to join your page to research about tattoo removal and the problems it causes some people. 

It's so weird how stuff like that happens. Like you can see in the pics that red was totally fine on the upper part of my leg o_O And the artist commented on how weird it was because the red on my arms is also perfect and healed like a gem! So it seems unlikely it's some kind of full-body red ink allergy ... the human body is so weird, I almost seems like different areas can be "sensitive" or "allergic" or whatever you call it while the rest is fine

this happened to me, I had a reaction  to red on my right arm, but many many tattoos later and many with red I have not ever had a bad reaction to red again.

I have worked for a plastic surgeon for almost 30 years and much of this issue could relate to the body site itself, possibly combined with the actual technique used to create the particular design (shading and color, with more vigorous application). Reds are notorious, though there is no agreement on which reds, and what people are sensitive to what pigments, etc. The lower anterior (aka pretibial) leg is the worst spot for healing due to the poor blood flow and the fact that the lower leg is under pressure as we walk and support our weight. 
So, if you're contemplating another tattoo I'd wager if it is not located in this area the odds are good that you won't have a similar experience. Considering your good result overall it would not stop me either.

Getting my left sleeved touched up next week and getting another fun little tattoo ... just gotta find a good spot for it.
