I discovered solid tattoos from a former co-worker by watching as his two sleeves progressed.
I have friends with rough looking tattoos and when tattoos become the topic I always try to encourage them to lots of research, most don't do forums but I suggest LST all the time.
I think where some of the 'elitist' idea comes from is every tattoo isn't epic in nature.

Welcome to the site! The ppl here can def point you towards a proper shop! I look forward to seeing your new tattoo.

First, thank you for your service! Second, you have some rad tattoos! Welcome to LST

If you guys like one off T-Shirts you should sign up for their email list, they send emails daily with that days t's. Their artists make designs you can't get anywhere else.

Spot on, looks clean.

good luck lol

Maybe this answer is in that thread, but I've seen ppl told to post their questions in the intro threads, being they can not start new ones, so OP I believe you posted your question correctly and like already stated, what you're seeing is completely normal in my exp and should be just fine soon enough.

Wasn't actually referring to him when mentioning the forum police..
As I said he raised valid points..
The whole idea that we can't talk about hand tattoos on a tattoo forum because the OP didn't have enough tattoos or experience to deserve them is utter BS...

what's wrong with talking about hand & finger tattoos on a tattoo forum ?

Are you unsatisfied with how your tattoos are currently healing? If you are satisfied I would stick to your current method.

OH they've got bigger problems than her. Even if they won the lawsuit, they're still Nickelback.......and no lasering can erase that...

Don't get me wrong mate you raise some valid points here..
Not a gripe at you personally but the amount of self righteousness and self entitlement that pervades this forum is ridiculous...yes I have a lot of tattoos but no I don't think that because of that I have more right to talk about tattoos or get certain types or places tattooed..I think ull find that there are plenty of cleanskins more knowledgable about tattoos than 99.9% of those who are heavily tattooed..the forum police on here need to get a fucking life and stop acting like tattoos are some form of sacred entitlement that only those who embrace the culture can understand...tattooing is as natural to humans as breathing and yes I'm sorry to all on here that tattooing has gone from a sub culture to mainstream but word of advice get the fuck over it...

No one here is going to encourage you to produce bad tattoos, on you or anyone else.

For us and for you.

Why would you taste it if it smelled like it?! 2 out of 3 is good enough.

if it looks like piss, smells like piss and tastes like piss it probably is indeed piss.

I'll never understand why the community gets worked up or angry when people want 'meaningful tattoos' to commemorate events or periods in their life, I would wager the vast majority of tattoos(especially for first timers) carry some significant memory, I know mine did and I'd bet a lot of people hear are the same. Now I have some tattoos that I just liked, but tattoos being permanent reminders(good/bad) attract people.
Everyone is different, like different things, like diff tattoos, get tattoos for different reasons?
So what?
If we all likes the same tattoos, same styles and got tattooed for the same reasons, that'd be the dumbest and most boring shit ever.

Welcome! We always like to see tattoos so feel free to post them up!

Bringing food and or sweets to the shop is one of the best random surprises you can do for us/your tattooer/local shop. That always makes our day.
Funny that this got brought up today; I did that today for the guys at the shop working on my truck. Just showed up with 3 pizzas and got some high-fives and split. A random 'thanks' and show of appreciation for people doing you a service goes a long way.
