    Why are bad tattoos so popular?

    obviously, you are not a well cultured person.... I will say this one last time and if you still don't under stand then what ever, I cant make you see my point of view with words...

    different reigns have different meanings for words and different spellings, it dosnt matter if you are using an English style alphabet. the way the words are used and spelt can tell you where a person is from.... I can see how you might get confused with religion as that has broke the language border with age

    kind of figured some one who has been tattooing for 9 yrs would be able to see that, but im not here to restructure your brain

    Hmm, while I've never been accused of being 'cultured' I have had the good fortune of traveling a LOT over the years. This isn't really even worth responding to, but it chaps me when people just toss out mis-information disguised as a truism. Unless you're going somewhere really heavy, you won't be discriminated against simply for having an english word tattooed on you no matter how it is "spelt". And if you're going somewhere that heavy it's likely you'll draw some heat, tattoos or not.

    In my non-cultured opinion if you're looking for in-depth discussion your approach might be a bit off.

    And for the record, I don't tattoo. Not sure where you got that.

    I'm still not sure how the language used in the text would clue someone in to where you're from unless the tattoo says so explicitly.

    Let's say youre standing in line with an American, Canadian, Australian, Brit, New Zealander, South African etc etc etc and they all have tattoos with text (in English). Without talking to them can you tell where each is from?

    Pretty sure this is a non-issue.

    Trying to figure out quote function

    @sweetling

    kind of strange for someone with a wrist-text tattoo to be admonishing another person for a wrist-text tattoo, no? I'm sure many of those people with (admittedly cheesy) text tattoos feel the same way about words as you do. They likely also had a "very personal" reason for getting the tattoo...

    @ShyGypsy

    what do you mean about not getting a text tattoo to prevent racial discrimination while traveling? This is a very weird statement to me.

    Tegaderm/Saniderm/Tatuderm healing process

    So I followed the instructions on the back of my saniderm and unwrapped my first wrap about 16 hours after, but when it came off it's almost like it's blistered my skin around the edge of the wrap, has anybody else had this problem? Or at least heard of this happening I have pretty sensitive skin and had presumed this would solve all my healing problems

    I've had this happen in areas where the edge of the derm lays in a very mobile patch of skin IE crease of the elbow/ditch and armpit. I'd try to position the derm edges to avoid these areas when possible.

    Seconded. Haven't heard the new E-wiz yet (well, we listened to it at a recent tattoo session but it's a big torso tattoo, so I didn't really 'listen' to it, know what I mean?)

    Here's one:

    my 2 cents anyway based on this bit of your post:

    "I know that I am picky in terms of the level of detail that I'm looking for but to me, that's ok because this is something that is permanent."

    All mediums have limitations and nothing lasts forever...even tattoos. How much of this type of work have you seen in real life? I would try to seek some out on real people before committing a ton of space to it for a first tattoo. There are some members here that have some excellent examples of very detailed work ( @peterpoose, @MoistTowelette are two that come to mind) but it also seems like this style has to really be executed with a lot of experience to hold up.

    Good luck!
