Planning on getting a Twilight Zone inspired tattoo from Venom Ink in Maine. I was shooting for a piece on my small/medium upper arm but might just try and work out a half sleeve. Hopefully it won't be too bad if I go that route, longest I've sat is an hour...

Any fans of the Lawrence Arms here?

Welcome Brittany! I think both of those are good ideas. For placement for the anchor I think your ribs would be better than your thigh for the simple reason that thighs are a nice, big space and if you decide to get more tattoos later on, it's better to keep these big spaces for large tattoos. Ribs hurt, yes, but the pain is by no means unbearable and complaining later about how much it hurt is part of the process. Have you thought of an artist yet?

Great advice on the saving the thigh for something bigger, wish I had thought about this when I got my arm tattooed!

I've used a light coat of A&D ointment throughout the day and its always worked for me.

I have the birds off the cover "Blessed/Cursed" by the Casket Lottery on my arm. Good to see Alkaline Trio and Jawbreaker fans on here!

Thanks for the advice, I think I'm going to just switch it up. I've been thinking of going to Jon Sanford or Luke Davis at Iron Works in Portsmouth, NH. I think they do some really nice and clean looking traditional style work.

Breaking Bad is such an amazing show that will never get old in my opinion. I would really like to get a tattoo based off an episode of the Twilight Zone at some point. I feel like its a timeless show that pushes you to think a little deeper.

Yeah I have a tendency to overthink things. In the end all that matters is if I like it anyways. Thanks for the response...and I'll have to try that drinking game sometime hahah

Hey all, I'll start off by saying that I am 26 and have 3 black and grey tattoos totaling about 1.5 hours. I am planning on adding to my left arm where all my tattoos are to make a half sleeve. All my tattoos seem random to a stranger but represent my life and things that have made me who I am, almost like my story so far.

So here's where feedback would be greatly appreciated- Is mixing black&gray work with color pieces a bad idea?

I got into tattoos with black&gray realism but I am currently wanting to continue with traditional color pieces. Thanks!
