Finishing up this piece tomorrow night. Excited to finally have it finished.. It's my "getting out of the Army" present to myself.

Just finished my first session on this piece this afternoon. Finishing up in May. Work done by Chris Chisholm at Halo Tattoo in Syracuse, NY

Yeah, a body suit of cats all done the way he did them in the very first episode of this season.

I didn't mean elitist as a bad way of looking at tattoos and the culture. It may not have been the right word because I've never seen anyone get berated for not agreeing with the masses on here. But how many people look at tattoos as art appreciation? I promise you, not many if you think about how many people have tattoos as a whole. That's why I said the majority of the population doesn't care about the tattoo culture or the artistry behind getting them. They look at it as paying for a service. Which is why you hear about price haggling and trying to get discounts.
I'm not broke by any means necessary but I'm not rich either, but there are some tattooers I would love to get work from, but I will never be tattooed by because I won't pay that much for a tattoo, but I do believe the saying about cheap tattoos and good tattoos.
But I am also the type of person that will never ever get a full back piece or chest piece. Some people view tattoos as something that they are ok spending a lot of disposable income on while most of the population is not. Me personally, I have things I would rather spend those thousands of dollars on than getting tattooed that people on here wouldn't agree with.
It's like traditional tattoos on here. From everything I've seen most of the people here seem to love traditional style tattoos and flash. Me, I don't think I could ever get a tattoo of flash off a wall, or traditional style because I don't like them.

I have no tattoos anywhere near the veins used to draw blood in the arm and when I joined the military, before leaving for basic I had to be poked 4 different times (twice in each arm) to get one vile of blood, and these were by LPN's and PA's. Sometimes there's more to it that has nothing to do with tattoos. Dehydration, having deep veins can both be issues. Even an RN in a hospital surgical unit has a problem putting an IV in me last month when I had surgery.
As I am going into the nursing field after college, I really want to be good at this as possible to not cause undue stress/pain on someone.

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.

Looks like me and a buddy are going to be going to this. Since it's only a 2 hour drive or so, we'll probably go on Saturday and spend the day. Maybe bring a little extra cash and maybe get some work done with a walk-up. Their Facebook page is a little updated, but they said for the most part all the artists from last year are gonna be back with a few changes.

The fact that he's defending a "studio" that seems the complete opposite of legit, speaks volumes..

Maybe that's supposed to be a saggy breasted luchador wrestler?

Wow.. That is way to intricate to try and go through, and if you're using a diagram like that to decide on a design or style, I personally think you are not getting tattoos for the right reasons.

Just booked to do a b&g piece from Chris Chisolm at Halo Tattoo in Syracuse, NY on April 6th.
He came recommended by Joe Shit so I checked him out and liked what I saw. I'm getting the statue of Hercules fighting Cerberus at Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, with whatever he wanted to use for the background.

In case anyone missed it on Spike, it's on again tomorrow at 5pm eastern.

I'm in the Army and this gem of a shop is right outside one of the gates to the base. The name has changed and they say the old place was sold to this new guy, but it's just as bad.. I remember seeing a teenager standing on the side of the road in front of the store with a sign that said "free tattoos".
And of course being right outside a military base they get a lot of clients. Half the shops in this town I could post here.. Had a buddy of mine who has quite a few tattoos get skulls done on each of his wrists that should match but they're not even close.
