The Tattoo Megathread vs. Tramp Stamp

Here we go guys!! 2.5 hours today. He did a fucking amazing job, the flowers have so much definition now. I will have to go back again and he's going to give more dimension and shading to the flowers and branch. All he did today was add detail through black outlining.

I prefer "None Shall Pass", personally. I have the feeling you might regret "Abandon All Hope" later down the track.

Plus, in an artistic sense, "None Shall Pass" looks more even and asthetically pleasing :)


Yeah, I feel you. That's what I'm going with. I just have to figure out a decent font to get it done in, and maybe something added along with it. Who knows, though.
 
pff, it looks awesome hun!! Love it! <3
How'd you go with the pain? What did you decide to do?
 
I never received the anesthetic creams. They charged my credit card but they never sent me the stuff, I'm pretty pissed and will be calling them tomorrow.

I took a couple different medications and that helped tremendously! It still hurt, but it wasn't at all unbearable this time. I also went in with a completely full stomach and a couple bottles of soda to keep my blood sugar up. This experience was about a million times better than the last time, and it helps that I finally got what I wanted.

I will go back in probably October or so and get the colors worked on, he only worked in black on Friday. We ran out of time or I would have had him work on the color as well, but his next appointment showed up.

I'm so excited. I was just all smiles when I left there. To finally have something that I'm proud of is just priceless.
 
^^ Good luck! Looking forward to seeing pics of it afterwards ;)

pff that is so great hun, I'm so glad you had such a good experience with such a beautiful result!! <3
 
Today is the day. But, I changed my mind. I'm getting my knuckles done instead of my chest. Fuck it. I'll report back with photos whenever I get done.
 
^^ Well, show us yours then mate, by all means. Let's see how fucking awesome they are in comparison ;) 8)
 
Here's a tattoo I created using PhotoShop and Picasa. Thinking of getting it done on the back of my hand.

sorry, hun, but on the back of your hand is a terrible idea imo. if i saw someone with that in that position, i'd get depressed and feel really sad for them.
 
It appears BLers have even worse taste in tattoos than they do music. Good stuff, thanks for the lulz.


It's not YOUR body, now is it? And whether you approve, or even like the tattoos people get, really doesn't matter. Now does it? Yeah, I didn't think so, bro.

^^ Well, show us yours then mate, by all means. Let's see how fucking awesome they are in comparison ;) 8)

True talk, son. =D

...But, the real reason I came back to this thread for y'all, was to show some photos! I fucking love it. I got it done in black & a bright teal color, and the teal pops hard! & it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. My ring finger and my pointer finger on my left hand sucked though. But she said some fingers would be a lot more painful than others. But, whatever, the pain is definitely worth the end result. And now, I will show you the end:

Getting worked on, by my favorite artist Robin HM! <3



And now, the finished product. Although, it's not that good of lighting. But, I will update as soon as I get the photos she took.



I knew it was going to look good, but this exceeded any expectations I had at all. Now, I truly believe my hands are fucking SEXY! <3
 
Need to cover up a tattoo! Ideas?

I got a tattoo a couple years ago with my ex best friend and we had a huge falling out and are no longer friends...we will remain that way forever. I knew it was a bad idea, but I didn't think she would betray me like she did so I want to cover up this tattoo (I will show you a pic). I talked to my tattoo artist and he said that even though it's small it will be hard to cover up, but maybe a big red rose will work...at least that's what he said...here's the tattoo...not the love tattoo, but the knot on my wrist.

ideas?
 
What about getting it physically removed?

It will be painful, requires several passes, and expensive, but if you don't have a good idea of what you would like to replace it with, then I wouldn't get it covered up with something else that you could potentially hate.

The design is small enough that it might not take that many visits to have it removed.
 
i like the tattoo. i wish u liked it and it meant something else to you. it's quite attractive really.

are u religious at all?

I wish I could keep it, but I just can't have a reminder of someone who completely betrayed me in the worst way possible.

I am spiritual.

and I don't have the money to get it professionally removed. :(
