Yea, okay, i'm happy you know so much.
Thats how you do it. All my tattoos are unseen unless I want them to be.
Even if they aren't, having tattoos = unemployed is fucking super stupid.
So do you guys know that guy with the strange and weird looking Stick 'n' Poke tattoos? Well, that's me. I also have some professional made ones but I prefer the broken look and the ugliness of Stick 'n' Poke.

I know that these types of tattoos are even more controversial even in the tattoo community but for me, nothing is more personal.

Using that in anything other than a tribal or rudimental pattern just looks disgusting. They don't look like they'll age well either. I'd take a tattoo gun anything day of the week over that.
Yeah, that's totally ok with me. I'm very well aware what most people want when it comes to tattoos. The aging part is not true though. Some of my tats are almost 20 years old. I use tattoo ink and tattoo needles. Not ash and piss, lol.

I have this tattoo.... And I got it originally about 15 years ago. I love it. I've had it recolored and enlarged twice and I am ready for it again.... but this time...
I want to un-tribal'ify it.
It seems like it would be easy enough. But I am coming up short on ideas. Do any of you feel like offering some advice? I don't want to do anything in the middle - but I'd like to figure out a way to enlarge it, but to make thing thing look less tribal, and more - I don't know - Victorian maybe. I like the art style seen in a lot of compasses from old maps. I don't have lots of tattoos, I have this one, which I want big. One big tattoo.
Anyone want to offers some ideas on how to un-tribalify this thing?
Thank you!

P.S. Age of Sail, Age of Discovery era maps and their compasses would be a design inspiration. I don't hate this.... and maybe that can be worked in somehow:

Are you looking for opinions? Because if so - let me say that in general, you don't want something you can actually see. You'll get SO sick of looking at it, I promise. Think about how many times in a day you see your arm. In short sleeves, with a forearm tattoo - we're talking hundreds and maybe thousands of glances in a day. That was the killer for my forearm tattoo, which is just about gone now, thanks to my lazer guy.
Now as for that design, it's not suited to my taste, but I can see the appeal. I like mine for its' meaning. I love the sun, and outdoor crap. So I got a sun. A stylized sun, but unmistakable a sun. And I can not see it. Where I've had 4 tattoos in my life and have had three of them removed, this one stuck. If you won't get sick of that and/or can't see it unless you're in a mirror, then go for it. My advice is for tattoos in general though. I personally would find it hard to fall that much in love with a random, abstract design.

For anyone kind enough to offer some advice or opinions to me, if it is just me and this thing isn't really tribal, in your eyes, please do let me know. I toy around with the idea of just getting the thing darkened and extending the "rays" as opposed to tying it into some larger compass/sun theme.
I was more questioning how it would look once the inevitable vibrancy of tattoos like declines.

These are fucking excellent.
These are some of mine. Obviously not the highest quality shit.
I'm interested in getting black and orange half sleeves of Halloween shit like black bats and cats and pumpkins, just simple 2d stuff almost like icons. The issue is my arms from shoulder on down to mid forearm have pretty bad (to me, but I'm self conscious) stretch marks from before I lost weight.
Has anyone had experience as an artist or customer tattooing over scar tissue? Is it a reasonable idea?
Didn't know this thread existed. I have a few small tattoos but at some point, I want to travel to Germany to get one of these:
Peter Aurisch (Some images NSFW)
Such an incredible body of work. He only does one tattoo a day and I think his waitlist is months long.

Sorry, on my phone. I don't mean to kill anyone's browser. I'll put in quote tags.
Edit: Okay should be more reasonable now.

Come back and tell us what you think of the whole experience. And post pics. And tell us what your after care is so we can argue about the correct ointment.
OH FFS, same too, soo close!
I pretty much disagree with all of this. Also, that tat looks great, the style is called Trash Polka.

Cross posting from girlgaf because Grr.
Grr. So went to the tattoo shop and it turns out the tattoo artist we were having lost his house (eh?) and the piercing lady was also not in. Grrrrr. Was really looking forward to today :'( but the staff were lovely and she said she will give us discounts when we go back next week. But still. Grrr.

That does look really good, but I actually think I like the butterfly the most. Excellent work all around.
This looks so awesome. If I didn't like wearing short sleeve shirts to work, I'd totally do this.

You've got to be single right? ... I just couldn't imagine a girl waking up to face one of those! ... Love the Friday 13th one most!

I think if I met a chick in real life with horror tattoos I'd probably fall my damned fool heart into love almost immediately.You've got to be single right? ... I just couldn't imagine a girl waking up to face one of those! ... Love the Friday 13th one most!
I guess I'm an easy date.
My last ex had an anatomically correct heart on her chest over where her real one was and it was damn near the hottest thing ever.
We just started talking again so I've got my fingers crossed. Ah well, a man's reach should exceed his grasp else yadda yadda yadda...

Actually, I'm married. I also have a daughter and my wife is pregnant with our little boy
My wife has actually gifted me two of my tattoos, the next being Pinhead at the end of this month. What's funny is she can't take horror movies. She ends up looking away most of the time, but has no problem at all with my tattoos, lol.
Would a kind tattoo veteran be able to help me please?
I'll be getting my wrist one on Saturday. I have a client meeting all day on Monday (rotten timing). My plan is to simply wear a vest top and a loose fitting cardigan. I'm prob worrying unnecessarily, but that shouldn't be a problem, should it?

It's been a good 10 years since I've gotten one so I may be wrong but you'll probably still be covering it with some sort of ointment and gauze at that point, no?
Like I said, the opinion on the best way to heal may have changed by now.

Yeah you won't show it off after one day lol. I'd really advise you to read into how to take care of tattoos, what to expect after getting one and what products to use on it and how, as well as what NOT to do right after (swimming, sun - oh god sun destroys so many tattoos) and so on.
So yeah. Don't. Really.
Ok, I'll do it later thanks

Ahhhh, had to go back to my piercer today and get longer bars put in. Feels much better now, one of those things you don't notice until it stops being uncomfortable. Like a toothache, or a headache.
I got a septum piercing a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Kinda wanna get my ears done too at some point.
I also want some tattoos but I'm so indecisive on what I'd want. Every time I think about it I always think of some thing I'd really want and it's always different than the last time. Maybe I'll get around to it eventually.

Timeless Tattoo. Cap Szumski is one of the best artists in the country. He's the one who did the tattoo on my arm, a few posts earlier in this very thread.

I used to have a scar on my eyebrow from headbutting a sharp wall when i was younger. Old ladies thought it was a birthmark. After twenty years it faded and now i have two complete eyebrows. It'll fade.
In Twenty Years.
Oh good, only 12 more years to go then.
Didn't know this thread existed. I just emailed my tattoo artist (whom I was referred to by multiple people who sport his work) my idea for both of my forearms. It's going to be similar to the pic below, but with his own spin on everything obviously. He's going to draw a completely original work for me. I just requested that it be "sort of" biologically accurate. Just in placement of the mechanical portions that are visible. There will also be two metal plates on the underside of each wrist, each with the initials of my 2 kids either with raised stamped lettering or possibly etched or.....idk. Whatever he comes up with really as long as I like it.
Thanks!

Wow!
What does it mean?
right shoulderblade
l'appel du vide from inkface
Just this one. Not really interested in getting another.
All I've got at the moment piercing-wise is two in each earlobe (first ones at 18 months old, don't remember, got the second ones when I was maybe 21), and my belly button (got that done at 14). I'm 26 now. I want the upper part of my ear done but I need to find somewhere good to get it done as I hear there can be problems later on if not performed properly.
I want some tā moko (Māori ink) but not sure what to get yet and it's bit more involved to get a proper one compared to a regular tat. A lot of my friends have forearm tā moko, and I think they look quite cool on women. I wouldn't mind a circular koru or manaia somewhere though too.
These pics are wearable taonga but give some idea of what I want...
Koru:
Manaia:
I'd love to get them done via traditional methods but I've heard it hurts like hell. Might be worth it for the textured effect though.
