So, I am going to attend the MusInk festival later this month…my dream would be to get tattooed by Hannah Aitchison, but since it’s highly improbable, I have other artists in mind. How do I go about getting a tattoo done there? It’s not so easy to make appointments, so is it only by appointments or can you get tattooed on the spot? I’ve never been to a tattoo convention so I’m not sure how it works…

They can be ones you’ve seen in pictures or in person. What tattoos have you seen that are just immature/tasteless? Boyfriend tattoos? Certain images/graphics? Just something that’s childish, etc?

Post pictures if you have any.

Can I use permanent tattoo ink with a airbrush or temporary tattoo pen? Will permanent ink last longer than the temporary ink?

I know that unless I use proper machine, it won’t be permanent.

Any good online sites for tattoo designs with stenciles that offer a month fee instead of a per design fee?. Thanks
I’m starting to do tattoos so I’m building the essentials to begin. Any website names would be appreciated. I have found a few, but I know many in the business have a particular site(s) they like.

I’m planning on getting an armband tattoo on my left bicep. I was wondering if anyone has any information regarding changes/distortions that could affect his tattoo if the size of my arm increases. Let’s say a 50% increase in size over the course of five years after I get the tattoo.

I got a tattoo on my left shoulder blade 2 years ago of a Playboy Bunny with the ear flopped over and my name under it. It’s really cute but I can still feel the tattoo. There’s no color or anything so the enitre tattoo is basically an outline and I can still feel it, kind of like braille. I know it’s normal to be able to feel the outline of a tattoo right after you get it done because I have two (the other one was also done about two years ago and it’s on the small of my back. Can’t feel that one). But I’m starting to wonder if this one should be removed.
Speaking of irritating the skin, when I get out of the shower or out of a swimming pool it itches. When I scratch it, it burns (I know I shouldn’t scratch it but I can’t help it). How’s that?

I am planning on getting a tattoo, but the area of my body on which I plan to get it is heavily scarred in places due to a mis-spent youth. I was just wondering: a) is it possible to tattoo over scar tissue? & b) does the scarring adversely affect the look of the tattoo in any way?

It is located in NJ.

Ok it would help alot if you’ve seen the Bad Girls Club on Oxygen. There is a girl named Tiffany and she has a tattoo on the front of her right shoulder off to the side of the chest. I wanted to get a tattoo there as well so its not directly on the chest and I can cover it up easily.

What would be a good idea?

I’ve always wondered what thoughts went though your mind when a teen walks in for a tattoo.

What about when the tattoo has meaning?
No meaning?

If you’re not a tattoo artists, how would you feel if you were, and this happened?
Psalm, I agree with you completely. Sorry about your friend. I know people that have stupid, meaningless tattoos, and I always wonder what the tatooer really thinks of it.

I am going to get a small/medium sized tattoo on my lower back. I’m new to tattoos so I don’t really know how much a good tattoo should cost. So how much?

I know that different places will charge different amounts and details, color, size also play a part, but I’m asking overall. I don’t want to be shocked by a price or wondering if my tattoo artist isn’t as pro as I thought because it’s too cheap.

Thanks for any help.

I have a tattoo on my left shoulder blade that I want gone. How much does it usually cost to get a tattoo removed? Is the proceedure painful? I’ve heard the removal with leave a horrible scar, is this true? And if so, is the scar the shape of the tattoo?
