This isnt for me to start off…
Trying to show some friends what could go wrong.
The person giving the tattoos has not been apprenticed, has not gone to any sort of tattoo art school, and is ordering a tattoo kit from the internet.

please post only if you’re being serious.
thanks in advance.

I’ve heard that the tattoo will be more like a scar than a tattoo and is there any way to fix it if it does become scared?

I want to get "robur et veneratio" tattooed on me and i like the idea of it going down the middle of my back and i was just wondering if it would feel more painful along my spine. I have alot of friends with tattoos and they said that it didn’t really hurt getting there tattoo until the needle ran over a part of there body such as their shin or the outside of their forearm where there is no muscle or fat between the skin and the bone. Just wondering. Thanks.

I am planning to get a full sleeve tattoo on my right arm soon. It will be a mix of tribal design with some text down my lower arm. As this will be my first tattoo, and will be a substantial size I really want to get it right. What should I do next? How much should I expect to pay? How many sittings will it take? My mates reckon I stick with black coloring however I really want to get full colors, will the color fade?

How should I cover my tattoo when I sleep?

I tend to scratch when I’m deeply asleep and won’t notice it and when I notice it I already scratched my tattoo and I’ve done this to my previous tattoo and it actually tore my tattoo and it was a bit noticable and this is my third tattoo and I don’t want it to tear. How should I cover my tattoo when i go to bed? With a paper towel around my shoulder? I know that tattoos do need air for the healing process. What should I do?
my tattoo is located on the shoulder.
I think I probably have to clip my nails on the left hand because then I won’t scratch. I can’t put a sock on b/c it’s summer and I’ll be sweating too much.
I do sleep with a large t-shirt but then it rises when I sleep. Even if I wear a long sleeve shirt I can still scratch but it won’t be directly to the skin.

This person isn’t dead or anything. It’s just someone who is very special to me, and I will be moving away soon and I don’t know when I will see them again. I want to get some kind of tattoo to remind me of them. Nothing to big. And no names or anything. Someone suggested I get a tattoo of their zodiac symbol. Can I hear some other ideas?

What do they make for a portrait? Or for a shoulder tattoo?
Are they the "cream of the crop" of tattooist, or just happen to have gotten lucky with a tv show?

How to put on a temporary rhinestone tattoo?

I bought a rhinestone jewelry tattoo at Claire’s but it didn’t come with any instructions. I really don’t think you put it on the same as the other temporary tattoos, but I really dont know, especially because it has rhinestones and a shape made out in glitter. Does anyone know how to put this type of tattoo on? It is NOT the peel sticker type.

What do tattoo artists use to stencil on tattoos?

I want to get a tattoo on the side of my foot, but my feet sweat really bad when I’m nervous. I’ve tried to draw it in pen to see if i like it, but i can only ever do it when my feet are really dry. Would the tattoo artist have a hard time stenciling the tattoo on me?

I really want to get a tattoo to represent recently becoming a mother. I want something totally unique, but that will still reflect my new role as mama. I’m not into stuff like rainbows, hearts and I’d rather it not have any words too. I have a few ideas already but I want to see what ideas anyone else might have. I have several tattoos already so I’m not one to shy away from larger pieces – any suggestions?

I once saw a tattoo where two girls each had half a heart tattooed on their fingers, & when they held hands, it made a whole heart.

What’s that called?

I have a tattoo machine that heats up and starts to bog down after 30 to 45 minutes of continuous use. I feel that the issue is with the tattoo machine’s coils. What makes a tattoo coil better than another? The amount of coils, the strength of the capacitor inside it?

My child will get a dragon tattoo, it is the tradition in my family. However I am wondering what it will look like when he gets bigger. Will it become big dragon, or be all spread out?

This is posted in Babby Names because his name is Merrick Powersword.
I was 17 and fully grown when I got mine, but I wish I had been younger.

I have an idea of a tattoo I want and it will be one that will be added to over time, is this a reasonable idea? I don’t want it to look like multiple tattoos, rather to always look like one tattoo.
The one I have in mind is of a rose vine traveling up and around my leg and around my body till it ends over my heart. Only the last rose will be in full bloom. When you say touch up what do you mean?

I am looking to get a tattoo shortly. I made the image myself but it is a VERY symmetrical design. It is important to me that when I get the tattoo done that CIRCLES look like CIRCLES… not ovals, etc.
Is this difficult for tattoo artists to accomplish?
Thanks in advance!

I plan on keeping my workouts after I get a tattoo (my first) and I know my arms will get bigger but not that much, maybe like a few inches over a really long period of time. Will the tattoo mess up like this or what?
