Ribs hurt bad.. I got a tribal on my right side and i thought i was going to die. But pain fades and the chicks dig it Very Happy

hope it goes well for ya billie

Hey mommabird, sorry it took so long to write back. No, i havent gone back in yet. But i plan on going back soon to get it done. I also have the other side to finish yet too. When i get it done i will ...

Oh man.. I will tell you that it hurt like a B****. But anyways like emmatat said it was worth it. and i plan on going back to get my other side done with the same tribal.

What the **** i have never heard of useing green soap to dilute ink. And i have never heard of priming someone's body by tattooing them with just plain water- not to mention in a plastic cup that you ...

If you constantly keep tattooing over an area that is already tattooed then you will cause that area to scar and raise up.

I would have to agree. I got my first tattoo when i was 16. I got a bear paw, it was just a design that i came across at the tattoo parlor and thought i would like to have. Now i look bad and wonder w ...

Hey just wanted to tell you guys/ and gals that the ribs do hurt. I finally got the outline of my tribal that i wanted on my right side last night and it hurt bad!!! However, i have to go back and get ...

I was wondering if there were any conventions that would take place in Nebraska somewhere? If anybody knows please let me know. Thankz

There are so many different ideas that you might have and so that makes it hard for you to choose. But my advice is get something that you like, because this is going to be on your body for the rest o ...

Yea im thinking about getting the same tribal done on both sides so that it matches. Maybe get the outline on both sides in the first sitting then go back later and get them filled in...

Tattooing doesn't hurt too bad.. getting tattooed ain't nothing compared to having your fingernail ripped off. To me the sound of the tattoo machine is what scared me when i went to get my first tatto ...

What's better to use.... the autoclave to sterilize or just use prepackaged tubes and needles everytime??? Everybody's opinions would help!

i personally like it when two sleeves equal out... but once again its up to you...

I think a white tiger would be pretty cool but i don't know how good it would turn out on your skin.... You may want to ask a professional tattoo artist what he would think..

NO as in don't use A&D or no as in you can't use aloe vera??

So let me see if i get this. You put A&D on right after you get your tat then after that you don't apply any more.....Correct? So then you just use lotion after that right? not any aloe vera or an ...

Im also not a tattoo artist but i wish i was.

Well im not sure if you can or not, ive always wondering that. But i think that A&D would be better for your tat.

After your initial two weeks of caring for your tat until it scabbs..... Your supposed to apply lotion a few times a day to be reassured that your tat will retain it's color for as long as possible bu ...

Exactly what JBONE said... then put on some A&D ointment or other good skin care ointment a couple of times a day and then after two weeks when its done scabbing use an ultra-healing lotion for a ...

I have heard that neosporin isn't exactly the best route to go because of its fading effect on the tattoo. Personally i would choose A&D ointment. This is what i have used to care for my tats and ...

This is just a random question but i was wandering what is the best kind of ink? I have heard that the Kuro Sumi ink is a really good brand.

First of all im sorry about your loss. Secondly, my suggestion is just like what others have told you.... Incorporate the things that she liked the most and the things that made her unique. But be car ...

I have my last name on my chest. And my last name is SCOTT, so the only part that really hurt was when my tattoo artist went over the O, which is located right smack dab on my chest bone. Sad

If it is something that you really like then by all means.

I think that the ankle would hurt more but i guess it depends on where your getting it on your back. I am planning to get one on each side of my ribs and oh boy i can't wait for that pain!

You could get a tat of something you like.... Example- like a hobby or favorite sports team. Or just about whatever would float your boat, so to speak!

That is what i have heard. I do have one on my chest and that one was tolerable.
