what about doing a lady bug with green and white spots on its shell instead of black ones... or a lady bug with a little Italian flag .... hopefully this helps!!

I have the same problem with the tattoo i got in October, i think what it is is when the tattoo was getting done, the artist went a little to deep and there's a little bit of scar tissue (i don't have ...

ABSOLUTELY! go back and have them look at it!!! its normal for some color to come out but not that much.... it looks like you've lost almost all of your letters there... Sad

it depends on where you are and what field you're looking to work in... tattoos are getting to be more accepted, but there are still some stereotypes. anyone in the justice system has a hard time if t ...

you're going to have to go in once it's healed(probably 2 or 3 weeks) but it is possible, and probably pretty easy to do, and depending on the shop, you could probably go in next week and book the app ...

i agree with blamski... significance for YOU is what is important.... but i am curious.... why? if you don't mind me asking.....

I have a similar problem with my side piece.... a rose that was supposed to be just yellow, is red and yellow... so it cant even be covered... and everyone says it looks good, but to me its still wron ...

I'm sorry for your loss.... i have a memorial tattoo for my grandmother, and will be getting another for my cousin, so i have a pretty good idea what this means for you. what you should do is sit dow ...

it's pretty unlikely that the pain you're experiencing is related to your tattoo, especially because you say it's healing well and you went to a reputable shop... tattoos don't go deep enough into the ...

been there, done that... piercings too.... my parents eventually got over it.. they realized this is who i am, and im the same person with or without the ink and metal... i think most parents would be ...

for "honorary" tattoos, symbols don't usually cut it as far as meaning.... ( i have one, and am currently working on the design for my other) what i'd suggest, is sit down and really think of somethin ...

I completely agree with everyone above! my other thing is, since the guy showed next to no concern for your health there's an issue, besides the obvious being a jerk. In this kind of industry, care fo ...

here's the only advice i have.... make sure you put cream on every time you clean it, make sure you dry it off really well after you clean it before you put the cream on, other than that, some fading ...

Laser tattoo removal? I think the way it works is that the laser causes a breakdown of the pigments of the ink... once the pigments have been broken down, it doesn't show the colour any more... but th ...

the piercings that can be seen are my lip(ring in the middle) my eyebrow(horizontal) and a stud in my nose. For me, i find at work i seem to get "picked on" so to speak about my piercings because i h ...

Hey,
I would understand where your boss is coming from, if your tattoos were inappropriate for children. But based on what you said, they aren't. Since these tattoos don't seem to be scaring the ki ...

Hey John,
I've used Lubriderm for both my tattoos and had no problems. i was told to use the original moisture(blue) kind, and that some shouldn't be used. I'm pretty sure the main reason for not usi ...

ok if its not very large, it should only take one sitting... most artists will give you a quote on how long it should take, and unless they say it's going to take two sittings, or you can't handle the ...

I've got both ear lobes, right nostril, lower lip in the middle, horizontal eyebrow(left), and both nipples. I got both nipples done at the same time... first one wasn't that bad, the second one didn' ...

I'm going through that stage right now, it feels like a sunburn basically... but not a really bad one. Since your tattoo'll be in a place that isn't doing a whole lot of crazy movement (twisting, bend ...

i came home from my first year in university with a tattoo and two new piercings, mom was pretty disappointed... I think she thinks i'm supposed to be the "good" kid... not sure how this changes that ...

I've got two, and by far, the one on my side was the worst.. specifically the floating rib at the bottom.... as one of the guys at the shop put it, its like going from a tattoo needle to a scalpel.... ...

you're best bet for something large, sit down and really think about yourself.... what you like, what's important to you... things like that, then try to think of a way to merge all those things that ...

whoever told you that, is pretty much right... atleast from my experience... its like having a pushpin dragged across your skin... the painful part is that some places it feels like its being pushed ...

I just got back from getting a tattoo.. well half the tattoo... the colour isn't all in yet. Pain tolerance is really a personal thing, especially when it comes to tattoos. I can handle feeling like ...

That's a beautiful symbol!! as long as it means what you think it means... thats the problem with other languages! as for cost... because you're having it done so small, it shouldn't be super expensiv ...
