Tattoos

[nicotine]

i can't imagine why...

i know why, obviously. i was answering a question.

[panicnation]

cool idea...unfortunately it'd probably get tired really quickly.

[Harry Sledge]

^ I'm sure I've heard of that idea before somewhere. :confused:

[NatseOklim]

I've seen it a bunch of times but I still think it's cool. I want a tattoo but I keep finding other things to spend the money on.

[panicnation]

^haha same boat. I read this thread in the hope that i'll find a design inspirational enough to make me want to spend my money on it.

this is not mine, i stole it from b9, but fucking come on, this is one of the best tattoos i have ever seen.

I know what I want, just haven't got it yet. I want the bones of the forearm done in a victorian etching style.

miss d'jo of lark tattoo in westbury, N.Y.

she's fucking crazy and was a guest artist at miami ink.

are there any websites with decent and organized galleries? I dont want to see a single chinese character or dog portrait any more.

looking for black and white, simple stuff. like mouko's one below, for example.

[jake431]

[seenmy]

thanks for the rep, Im happy with these allready plannng my next bits now, mainly script stuff i think, i like the idea of having lots of sentimental dates and people on me over time as things happen in life

www.bmezine.com

[mike lowrey]

well that is certainly a large gallery, but really hard to find anything plus the search doesn't seem very effective as theres no keywords etc

what I'm mainly looking for is smaller galleries with a more carefully picked selection. not sure if that even exists, though.

[mouko]

try searching through flickr.com

routinely posts amazing works

[NatseOklim]

Be careful what you look at on bmezine too, once seen, a penis that has been split down the middle and then sewn back together cannot be unseen.

[corter]

i think bmezine single handedly killed all sensitivity i have to internet imagery. still, it's a good site for browsing

if your forearm is covered in tattoos you have a half-sleeve.

if your calf is covered with tattoos.... do you half a "half-pant leg"?

[evisu 2000]

that gybe one has a dope homemade look to it.

they didnt hurt at all. i have a high tolerance for pain compared to most people. after they began scabbing, they were itchy as fuck (especially the tree). if you're afraid of the pain, pop a non-aspirin/blood thinning pain killer. my friend took 16mg of tramadol (not bound with tylenol) when she got her feet done and she was fine.

[akuma no uta]

scabbin? you need to step your tattoo care game up. its all about aquaphor, leave a thin layer on at all time, wash every 1 to 2 hours, and wrap in saran wrap over night (with a layer of aquaphor on) cleaning generously in the morning. no scabbing, no color loss. heals within 2 to 3 days.

:facepalm:

not a good idea to wash every 1-2 hours. excessive cleaning is BAD for the tattoo.

if you completely heal in 2-3 days, you didn't get a tattoo. a tattoo is an open wound, and peeling/scabbing is normal.
