Exactly as Infamous put it. :D

Thats also great news Rscotti :D Good luck to it.

Maybe we shouldnt use the intro for this kind of chatting :oops:

The woman with her back at a mirror, thats an awesome piece :D

If you want to know the future, look back to the very beginning. :ugeek:

Just wanted to show you people, my very first tattoo, done on practise skin. Just bring all you got on it.
When first I got contacted by my mentor way back when. I imagined that, well we should just talk about the tattoo world, what was what and so on, the first day I…[Read more]

In my humble opinion, Yes, I think you can have a home studio. Nothing wrong with that. As long as you keep it a “studio”, and only use it for tattoos.
One of the real benefits is that your are very close to your family. And if you have to work long late hours on a piece, you wouldn’t feel like you were at work all the time.
But that’s just in my…[Read more]

Looking forwards on seeing your next piece. :)

For the washing of the ink, try add a little witch hazel. Works wonders on the redness and swellinesnes. (You know what I mean)

Actually quite good. :D Just been on the phone with the bank, who granted the major loan for house renovation. Which means, I am now getting a shop at home :D

Witch Hazel, is a good investment.

E-bay…. Well, stay of sites like that ;)
Hmm if I know any? Well every supplier in my country is legit, but I wouldnt recommend them for people out of my country. Guess, this is were other members forum will come in and inlighten you.

And why I wouldnt recommen my ones? I dont think you should spend 130%…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum. :)

I would say your questions have been answered.

A little thing on a tattoo kit, yes you can get a good kit, but in time you really should replace everything with better stuff. And the old saying; you get what you pay for! Really goes here.

Well okey, you can get your hands on a knock of machine, you think is the real deal. ;)

Holy Jebediah :o thats a loooooong drive. The distance in my country from top to bottum is only 360 km. Thats the absolute longest you can drive in my country…

Yeah, I have been to a few shops, with a more… characteristic feel to it. You’ve been greeted by a big hairy dog. And the guy behind the counter, when he talks to you, sounds like hes too lazy to even take a dump.

When I had my first tattoo, it was at a studio, were the tattooist, looked at me, like I was some low class trailer trash scum. He…[Read more]

A week old???? My god, it looks like its 2 years old :o
Were did you buy that ink?
Honestly, I think you’ve been hagged.

A tattoo just a week old, or even 6 weeks old, shouldnt faded like this.

Only reason I can think of is;
Fake ink or your friend there, took way to many swims in chlorine swimming pools. And I mean, he placed himself in a…[Read more]

Wanna know the worst part of it?
5 years ago, she was the only tattooist in my home city. (unless you count Blowout Kurt in it) She has been tattooing for 20 years. She is a member of the Danish Tattoo Lauge (which is a sort of union for the Danish tattooist) And this Lauge claims, that; if a tattooist, isn’t part of the “union”, then the free…[Read more]

How long since you made it?

Hmm what I use? Thin my own washes, out of Kuro Sumi, with witch hazel. But never more then 50% then the original.

Fair enough.
The I have to say, you did a decent job on it, since lettering without stencils are very tricky :)

Okey…. Ball busting time ;)

First up, cant see you have balls to bust… Kidding ;)

These are actually not that bad, for first timers. I’ve seen people do a lot worse then you, believe me. And I’m not just trying to be nice. If it were that bad, I would tell you, since, that’s how you will learn.

The smiley, yes a little shaky, but have to…[Read more]

Like the Kermit :D

And good portrait.
But the eyes are a bit, hmm left wanting something, its like the eyes on the lower part is faded into the skin.
But a thumbs up for the lips, the first mistake people do, when doing a portrait, is line the lips, giving them a cartoony look.

But I cant fully judge, if I havent seen the original picture you…[Read more]
