If I trusted the artist, I'd put down a 10% deposit on the tattoo, then he'd do the design. I'd then come in for an initial review, and if I liked the design and had minimal changes, I'd make the appointment and deduct the 10% from the final payment. This never happened to me, but if I didn't like the design the artist would retain the 10% for their drawing time.

SLTL, that's a splendid tat. Didn't even hurt, did it? It sounds like you were fortunate to find a very clean and professional tatooist.
Kaith, those prices sound reasonable for that on your upper arm, in fact, $150 seems a bit cheap, given the detail necessary to make that look good. Nice art though.
SS - where is it? Don't be bashful now......

It's very, very, very, very low ... very low ... on my abdomen.
Thanks Flatlander. I like it alot. I stopped by the artists studio yesterday for him to have a look now that it's all healed. He thinks there's still too much pink showing through the white so I'm going to have those areas brightened up next month. The pain wasn't bad at all. Piece of cake. :supcool:Flatlander said:
Yes, I was very lucky to find this tattoo artist. I'm in a small area too and he's only 3 miles away. Lucky me!
Shesulsa - The lower abdomen huh? hee hee
Can you tell us what it's a tattoo of?
It is a long-stemmed, thorny red rose.Sil Lum TigerLady said:
That would definitely look cool, 7 SM! :supcool: :ultracool As SLTL said, please let us know if you decide to get it; of course, if you do, we'll have to see it...7starmantis said:
I've been debating whether or not to get the Kenpo "Universal Pattern" tattooed or not...(and if so, where, etc.) I've attached a picture of it. I knew a woman at my old school who had it tattooed on the inside of her right ankle & it looked even sharper than this picture...
What do y'all think?
Salute,
Gin-Gin :asian:
I think it'd be great Gin-Gin. Have you thought about where you would have it tattooed? I think it would look good either on the small of the back, or the back of the neck.Gin-Gin said:
Cool,CC! :ultracool May I ask where you bought your necklaces? That would probably hurt/cost less than a tattoo...Ceicei said:
Yeah, I was thinking about either the inside of my ankle, my shoulder blade, or the small of my back. Haven't called around to get prices yet--still thinking about it. I've never had a tattoo before, & it's the first thing I've thought of, like 7SM said, "that I would want to look at 20 yrs from now," so I'm still in the "prelim" stage of the idea...(just getting feedback now) :uhyeah: Will keep everyone posted...Sil Lum TigerLady said:

I had my tattoo put around my right ankle. It's a dream catcher with the Ironman logo inside the web. The dream catcher is attached by a braided leather band with turquoise and bone. The feathers extend down onto the ankle bone. It's a very memorable tattoo....
SL- I would say small of the back or shoulder blade. I think it would be cool in one of those places.....

Im trying to find a tattoo parlour that has a bar right next door, as I be thinking i need to be drinking so I can get my tattoo finished. Ive been procrastinating far too long in getting it finished.
NOTHING LIKE A BIT OF PAIN TO MAKE YOU FEEL ALIVE!!!!!

I've heard alot of people talkingabout drinking before getting ink, but most places around me will not service you if they can tell you have been drinking. Is that not at all tatoo parlors?

I thought so too. I know the guy I went to won't. I think it used to be more common to get loaded (or at least get a good buzz on) first but times have changed. Too many permanant poor decisions made under the influence! lol!7starmantis said:
Seriously, Raisin - try taking advil instead. :ultracool
triwahine - your tattoo sounds very cool. can we see a pic?
Yeah, not to mention thinner blood and more bleeding. Just not a good idea all around. I'm really getting close to talking myself into getting mine done. I'm now thinking about on my back at the base of my neck.

What I meant to say was I would need a bar next door to have a good stiff drink afterwards.:uhyeah: After being on the table for after an hour can be quite painful and having a bar next door could be quite medcinal for a quick shot of something. LOL I have never had my tattoo's done under the influence of anything, and you are right 99% of the tattoo parlours will not service you if you are.
