Cheri

Like a pic of their tattoo, that I want myself, can they give me that tattoo?

I found the perfect tattoo i love as a pic on Google but its a pic of a girl with the tattoo.....Ita clear like you can see it pretty well.... If i show the tattoo artist this on my phone,will they beable to make the same one for me?

Answer
Some artists will not do a straight copy. If you want a particular style; old school/traditional, new school, photo realism, bio, etc it is very important to find a local artist that does that style well. You want someone that is experienced with what you want. If you ask someone to go out of their comfort zone you may not get good results. I cannot stress this enough.
I do suggest finding the pic online and printing it out in a decent size if able. They will need time to draw out a transferable design. Again many artists will not do a copy out of respect to another artist or collector especially if it looks like a custom piece. They may want to make changes. All you can do is ask.

What do you think of girls with a PinUp tattoos?

defective_

I want to get a pinup on my side of the queen of hearts. I'm going through a tough time, right now, and she is one strong and tough lady.

I was just wondering what you guys thought of Pinup tattoos?

Answer
Sydest, Babe, go for it.

Anytime you find ink that marks a moment in your life and has that meaning to you...for whatever reason...do it. Besides the original meaning to you...it is always a reminder on what you were going through during a certain time and how you handled it....survived it...and learned from it. So do it and have the artist you find put more of your personality in it. That way it is way original.

Pinups are a throw back, very retro, and so cool if done by the right artist who is good at pinups. Search hard for that one artist that has a knack for pinups...I have seen some great ones and not so great ones. There are a lot of great artists out there...though some have specialities they like....blackwork, japanese influenced, fantasy, pinups....etc.

Would like to see a pic when its done...and have fun with it.

And when people who are lucky enough to see it ask what it means...tell em to go jump off a cliff. Cause it wont mean anything to them and it dont have to. They should appreciate the art for the art cause it aint on them.

Also pinup girls...on women are awesome...To be honest all the pinup girls I have seen inked...have been on women. I have never seen a pinup girl inked on a man...sure it happens...but it definately falls in that "suicide girls" (a social group), girl power sort of thing. Beyond cool!

Things will get better, stay strong, and keep on going!

Best of Luck!

What should i practice drawing to become a tattoo artist?

Jeremy

So i would like to become a tattoo artist, but I've never really shown my drawings to someone so i haven't had much feedback yet. Could one of you guy give me a suggestion for a tattoo design so i can draw it out, send you a pic of it and that you guys give me feedback. thanks.

Answer
Oh I would love it if you got give mine a try! I'm getting it done in January but don't have the design for it yet.

It's inspired by a part of my favorite book, "The Book Thief", in which they describe a picture Max draws on the wall. Basically it's a long cloud described as "a tightly knotted rope" that leads to a "dripping yellow sun", and a girl walking on the rope towards the sun, her arms out as though she's balancing herself while walking on a tightrope.

Hope that isn't too confusing, it's kind of poetical and open to interpretation so I'd love to see what you can come up with! :)

Also, if you could google "the book thief" and search for the images so you can see what style of illustrations they have on the book. They're all kind of child-like, very simple drawings, and I'd really like something in that syle, making it seem like it's one od the illustrations in the book. Oh, and the only thing in color is the yellow sun.

Thank you so much if you decide to do it! :)

Where is the best place in Philadelphia, PA to get a tattoo?

Voodoo Chi

I'm looking for a place to get my first tattoo... I'm thinking wings on my mid-upper back, probably w/ color. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help! I checked out the website and their work is really impressive. I don't know if I'll be able to get out there for this time (my friend wants to get our first tattoos together, and she's wants hers asap), but I'll definitely check them out for the next one I get.

-Jess

Answer
Take a trip to Lancaster! Seriously! I got my ink at Transcending Flesh by Steve Saez. The work that comes out of that shop is phenominal! Check out thier website - www.transcendingflesh.com. You'll have to call in advance to make an appointment....the guys at the shop usually have a waiting list. (and I always say, if people are willing to wait, there's a reason! )


**just noticed, when I pulled up their website, there's a pic of a girl getting colorful wings on her upper back! Maybe that's a sign!

what would be a good tattoo mural to symbolize motherhood?

tattoos for girls pic image

amberleeca

I want to get a mural tattooed on my back that will represent the change from childhood to motherhood. I know that i want it to be gray scaled and that I don't want the usual faeries, butterfly's, frogs or flowers but im not very creative and the artist needs a general idea that i want to display any ideas?

Answer
Take images from your childhood, a picture of you on a swing or slide, in diapers, being held, sleeping, different ages, toys and books, and the things that you were interested in at different stages, objects to represent time periods and ages, silhouettes, etc. Look in scrapebooks, and bring any and all pictures, and written ideas to your artist and see what him/her comes up with.
Here's some vague idea images:

Write down things that you want in the mural, ideas etc.
Find a really good artist to work with you.

What's the best way to have a tattoo removed on a wrist?

whenmarias

I have a shitty tattoo that I got when I was around 15. I know so dumb I shouldn't have done it, I regret it so bad. Well, I wanted to know what method is the best? The length is a bit smaller than a pinky finger, its black and I wanted to know what's better, creams or laser and do they leave marks? Have you had it done also and does it fully remove it?
I heard Nuviderm is good. Is that true?

Answer
I have 3 small letters on my foot, just the lines, I am on my second treatment of Nuviderm. So far there is no change, and I am starting to believe it does not work. The first treatment I used a diluted application, because you control the strengh of it. The skin pealed off, and there was no change, but no scar either. The second time I did use a stronger solution, 40%, and this time I am afraid I might have a little scaring, but I have to wait for it to completely peel off to make sure. Nuviderm is a chemical peel. It burns your skin, and working thru burning and healing is supposed to bring the tattoo closer out so it will fade. Like I said, my tattoo is very thin and tiny, and I have not seen much change. I am happy that my skin healed good the first time. It will be a little painful right after you apply it. Like a sting, because it penetrates your skin and it burns it. The burning sensation might last even a few days, but after that you won't feel anything. I would be just like the skin healing from a deep scratch. Every tattoo is diferent, as well as everyone skin is diferent too. It might take a while and maybe a few applications, but I am hopeful it will work.
Another thing I used in another tattoo was appricot scrub, and after that applied Palmers Eventone Fade Cream, it is from the same maker of Cocoa Butter, it did fade my tattoo, but not fully erased it. Some lines are almost even gone. I really got tired of using it, that is why I did not continue using it. Because you would have to be doing this for at least a year. but if you are confident it might work for you.
Using the scrub and the cream, is the same as using tat-b-gone. Because I bought it a long time ago. The only diference is that you save thousands of dollars.
And honestly Nuvidern is the cheapest thing out there. It costed me 40 bucks, compared to wrecking balm or tat-b-gone which are around $250. I would say try it, because you don't have much to lose.

I can send you a pic of how it looks like now if you want to email me.

I am not associated with Nuviderm at all, I am a real person going thru the same we all tattoo regreters go thru. I have been also looking at the blog of this girl, so take a look at it.
