See if you can find out what Brand or Color it was for me. Call it a personal quest. I use pretty exclusively, Intenze, kuro sumi, Star bright or moms. When I get better, I will dabble in powdered stuff, but until then, proven stuff for me.
BTW that picture. wow.

here's some of my ink.... the chain link goes around onto my back now. theres a girl with her top off looking over her shoulder at the edge of the fence. I dont have any good pics of her right now, the ones from right after the ink went in look pretty scarey.

I'm insecure about my legs most definitely, but after I got all the ink on em, I wanted to show them off.
I'm not Insecure about my chest. It's big, and in pretty good shape for that matter. I've gotten the whole "wow, your nipples are normal." I'm going what does that mean?
*Shamless tooting my own horn*
I lucked out I spose. Enough about my boobs.

oh! I got a chest piece because they're AWESOME!

Kinda caught me off guard, then I laughed out loud to myself...

Hey Inkscars, I got this tattoo about a year ago to cover a #$%*ty dragon(don't let friends practice on you). The blue/white that was used in the clouds around the tree to help cover the dragon faded away real quick. I also got a rash from it. I had never gotten much other than black ink before this tat so I don't know if my skin just doesn't like those colors or what? Anyway, I was wondering if you had any advise on what colors to try to use around the tree and also not take too much away from the tree. The pic is crappy, but it's all I've got right now. The tree has some red, yellow, orange (fall colors) on the leaves. (The hands spell out GROW in sign language)

I no longer need to look around the shop for a ruler...

Operator · « **Reply #437 on:** August 03, 2011, 07:12:46 AM »

You could just use some greys to turn the old existing dragon (the greenish I assume) into smoke swirling around the tree. If your skin takes black well there should be no issues using greywash and it would likely hold better than the blue and white. I find white is really tricky to work with on a good day....

I don't have any issues with blues but the reds really give a bad reaction. This was my first tattoo and you can see all the red stuff got infected and didn't stick in my skin very well. The odd shape of the mute button is from where i had to have it "fixed". I just had them draw the line in there and left it alone.

cool piece. what's the meaning?

It's the mute button and pan knob from a Midas XL4 mixing console, that particular module was an XL401. In pro audio circles it was the pinnacle of analogue touring mixing desks. It's like the old bikes we all love, mostly replaced by fancier slicker pieces of machinery that function great but don't quite have the heart and soul of, or in this case the sound quality of the older pieces.

I got sarcoidosis and my body started to reject Red in tattoo's that were 20 yrs old.needless to say it really sucked.When the doctor took out my Lymph node he said it was full of red pigment and told me to stay away from anything red that was artificial in food or not to paint with any red unless I had a resperator and gloves.I havent got any new tat's because of this.

Work still in progress...mostly some details and the background left. About 14 hrs so far, probably another 14+ to go.

Finally got shots of some of my work.

These are the first three tattoos I ever got paid to do....not much mind you, but at this point in the game I am getting paid in experience. I have great friends!!!

The sleeve was a crazy long day, top half in the morning, lower half in the afternoon.

Come on guys I can take some creative criticism!!
