The all things tattoo megathread

[nick2]

Both of them however were left with scars. One of them doesn't really mind & is planning a new tattoo over the scar

 

I didn't think you could tattoo over a scar ?

 

(rather you can, but most tattooists won't do it)

You believe before and after photos provided by the makers of the cream?

 

I don't necessarily believe or dis-believe their information. I'm just pointing out that the people slating the product weren't providing sufficient information to judge their claims whilst at the same time tearing down anyone defending the cream.

 

The photo I posted was a week or so after the e-raze. It then went on to scar. She's having another tattoo over it to cover the scar.

 

Now that provides sufficient context to the image, however, looking that bad after one week isn't necessarily bad. I've seen grazed knees look that bad that now look fine (my own, fell off my bike), but the context that it's gone onto scar later (how much later? Do you have a picture?) helps back your case against it.

 

Again, I'm not arguing in either direction, I'm totally uninterested either way. I just don't like to see people stating a case against/for something so strongly without providing adequate evidence to back their view point online where there isn't that ability to get a sense of how valid an argument is and no-one knows who anyone really is.

Bloody hell, no tattoo is so bad that you would think that looks better.

 

Well, if that's just a temporary step towards the perfect healing that the e-raze site claims rather than the final product, I'd have said fine.

 

But Tina states that it went on to scar afterwards. Which is less fine (depending on how scarred).

I would like to see an "after" photo, but I can't see that looking good even if it healed perfectly, at least she can grow her hair to hide it.

There is a place just off Ecc Rd on the corner of Neill Rd I think. Don't go ! They made a right mess of mine. Hence, I need to get the damn thing off me !

 

Feline?! I can't believe they messed you up! I've had mine for a year and it still looks great!

i want to get a portrait tattoo. can anyone recommend a local tattooist capable of producing a good likeness from a photo ? can't afford to go to miami to see cat from miami ink lol

[foxycoxy]

I would strongly suggest you go and see Nigel Kurt in Barnsley. If you do a search on google you will find his site. He is quite near the centre of Barnsley. He does excellent portait work (I would go as far as saying one of the best in the UK). He's a nice enough bloke too (from what I've heard). I've seen his work first hand and he has featured in tattoo mags before.

 

Hope this helps

get a tattoo mag )skin deep/total tattoo etc) and see if theres anyones work that you like, the travel to them. portrait work is a real specialist area, make sure you see a lot of the artists previous work; you dont want it to end up boss eyed or something

Nigel Kurt in Barnsley. He specialises in portraits & has won numerous awards for them. I think the realistic stuff is pretty much all he does.

There's usually a bit of a wait but it's worth it.

The only other one I'd recommend is drren Stares but he's in Portsmouth.

I don't normally bother posting about things like this but I recently went and had a freehand tattoo started on my arm by Sosk at Lab 13 in pitsmoor.. I've had six tattoos so far and he was by far the best person I've been to see, the tattoo is beautiful, original and the service was great, I've had less scarring than on any of my others and the shading/quality is incredible considering the speed at which it was done... Three of my friends who've seen it are now going there over the next week... Big big big thumbs up from me..
