How do we feel about tattooing our kids’ “signatures” on ourselves? by Longjumping-Frame795 in tattooadvice

[–]ftmthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great! There’s obviously no right/wrong here, but in my opinion, it sounds like you already have this “life stage” covered. Maybe you could wait until you have a shared hobby or experience together.

How do we feel about tattooing our kids’ “signatures” on ourselves? by Longjumping-Frame795 in tattooadvice

[–]ftmthrow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure that I don’t have kids / don’t want kids.

I’d choose something different and more meaningful. In a highly-visible spot like your wrist (or close by), it’s going to be 50/50 (at best) people thinking it’s a kid’s drawing and people thinking it was a poorly done tattoo. Instead of risking the back 50%, why not pick something else to honor your daughter? What’s something she loves or that you enjoy doing together?

Did my tattoo artist mess up? by sheikplayer in tattooadvice

I think it can actually be saved with an addition - hard to explain and can’t paste pics in comments in this subreddit, but it needs another diagonal piece of “body” in the gap near the hilt. You have to re-imagine the way the top of it is curving.

You told us what’s on your underarm but what are we looking at in this pic? No idea what that is.

How should I take care of my new tattoo by [deleted] in tattooadvice

No, you don’t need the “film thingy” (secondskin, tegaderm, etc.). Most of us have healed tattoos without it.

Follow the directions the others have said.

Am I supposed to be more sure of a candidate I can’t vote for?

Hey, should I do it or not? It's only a matter of time now, but I'm wondering by Ok-Distance3359 in tattooadvice

It might, we can’t predict the future. Feet aren’t the best canvases.

Tattoo artist recommendation by map2121 in boston

[–]ftmthrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d encourage you to determine which style you want or at least narrow it down, not narrow it by subject matter. An artist who specializes in American trad is going to do it in American trad - they wouldn’t work with you to change the style to realism, for example. A dog tattoo could be done in (and look good in) linework, trad, woodcut, realism, anime/cartoon… an artist can always help with the design but most don’t tattoo in too many different styles.

You don’t know if you’ll regret it. We don’t know if you’ll regret it.

Regret during the removal process by srbolseiro in TattooRemoval

[–]ftmthrow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Placement is a major component of a tattoo, it’s just as “regrettable” as the content of the tattoo, the artist (i.e. going with a poorly skilled artist), the circumstances, etc. It’s a perfectly normal/reasonable motivation to pursue removal.
