Anyone have Tattoos?

[infamousalien]

On a side note, has anyone had a tattoo surgically REMOVED?

I have both sides of my neck and both of my hands tattooed and I'm seriously considering going through laser removal (have been researching it heavily), I'm curious if anyone has actual experience or has known anyone and what their experience was like.

I've known a few people who have had some laser removal. They just got their tattoos lightened up enough to cover up better though (personally I just go bigger and blackerer for my cover ups). They said it's very painful and expensive because it takes a lot of sessions to do it.

it’s even more expensive and painful than getting a tattoo from what i gathered when my ex bandmate got his hand tattoo lasered.

You ducked up by not coming to London then

doooood. and i was super excited to meet and/or spank you. but, we're only there for a bit, and flying into Zurich, so hitting France and Italy 'cause they're next door. next time?

No shit man. Tons of artists I want pieces from in London. Fuck Paris though. Dirty ass French bastards.

FRENCHIES.

lol. i mean, if we're talking traveling just for an awesome piece, i AM going to figure out how to get something done from my favorite artist. but he's in Sao Paulo. and The Wiff is pretttttty adamant about "we're not going to get KIDNAPPED just to get a tatooo".

lol. she thinks Brazil is wayyyy too unsafe. but i got PLANS.

like i said earlier. left arm still needs color in the roses, bandana, and eyes but is mostly done. just letting it heal before adding color.

thanks! speaking of traveling and getting tattoos. while i'm visiting my sister in colorado for christmas i'm thinking about getting a piece from a good artist out there.

[behndy]

niiiiice stuff homie!

jia. there are a few artists i follow on The 'Grams that i would totally travel to get a piece from.

we're picky, but for travel tats it's usually pretty simple stuff. we just try to get something reflective of where we went.

what i have so far (think i've posted them before) -



octi is from Hawaii, Conch is from Bahamas. splash of color on each is what color The Wiff's hair was at that moment.

the woman we scheduled with 2 months before our trip FUCKED us so we ended up with nothing when we went to Alaska in October. asshat.

i like the idea of them being small tattoos. i keep getting big ones. also the color idea is very adorable. and major plus that your wife dyes her hair intense colors.

had this done today. by chance my artist did a flash drawing of an idea i had been kicking around for a while now. i don't think i ever told them about the idea either. so go figure. wavelengths or something anyways i fucking love it.

"A tattoo sleeve used to mean you were a biker who would kill, now it means you're a chef who makes a lovely pork belly with balsamic drizzle."

...glad i see no sleeves on jea

[waltdogg]

yeahup, tattoos are almost definitely not a taboo at all anymore. but art is art.

and different styles of tattooing are more associated with different cultures and subcultures, so it's not necessarily exclusive. even then there's some crossover.

That's great Walt!

Going in early 2018 to remove some of my knuckle tattoos and some on my right forearm. If all goes well I expect to have my neck, hands, and sleeves all lasered off into the cosmos. Wish me luck.
