Tattoos - February 2007

I have a tattoo on my lower back, that everyone tells me looks fine, but i just don't like it. I did when I got it, but the picture doesn't seem to fit where it is. I'm not sure what is wrong with it, I just don't liek it anymore. And I don't want teh scares of having it removed, so I thought maybe I could just fix it (but not a cover up). I am not artistically inclined enough to try and fix this and when I go to a parlor, they want me to tell them how to fix it. I'm not sure, I just want some ideas. Can someone help me? I can email you a picture of it on my back to hear your ideas? Or maybe, please, draw me up something. I would really love that. Please, help.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo for ages. I am now decided. I thought about Kanji lettering, my friends have told me this is tacky. They say go tribal. I don't know. What would you have?

I'm looking for someone who has neat, clean lines, vibrant colors, clean work area, sterilizes tattoo gun and all that. Please tell me who to go to and who to avoid in Oklahoma, past experiences, ect.... I know exactly what I want and where, but haven't a clue as to who to go to. Names and locations (city) would be awesome.

Oklahoma is rather small, so it doesn't really matter where, but I live 30 minutes from OKC if that helps.

Thanks for your advice time!!! 10 points to the most helpful answerer.

In my foolishness, I got two small tattoos - one on each foot, right above the toes. I do not want to get them removed; however, they do show when I wear heels. Now I'm preparing to interview for internships and I wonder if there is any way to cover them (without looking tacky), or should I simply not cover them and pray the potential employer does not notice?
Please note: They are not vulgar; simply kanji (a form of Japanese writing) which states "Where your feet go, there you go also"

I'm afraid it will stretch out and look nasty. Anyone have any experience with this?

I will be on vacation for 5 days there and am considering getting a tattoo there if I can find someone that is really good. Nothing major - Asian symbols on my lower back. I just don't have a lot of free time at home to do this so I am considering getting it done at the tail end of my trip. Would anyone advise against this? (pain, might be uncomfortable flying home?) Thanks :)

well its chinese lettering.. small tattoo a little lower then where my belly is. well i got the tattoo about four days ago, that tattoo artists told me to put "Palmer's Cocoa Butter Cream" on the tattoo at least five times a day and wash it once in the morning and once at night..


but just today when i took a shower, without rubbing it, a lot of the black kinda peeled off..
now im looking at the tattoo and there's spots that seem to have less black then other, but also its very shiny, even without putting on lotion..

i really don't know if this is normal.. i don't want the color to all go away, or for it to be weird so what should i do???

i don't know if the fact that i wear jeans alot has something to do with it

hi all - wondering....I can't believe I did this but i just booked my addition to my tattoo or a 2nd tattoo...going to be my daughter's Chinese name next to her portrait (3 characters....name is her actual Chinese name, not one created by the artist) The tattoo is 3 characters but since it is completely filled in basically, is this going to cause that much more pain than the initial tattoo with shading AND solid lines? I remember that the solid lines bothered me less than the shading but just wanted to get viewpoints from other individuals with both shading and solid line experience. Any thoughts?

This isn't my 1st tat but it's my 12th!!! So don't treat me as a newbie here & want serious answers/help. I haven't done anything different than any of the others either. But I got my newest tat on Jan 13th towards my shin & I'd say a day or 2 after the initial itching period subsided it started itching like mad while I was reading a book. When I looked down at it thinking maybe it's dry I see that it has a rash all the way around it spanning about an inch away from it including on it. It doesn't burn or have heat coming from it so I know it's not infected.

Since I'm too busy at work to go into the doctor till the end of next week I decided to try putting Desitin (diaper rash ointment) on it which has seemed to work for the most part but has anybody ever had this happen? I'm open to suggestions but not jerky comments from opnionated people who are against tats.

I'm asking as I have a phoenix tattoo and would like to get a Dragon as well. The tattoo is on my left lower leg and I'd like to get the Dragon on the otherside. Of course this leaves the back of my calf with nothing. I was thinking of a Koi back there but It may not fit well with the other two pieces.

I can't seem to find anything I like. My husband is Choctaw Indian and I would like something affiliated with that, but also something meaningful, like for the two of us. Any suggestions?

the first one I got, the tattoo artist did this all in one sitting and its about 2 inches big all around. I then got some tribal art done and it is about the same size. The second time around though was from a different artist. He did the outline then i went back 2 weeks later to get the shading done. Is it possible to just get my tattoo done and over with in a single sitting? I want to go out of town to get it done but don't want to make another trip just to get the rest done.

I plan to get a tat on my foot right above the big toe, the no smoking sign without the cigarette because I don't like feet, but I also want to get something else. I haven't decided where to put it or what to get, I already have one on my the left side of my lower back and I'm trying to think of some original and interesting ideas before I decide any further. Creative help!?

Mine are small and strategically located but I love body art period! Are tattoos offensive to others? I took my shoe off at a church meeting and had a tattoo on my toe I kept trying to hide!
