Just finished the rough template for the wings of the angel i have to do... what do you think?  I'm pretty pissed off with how it came out, but i'll chalk it up to it being the first time i properly tried doing consecutive feathers... and it works for a template i guess |

So I wanted to throw my 2 cents into this discussion as a non-tattoo expert/person, but rather a person who got a tattoo underage. I did it at a shop with a fake ID when I was 17, but I didn't have an appointment... or a plan. Now, I wouldn't say I regret it persay.. but I probably wouldn't get it if I went back in time. Truth is, it's on my ankle and I don't see it that much. But it has made me think hard about getting another one, though I'd like to. Anyways, that Michigan isn't horrible and you can always cover it, but I wouldn't suggest getting any more in a similar fashion, as much as you may want to now. Here's mine.. you can see the stars are uneven and unevenly spaced, though it is quite dark. FYI the lines are not as uneven in weight/darkness as they look, that's a function of the shadow, low light and a crappy phone cam. I've thought hard for about 5 years now what I could do to make it better and haven't really come up with any options. Any ideas?  |

Thats the template finished.... and yes i know the wings are a little slanted and stuff, these sorts of things are reasons i make templates  Also, her top half looks a little small, thats because i photographed it at an angle  So I wanted to throw my 2 cents into this discussion as a non-tattoo expert/person, but rather a person who got a tattoo underage.

It looks like a crime scene outline of where you spilled your food on your leg. This is why I love you, Doom  |

Was hoping to have some extra cash on this paycheck to get a little work done, then my boss decided to tell me that he is moving to Pittsburgh on Friday. I wouldn't mind, except for the whole "my boss is my ride to work, and now I'm boned" thing. I've got to drop around $300 in a car to get it up and running or I won't have a way to get to my job next week.
That being said, I'm having my friends chip in and pay for a nice piece as my birthday present. That, and a night at the bar, gotta celebrate 21 in style.

I'm so looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I've thought hard for about 5 years now what I could do to make it better and haven't really come up with any options. Any ideas? If it's to the point where you can't really think of anything else, you could probably cover it up quite easily with a new one considering its size. |

They should be able to tell you at least what size you would be looking for and all that. You probably could do it with another star if you like stars. |

I gotta gree with everyone else Becca... i know you PM'ed me and said you like the idea of white ink (i think thats what you put) but that wouldn't really do much for that tattoo and wouldn't really go with the style. Considering what it is, it should be no problem to cover up |
