A-TODA-SO!

(I don't actually know, I just wanted to post that)

And yeah Emaline, just treating it as normal but it seems to only happen once the stretch is totally healed. I imagine it could be something to do with my hair getting into it and fuckin' it up.

Eris · « **Reply #3051 on:** 05 Apr 2010, 05:50 »

Obviously you should cut your hair. It's a sign!

Woo!

Ok, so from what I've heard from the piercers I've talked to, horn is a lot softer compared to bone and shell, but is there any difference between horn and light horn other than color? I'm just asking because I think my next pair is going to be a pair of helixes from Tawapa and if one is better than the other, I'd like to get the more durable of the two. Thanks!

If anyone is interested, here are 4 amazing sites to get jewelry from.

HeartonSleeveJewelry.com

Oracle Body Jewelry

Diablo Organics

Evolve Body Jewelry Company

HeartonSleeves is actually a local guy and I ordered a pair of his Lignum Vitae set of plugs in 23.8mm. Linked that from onetribe (another great site) because he doesn't have a full picture I can link too.

Oh. My. God.

I really wish I could afford those right now.

picture/arm angle screwed the fingerss, they look better in meat life

Slick · « **Reply #3057 on:** 07 Apr 2010, 16:11 »

Man I hope they end of that arm doesn't have a hand on it. That'd make that tattoo so much cooler.

abadname · « **Reply #3058 on:** 09 Apr 2010, 12:46 »

So who is getting the outline of a 3/4 sleeve on sunday for $200? Oh yes, I am.

Old school pirate/tattoo sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve. Post pictures when they come.

Eris · « **Reply #3059 on:** 09 Apr 2010, 21:14 »

New piercing! Woooo!

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #3060 on:** 09 Apr 2010, 21:24 »

What did you get? Tell me! I'm at work so I can't get on meebo. Post pictures damn you!

Eris · « **Reply #3061 on:** 09 Apr 2010, 21:35 »

I got a vertical labret. I am in Anise, so I can't meebo anyway, and I have work tonight, so photos will have to wait. I went to Polymorph, and the people there were really nice and fixed my nose stud while I was there so it doesn't hang down any more. I am a definite satisfied customer!

ackblom12 · « **Reply #3062 on:** 09 Apr 2010, 21:40 »

Oooo, I'm eager for pictures of this one.

Adding my cries of OMG HAN-HAN PICZ PLZ

Also what up bitches I got my Darwin tattoo on Wednesday! It is disgusting and peely right now so no pics for a little while.

Aurjay · « **Reply #3066 on:** 10 Apr 2010, 22:24 »

k here is an update from my earlier post. After going to the guy for 3hours of work and $240 this is what i got

I still have to go back and get color added but still I'm very pleased with the results. Also on a different subject my girlfriend flew in for my Bday today and surprised me. So basically my 30th birthday was the best one ever.

Lines · « **Reply #3067 on:** 10 Apr 2010, 22:30 »

Wow, that's awesome! What kind of color are you going to get? I kind of like all the brown as is, so it'd be interesting to hear what you're doing with that.

Eris · « **Reply #3068 on:** 11 Apr 2010, 01:20 »

Ok, here is a not-very-good quality photo for the time being; I will take a better one tomorrow in proper light.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #3069 on:** 11 Apr 2010, 02:35 »

I really like it!

I want to get some new piercings and I can totally afford them! The only thing holding me back is the worry that I won't be able to find a job (I'm looking for retail work) very easily with facemetal. That and the fact that my dad will very likely disown me and I kind of like him.

Eris · « **Reply #3070 on:** 11 Apr 2010, 05:00 »

ok, so, the top ball came off during the evening (I was watching Kick Ass), so I had to go into a (public?) bathroom and faff about with it until i could get it screwed back on. I have soaked it and am icing it to try and help with the swelling, but am too scared at the moment that it is going to come off again in my sleep to go to bed. It is feeling less tight on my lip, but I am still terrified of it getting infected.

Going to go back to the piercers tomorrow to talk to them about it.

Its going to be brass and copper with a little metal blue thrown in as well. I'm really happy with the amount of detail he put into it. I cant wait to see what its going to look like with the color added.

3/4ish sleeve outline done. It's big and sick. Pictures to be added to this post once I take the bandage off.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what my dr has to say about it at physical therapy. Since that arm was broken recentlyish

Also thank you for the food for my ego, I kind of like you guys even if I'm not around much...

Also Eris, that looks really good on you, I like it. and Aurjay, that is some really good work for how little you paid for it.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #3080 on:** 15 Apr 2010, 08:17 »

guys! guys! guys! My new plugs came in from HeartonSleeveJewelry.com and my wonderful wife took pictures of them while I am at work so here we are!

They will develop a green hue with sun exposure apparently and that is where the color that the earlier examples I posted will come from. Fun!

vettechinohio · « **Reply #3081 on:** 16 Apr 2010, 21:05 »

I just got this today. It's a combination homage to my best dog, Mogwai (aka Gizmo) and... something else I'm not allowed to mention yet (:

This is my dog

And this is my tattoo

Jace · « **Reply #3082 on:** 16 Apr 2010, 21:29 »

That is sort of horrifying but really cool!
Dear Tattoo Thread,
Got my ears gauged today. 12g. Here's a pic:

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #3083 on:** 16 Apr 2010, 21:36 »

Looks good! I'm glad you didn't get a portrait tattoo of your dog. While the dog is certainly a sweetie I think that portraits will never look as good as you think they will so Gizmo is a better option.

Guys I'm trying to come up with ideas for a back piece, I'm thinking of something really big, possibly Chernabog the Devil from the Night on Bald Mountain scene in Fantasia. It's one of my favourite pieces of music and certainly one of the most memorable pieces of animation I think Disney has ever put out (and a favourite from my childhood). I was thinking having him sitting atop Bald Mountain with the ghosts and demons swirling around him.

Something like this:

Had to hotlink it because I'm at work. I'll fix it up when I get home though.

Edit: Lookin' good Jace!

sean · « **Reply #3084 on:** 17 Apr 2010, 13:44 »

jace whats yr goal size?

Jace · « **Reply #3085 on:** 17 Apr 2010, 15:05 »

My goal is 12mm, maybe 13. I'm pretty damn excited that I got this.

Eris · « **Reply #3086 on:** 18 Apr 2010, 19:16 »

a better photo, finally! my lip is still swollen, I guess, but it used to be so swollen that it filled up that extra bar length. I am looking forward to changing to a smaller bar, because I am already bumping the extra length all the time. Actually, now that I look at the photo better, it is more swollen than I thought. Hopefully that goes down more soon, because my mouth looks really bottom-heavy at the moment.

scarred · « **Reply #3087 on:** 18 Apr 2010, 19:21 »

that looks really rad!

and yeah the swelling goes down over the course of the first week or two. a friend of mine got the same thing and she looked like she was pouting for a while because of the puffiness.

Rizzo · « **Reply #3088 on:** 19 Apr 2010, 04:05 »

Jace, my ears are 12.5mm, I'll post a pick in the next few days, it's rad.

In a modification note, I dyed my eyebrows. Now I look like groucho marx. Fuck.

update...HOLY CRAP IT ITCHES. Seriously i had no idea it would be this bad. I keep putting lotion and carmax on it but its driving me insane. This is almost as bad as the tattoo itself but at least the tattoo pain went away after a day. This has been going on for 3days now and im begging it to stop.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #3093 on:** 20 Apr 2010, 19:00 »

don't put too much lotion though! when mine itched, i slapped it. that helps a lot cuz you still feel like you're doing something

Rizzo · « **Reply #3094 on:** 21 Apr 2010, 04:33 »

Guys I just ordered a 1/2 inch/2.5 cm set of these;

Yeah, i've been dealing with that too. Mine stopped itching too much because people would grab my arm a lot to look at it so they'd usually grab the right spot.

Hm, gonna get people's input one more time.

Would this make a good tattoo?

Without the text. Would the white spy present a problem? How does white ink look and how does it last?

Should I include the background colors (I like the red/white/black dynamic as opposed to just white/black) and if so, how?
