I have a friend that just got his tattoo put on 3 days ago on his wrist. Although you can get laser tattoo removal later, what can you do early on? How about peroxide or trying to pick the scab off? Any ideas or experience with this out there?

I just got a spray tan and I have a tattoo appointment in 2 days. I know a spray tan AFTER a new tattoo will affect it, but what about before? Thanks!

I have an upcoming appointment to get tattoo. The owner of the shop is doing it. He told me it would cost between $175-$200. How much do I tip since he is the owner and doesn’t have to pay a certain percentage to anyone else?

Please don’t just list names of places you’ve never been. If you have a link to a photo of a tattoo gotten there please post thanks!

I am 17 years old and going into my junior year in high school, and through all this pressure of finding a college and career and crap, I am extremely interested in becoming a tattoo artist.
I believe I’m a good artist and have a lot of accomplishments in art, and a developing portfolio.
So with that being said, how do I become an apprentice? Do I just walk in, and ask “Can I apprentice?”
I can’t really “hang out” in my favorite tattoo shop because you have to be 18 to go in there alone (stupid laws.)
Can anyone please give me any advice?
Thanks in advance!
I’m not tattooed at all, I plan to be, but I don’t imagine I will be too heavily tattooed. I admire people who are, I’m just kind of a wimp to pain (meaning over bone..I’m fragile lol)

Has anyone been prescribed antibitoics (pills or creams) for an infected tattoo? What worked for you? Thanks!

Shara asked:


Okay, I’m really thinking I want to get a tattoo. How do you find one you like? Do you have to bring a picture to the tattoo artist or do they have books to look through? I know you can buy subscriptions on websites to view tattoos, but are there any free sites? Please give me some beginner information. Thanks.

I want to give my boyfriend (of 10 months) a gift certificate for himself to go get a tattoo for his 22nd birthday. He already has several tattoos and talks about starting a sleeve on his arm. How much money should I put in the gift certificate? Or should I just make a homemade gift voucher stating that I will pay for his next tattoo at whatever place he chooses?
