not really true. i had a cover up for my leg.. using green and red to cover black.

 

it all depends on the shade of black on your skin though. =)

well, its up to individual.. some ppl like to try different artists' works, some will prefer to stick to 1 artist.

 

for me, my leg and arm sleeves are done by the same artist. i guess only he knows what i actually want. =)

Here's a buncha interesting tattoo myths & lies I found from the other forum.

 

 

A tattoo will change your life.

Only if your self image is as shallow as your skin. Don't lay some heavy mystical-type expectation on your decision to get tattooed. On the other hand, the decision is permanent. Choose the design, location, and art wisely.

 

 

Artist want you to get real big designs so they can charge more.

Nonsense. Most established professionals have more work than they can handle and can make more money doing a lot of small, uncomplicated pieces than a few large complex ones.

 

 

I want your cheapest tattoo.

Go home. If you're shopping price, it's a safe bet you're getting tattooed for all the wrong reasons... it's cool, my friends have one, I'm expressing my individuality, it'll piss mom off. If you're serious about getting a tattoo, get exactly what you want, even if you have to save up for it.

 

 

You bet it hurts.

Not as much as you think and definitely not as much as some would like you to believe. Yes, some areas are more tender than others, but the discomfort is manageable if you're getting what you really want, where you really want it.

 

 

Everyone should get a tattoo.

Actually, some people live full and happy lives with just the original skin tones they were born with, thank you. Tattoos are a matter of personal choice. And that includes the choice not to get one.

 

 

Tattoos are accepted by society now.

Yes, more than say 10 or 20 years ago, but not as mainstream as you may think. Most non-tattooed people still associate tattooing with sailors, circus sideshows, skid row drunks and outlaw rebels. You would be wise to place your first tattoo where it is covered by normally worn clothing.

 

 

 

You're not a real tattoo fan if you don't have lots of tattoos.

Definitely not true. A person with one terrific tattoo displays more respect for the art form than someone with an armful of uninspired badly inked images.

i would but it would be a small art

[Sn0w_MaN]

well 50bucks usually is the size of a ring or maybe a 50cents coin size... unless u go to some outlet which u can neg the price but then neg the price dun expect too much on the airwork.

[Sn0w_MaN]

xiaoya mine is twice also done by nick haiz... in the 1st place i am more comfortable with jeremy but he got to do some design for my fren so in the end he ask nick to do. Until now i still prefer jeremy maybe is because he customized my 1st tattoo lor so got feeling...
