Thanks mate - designed the piece myself. I worked in a tattoo shop for 3 years and used to design custom pieces and coverup stuff. I like unusual stuff and always wanted a web on my elbow but something with a twist!! its not everyday you see someone with a stained glass window on their elbow!! LOL!! On the otherside of the same arm I have a cow that is high onmajic mushrooms!! Like I say I like unusual stuff... :D

[eggsonlegs]

HAHA - I find that with white ink, or any colour for that matter (apart from black) its all about how you heal it or should I say what you use to heal it. What you been using to heal your ink up dude? :D

[eggsonlegs]

Cheers dude - most people who see it say it looks mad!! LOL!! as for current projects I've pile of drawing to do at the minute - loads of different stuff - I mainly do full sleeve designs and cover-ups these days - after I "left" the shop I was working in I tried t get an apprenticeship in a couple of other places but couldn't find anything decent so went back to my other passion of herpetology. Been thinking of getting a machine and starting up myself but not had time and need a bigger place first!! :D

I'm extremely jealous dude i'd give my left nut for some DC tickets - would say i feel bad about your hearing but since you went and I didnt I hope you go deaf!! LOL!!! :D

next time you get a tattoo with alot of colour in try Bepanthen. You can get it from boots - its baby nappy rash cream. When you get home from the tattoo shop - remove the cover, clean it up with warm water, pat it dry and put the cream on. Its kind of greasy so rub it all in to the new tattoo and leave it uncovered. As soon as it starts to dry out put some more on.
I do this probably about four times a day for a week. After a week when it drys out the tattoo will go a bit flakey then i just use moisturiser on it for a couple of days.
The thing with the Bepanthen is the tattoo does not scab at all so none of the colour is lost with the scab - I used it to heal the spiderweb tattoo I posted pics of and it healed up within a week!! I also used it on Mooby who is now about 6 years old and as bright as the day he was done!!! :D Give it a go dude...

[Double Agent]

I just inked my auntie, who also recommended Bepanthen. I'll get some next time I get inked. You're into herps too? Wicked man, what you got??

How long you got!!LOL!! I mainly breed geckos but the more unusual species, I currently got breeding colony setups for giant madagascan day geckos, Tokays, Gold dust day geckos, vietnamese golden geckos, african fan footed rock geckos, madagascan ground geckos and frog eyed wonder geckos. I also got a gravid bearded dragon (true purple tigers!!) whos gonna pop any day and one of my incubators has got 73 oustalets chameleon eggs cookin away - due to hatch around september time!! needless to say my mrs is very understanding... :D

[Double Agent]

Sounds like you've got your hands full. I've got 2 x corn snakes (one hypo, one amel) a royal python and 2 x leopard gecko's (one normal, one hypo)

I could use some advice actually, will PM you...

[elchopchop]

PM replied to dude... :D

[Scarlett]

Some really great tattoos. I loved the cow, so unusual it looks fab!
I use Savlon for healing the first week then vaseline and never scab either.

The stained glass web is good design too, especially as you did them yourself!
Wow.

Oh, and we don`t keep any lizards etc but we do keep tropical fish and have a 20ft fish tank with a red tailed cat and tiger shovelnose. I know a lot of reptile specialists also have fish interests (or maybe I`m wrong)!

We also have 6 Macaws, 4 of the large ones (Blue and Golds, Harlequins and Greenwings) and 2 smaller Severe Macaws.
Do they count as unusual?
