The Show Off Your Tattoo Thread

I've had a Japanese leg piece started with Marvel Themed Oni masks, started it last sat (first 7 hours) and have another 7 hours on it 2 weeks tomo. Amazing just over a year ago I started and I've got so many tats now lol.
 
had this done on Wednesday, this is straight after it with a lot of Bepanthon on it, so is still very bruised from the mist shading, this will calm down of course in the next week or so,

Quick question for you lads that have laser removal before getting a cover up done - how expensive is removal these days?

I'm in the process of getting some tribal covered up with a full Japanese style sleeve, and I'm really happy with how that is progressing.

On the other arm I have a full tribal half sleeve that branches out onto chest and back - I'd like this gone or at least faded so I can look at covering it up with something more artistic and me - is this likely to cost me my left testicle to afford?

prob gonna cost your soul :p:p:p:p

i hear its a lot of monies
 
I had a small tattoo removed and it cost £80 per session, and needed three, but for cover up, you only need to lighten it, so the work going over it is not affected,

best idea, go get a quote

I had 5 laser treatments at £40 a time to fade my old tattoo enough for a cover-up.
 
Just had my first decent sized tattoo done yesterday - love it:

St George montage. I wanted something with the george cross, but without looking BNP/EDL. The main part with George on horseback looking over a smaller dragons head, overlaid on the larger dragons head going up to the shoulder.

The main image i found of george was originally naked on horseback, so got a little chainmail added. Also had the shield a bit battle-worn.

Took about 4hrs. Not to everyones taste, but am v.happy with it. The intention is to get a large templar piece started on my back, and overwork some basic kanji i had done on my left arm about 20yrs ago, so this should all fit in nicely.

Just booked an appointment with Chris Crooks for my legpiece - August 2015 :O but an artist that is worth waiting for.

Banging work! Definitely worth the wait. The longest I've waited for an appointment is 2 years 10 months, the trick is to just forget about it!

I don't want the new design being compromised by having to cover up the old tattoo. I'm getting it lasered, so I have a nice clean canvas for the artist to work on. :)

I had my 1st tat done last year. Had a great design done, put it away for a few months to make sure I still liked it later on, researched for a good local studio, but my big mistake was not asking for a certain artist and ended up with the guy with less experience and the end result is awful!

So considering laser removal so I can get a cover up done. How many sessions does it take to fade enough? Mines a large, upper arm black/grey design.

It depends on a few factors, some people fade realy quickly with only 2 or 3 sessions, others need many...

Cheers. It's best to wait a few months after the last treatment otherwise the new tat will fade too is that correct?

Pity it's such a long process, I'm desperate to get rid, feeling scared for life. :(
