Nrrds!

Allan got to tattoo Hata a few days ago, and if you know Hata you'll know that this is something that doesn't happen too often.
In fact, Allan hadn't tattooed him since our first trip to Japan back in 2004.
Pretty big deal!
But a small tattoo, so despite a bunch of whining and complaining, he survived.

Rei is impressed (maybe!?)

The final result: ED-209

And while we're on the subject of über-nerds, our friend Chrystal finally got her other foot done, so Chewie won't be lonely anymore.*

Wednesday Randoms - Wrist Tattoos.

The braille tattoo says 'Love'

Still no laptop :(
But my online store is on the way!

Hi guys,

Remember how i said i was thinking about making t-shirts?
I've decided I will be making three different ones, two will be print t-shirts and the other one will be a shredded t-shirt.
Here is a sneak peak of what the shredded one will look like. It will be available in white with a narrow shred, and black with a wide shred.

This is the perfect way to show off those back tattoos stylishly ;)

Reader's Tattoo

Thanks Thomas for sending this in!

It says 'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things that i can, and the wisdom to know the difference.' in Arabic.

Still haven't got my laptop back yet :(

Ta dah!

Sorry, i haven't forgotten about this blog, it's just that all the tattoo stuff seems to get posted over here.
So that leaves me and this blog with... a foot.
A rose on a foot.
Hope you like it, i really had to fight Allan for it!

Done at Inkrat sometime in April

So, we're (obviously) still in Japan.
We're trying to have a bit of a vacation, and for me that means not answering emails in a timely manner.
Bear with me, i need the time off.
Also, we're not taking any bookings at the moment anyway, so if it's not urgent, it'll just have to wait.
Everything will be back to normal (whatever that means) in the beginning of May.

Also, we have changed the date of the official opening party yet again.
It seems that me and Allan are the only two people at the shop in May, so it'd be a little silly to have the party then.
So, after much consideration, we decided to move the opening until July, when the whole gang is (hopefully) in Copenhagen at the same time.
The date should be announced soon, and you, dear readers, will be the first to know!

Using Tattoo 3D to Cover Scarring

Using Tattoo 3D to Cover Scarring

Most people look at tattoos as a method for creating a purely elective marking of the body. This has not always been the case. For some people, tattoos are an excellent way to cover up scars.

When you damage the skin on your body with serious trauma, it reacts. It works to heal the body by growing new material in the area, often in the form of skin. This new growth often is great at dealing with the injury, but leaves some unsightly scarring. At a minimum, the scarring can be a shiny area that sticks out. At worst, it can be bumpy and very noticeable.

The solution to bad scarring is plastic surgery. A surgeon can do skin grafts or other procedures that deal with the visual appearance. The problem is insurance companies do not like to pay for plastic surgery. This means you have to foot the bill and it is not cheap - not at all. One alternative that has existed for some time is to tattoo the scarred area.

To find the best tattoo artists in your area, just ask around to find out who does scar tattoos. They are difficult tattoos that require serious talent. Why? Well, most scars have ridges, bumps and bulges. A quality tattoo artist is going to come up with an image that is going to by in synchronicity with the scarring.

I met a young lady in an adult beverage establishment one evening who had a rose tattoo. It was fairly large and really captured the eye. The tat was located just above the front, center of her jean line and it was beautiful. A close look at it revealed it was a scar tattoo. The young lady had been in a car accident as a kid and had a big scar above her bikini line. The scar had half moon ridges. The tattoo artist had done the tattoo is such a way that the end of the petals ran along the scars. It created a stunning 3D look and was one of the more amazing tattoos I'd every seen.

The young lady told me that she was seriously embarrassed by the scarring. Despite living in San Diego, she never went to the beach because people would stare. The tattoo literally changed her life. People would still stare, but because it was so amazing.

If you have an issue with scarring and don't know what to do, give some thought to a tattoo. There are some brilliant tattoo artists who can turn what you might perceive as a negative into a definite positive. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than plastic surgery as well!

Amazing Design 3D Tattoo On The Arm For Men 3D Tattoos

Amazing Design 3D Tattoo On The Arm For Men 3D Tattoos

This is a 3D design drawing is very unusual tattoo according to say, because the design 3d spider tattoo is very much alive. It must be very painful and long process of manufacture. Look at where the skin such as peeling and in it as there is armor with a symbol of the spider, and the outer skin made like a bruise. Once again I think this design 3d spider tattoo that is very amazing.
No less a design 3d spider tattoo on top, 3d tattoo design is also amazing muscle. Look at how the muscles can seem almost like the original. Maybe that's our muscles if no skin ha ... ha ... ha ... In terms of manufacture must be very complicated and filled with precision. Where detail the muscles must be fit and clear. I believed that if you make a 3d tattoo designs these muscles must be very proud.

3D Tattoos Available Soon Says Futurist

3D Tattoos Available Soon Says Futurist

A futurist recently stated in an online think tank that he believed that genetic 3D tattoos maybe possible within the next couple of decades. He went onto predict that the use of cell expression, cell coating and genetic modification using the latest cutting edge discoveries would indeed aid in the process. The Futurist was latter asked about uses for such a novelty and claimed that such advances in tattoo research would have valuable application in security and military as well as the current and most common use of tattoos; individuality and self expression.

A fellow thinker online stated that; "3-D genetic tattoos can be used for identification purpose instead of finger printing the hologram will absorb and reflect a certain combination of wavelength which can be recognised or sensed by a biosensor or a DNA chip having the same sequence of that person."

The futurist answered in reply; "Well yes, I was watching a discovery channel special on Tattoos in Russian Gulag and Tattoos are used by gangs for affiliation identification and people use them for self-expression of individualism and identity, you are long the lines of my thinking. I was merging many topics into one. But also realizing that this is 20-years out for human scientists currently. You will find many original thoughts of mine on this website, based loosely on scientific discoveries or trends, which indicate potential eventualities of future events."

Imagine a future with 3D Tattoos on humans with areas of translucent skin, tattoos which could be turned on or off by frequency switches. Incredible thoughts indeed and worthy of mention as it appears it will be not only a bright and colorful future, but one in 3D.

Tattoo Genetic 3D

Tattoo Genetic 3D
Currently people get a tattoo, which is cut into their skin and then perhaps colored in. Body Art is a way to self-express one's self and there is probably no better way to make a statement about your individuality than with a personalized tattoo. In the future there will be genetic tattoos, which will keep your tattoo perfectly the same for your natural life. You will be able to get translucent skin with a deep tissue tattoo which can be a three dimensional tattoo similar to a hologram. You will be able to get any color found anywhere in nature and you can choose what you would like.

Genetic Tattoos will be available within the next couple of decades, the first ones will be used to indicate security clearances for secret government and military operations and then later these technologies will pass into the private sector thru medical transfer technologies and then into Tattoo Parlors with these specialized Genetic Tattoo machines. Dads can get the family portrait on the insides of the forearms and never need to dig into their wallet for motivation or a reminder of why they do what they do. Veterans will never forget the fallen comrades and anyone who wishes to say anything can say it permanently in style with a 3D genetic tattoo. Think on this.

Hi guys,

You may have noticed that I haven't posted for a while. The reason is that my laptop is broken, and all my tattoo files are on it :(

I've taken it to be repaired today, but it could take up to two weeks, depending on how serious it is.

I'll try to post during these two weeks using my bf's laptop, but as i said, i don't have my files :(

Thanks for being supportive!
