If you're not going to listen and go to Murray and you must go to Hat city please use Chris. Rob can't do a straight line to save his life.

Well guys I think I decided on what I want. I think something like this would be very cool: http://hatcitytattoo.com/gallery/chris/ ... ttoos-120/. Also I think it would incorporate pretty well into a half sleeve later in life.

It would, and it could - but if you want it to be really epic, you should consider traveling elsewhere.

What are you talking about? I changed the tattoo idea and the placement. Read the thread.

That person is just a spammer, don't worry about it.

So anyway, why don't you want to go to Murray?

Since I'm going for a traditional tattoo and they are normally pretty colorful, what are the chanches that I will have an allergic reaction to red/orange ink?

slim to none............

are you generailly alergic to things????

if you are REALLY that concerned because of past experiences,,,,,ask the artist to stab you with a little bit of those colors and see what happens....

To my knowledge I'm not allergic to anything, I was reading something on how some people are allergic to the ink and I was curious on how often it happens.

Same here, a couple of my tattoos with some red healed a little slowly but not a reaction. However, my most recent tattoo has a lot of red and it healed evenly with no problems at all.

I like the idea of the artist doing small touches of color somewhere... almost like a scratch test.

I'm not concerned about being allergic, but if I did ask for the dot test do you think I would sound kind of stupid? Also not all teenagers are dumbasses, I'm actually a pretty good mechanic and I already know what I want to do as a career.
