The snake looks great, but I can barely make out the handwriting. Did she write it directly on you and then tattooed over, or was it transferred from a sheet of paper?

Kevin, how are you eggs coming along?

She wrote the words right on my skin.For dave the eggs are a little dented.What i did was took some small water bowls.And i put them in oposite corners.Then filled them with water.So hopefully this helps regain their fullness.Its just the eggs on top that are denting slightly.The ones on the bottom look like they did when laid.But day 25 and all are still good.So im excited things look good.I hatched my childrens python eggs.I hatched 4 out of 6 of those.Be sweet to get 100% hatch rate from the balls.

The tattoo of the spider is really great...but the hand writing really detracts from it...it was a great birthday gift and a great personal touch..but to be honest...it makes the entire tattoo crappier, with the squiggly handwriting around the really nicely done snake.

Sorry if that sounds harsh..its the art critic in me...maybe you can get the tattooist to remove the writing...or hide it with something more...artistic.

Sorry, but I have to agree. It's hard to read.

I realize the writing isnt perfect.But its my wifes handwriting.This is my first tat.I wanted to make it special.Her handwriting gives it a whole new meaning to me.Im going to cherish this thing forever.

But you asked, What are you thinking man? You gotta get it together. The addiction will calm itself if you surf the classifieds long enough. shesh

looks good, but i have to add, i have tons of ink, and ive been told neosporin will not let the skin breath enough, just use plain old lubaderm (sp?) lotion 3 times a day of so and youll heal better, ill have to get a pic of my boa tat on here someday!
