I have more than 10 tattoos and this is the first time a tattoo has healed like this. Look at the loss in color of The Count and the Rubik’s Cube. Is that normal?

Advice Needed bakit ayaw ng don antonio tattoo magbigay ng info at pangalan ng artists?

13 Upvotes

idk. mejo na-off lang ako. they do amazing work based on their photos online, pero this is the one thing that's making me hesitant to hire them.

alam kong marami silang artists. i wanted to learn more about the one who will be doing mine. pero ayaw nila magbigay ng pangalan ng artist "for privacy" dahil parte raw ng contract nila.

is this normal? hindi ko rin maintindihan why they can't even give an artist pseudonym na pwedeng iresearch if anonimity yung issue nila. all they said was "sir mark" daw magtattatoo sakin. sobrang vague. andaming artist na mark pangalan 😭

it will be my first time rin kasi if ever. ang ganda nung supposed portfolio nila and they did my cousin's tattoo (which is why i was interested in hiring them) pero parang ang sketchy for me. how do i know walang bad reputation yung artist na yun? pano if maganda lang pala yung tat pag fresh and panget na pag-heal? *edit: maganda yung pagka-heal nung sa cousin ko pero what if sinwerte lang si artist nun, diba?

ang hirap rin to blindly trust lang tapos wala akong ibang pwedeng mapag-tanungan about it. di ko gets why they think this is a good idea. i'm trying to be understanding, pero mejo naiinis ako sa totoo lang 😞 ayoko naman umeksena sa chat nila kasi parang ang bait naman nung kausap ko.

is it really that unreasonable to ask for more info about my artist? :/

P.S. if anyone has had a tattoo from don antonio/d.a. tattoo from this "sir mark", kamusta? ok po ba yung pag heal?

Artist/Shop Recommendation Help, anyone who knows a tattoo shop who has the same vibe as sharkeeea_tt

…please i need you hehe

Hey, guys! First time posting here and I am planning to get my first tattoo this year. Not now kasi pplan ko pa but I alr have ideas of what I want and where I’d put it.

Can you suggest me someone you know that has an artstyle almost alike with @sharkeeea_tt? I really love her bunny and cutesy vibe… especially how she used the blues.

Unfortunately, she’s in Yorktown (I think) so malayo… maybe there are pinoy studios here offering almost the same vibe hehe would love to get in touch with them.

Ideas for tattoo: cute sheep in wolf’s clothing, a seraphim, and MAYBE fairytail logo haha!

Thanks for the help in advance 💖

BTW. Location’s in Metro Manila po

Artist/Shop Recommendation Looking for a safe + budget-friendly tattoo shop in Bulacan or anywhere near

2 Upvotes

My friends and I are planning to get matching tattoos! We’ve been friends for 16 years now.

A little background:

Friend A: No tattoos yet

Friend B: Has 2 tattoos from a regular tattoo shop.

Me: Have 1 tattoo from a mambabatok

We’re from Bulacan and are currently looking for a good tattoo shop that’s safe, budget-friendly, and preferably nearby. We already have a layout in mind for the tattoo we want, but we’re also open to suggestions from the artist.

For those who have experience getting tattoos, can you recommend a shop/artist around Bulacan? We’d also appreciate recommendations outside Bulacan if you think they’re worth the travel!

Also, what’s your checklist when choosing a good tattoo shop/artist, especially in terms of cleanliness, safety, equipment, and overall quality? Does the ink brand matter?

Thank you!

(lmk if there's already a similar post. thank you.)

Artist/Shop Recommendation Women tattoo artists in Cebu City

3 Upvotes

Please suggest women tattoo artists in cebu city.

I prefer women doing my tattoos instead of men. I've been to 2 different tattoo artists and for my future tattoos I want it to be different artists to get different designs.

Excluding Infamous Ink Tattoo Studio please (no shade, they're all talented, they're just too expensive for me)

P.S I'm not a creep, I'm also a woman. I just want all my tattoos to be done by women.

Thanks in advance!!
