I am looking for how much it would cost to have my entire back done. I also would like to know how long it would take to have done. There is already a Thresher Shark tail on my left shoulder that I would like to encompass into a oceanic scene.

Tattoo FAQ 10: Can you get tattoos on your breasts when you have implants?
Original question from our visitor:
I have a really important question about tatooing (well, important to me anyway!!)
I had breast cancer and had both of my breast removed and "reconstucted," i.e. saline implants that feel close to the surface b/c I do not have any breast tissue, just the implants and my skin. the reconstruction job is fairly shitty but my doctor is an ass and won't write a good reason for the reconstruction to be redone.
So, over the last few years I've thought it would be cool to simply have the breast tatooed with big flowers or something. Do you know anyone who has ever done this with reconstructed breasts? Can it be done? How far does the needle go in? Any info would be sooooo great and really appreciated.

Tattoo FAQ 12: Will a tattoo on the foot fade faster than a tattoo somewhere else?
Original question from our visitor:
I'm wondering if locating a tattoo on the top of the foot is "unwise". SOME artists have told me it won't hold up well--others said they do lots & they are fine---is it true that it will fade faster--and if so, how quickly?? --how long is it reasonable to expect a tattoo to stay sharp (anywhere) comparatively? Are we talking 10 years on a thigh as opposed to 5 on a foot? I'd appreciate any help since it may affect my final decision whether or not to get one

Tattoo FAQ 15: Can I get a tattoo on the earlobe?
Original question from our visitor:
I was told that getting a tattoo on your earlobe wouldn't look good because the skin regenerates all the time and the tattoo will constantly stretch and change. Do you know if this is correct?
