Any advice on designing my own tattoo? - Shelby

I always work with someone to design. If I need to change it to make it aesthetically better, I always make them a part of it.

What is the most popular design you have repeatedly done? - Reddlovesgreen

In the history of tattooing, tribal arm bands. I haven't done them in years, but I used to. The popular design these days is cherry blossoms.

Have you done any Michael Jackson tattoos ? - AnitahMJ

No, I haven't.

Do you prefer color or grey wash when tattooing?- Inked and Proud

I prefer color. I enjoy it, it's what Japanese style usually is.

What do you think of tattoos without the black outline? Do the colors stay? – Jennifer

Tattoos with no outlines will usually bleed apart.

Do you find it easier to do pet portraits or humans? -- Celticslovr

I don't specialize in either one, but I like to do human portraits since they're a lot more fun to do.

I'm just curious, ever done a Star Wars tattoo? – CamelotCasper

I have definitely done some Stars Wars tattoos. I have done a Darth Vader and a Yoda before.
