About Tattoo Care

Begin at the Beginning

Proper tattoo care actually begins before the ink is ever inserted under your skin. It requires the tattooist to practice proper sterilization and safety practices such as not reusing needles and keeping sanitary shop conditions. This is necessary to avoid spreading diseases, such as Hepatitis that attacks the liver, and preventing skin infections.

It is also important to make sure you are not allergic to the inks used during the tattoo process. Not all tattoo inks are formulated the same, so even if you have an existing tattoo, that doesn't mean you won't experience a reaction this time. Make sure you disclose any allergies you may have and, if possible, have a small skin test done before committing to a full design

Tattoo Designs - Celtic Strength Tattoos

Wearing a Celtic knot work tattoo can be a symbol of strength. It can be a strong declaration to the world that you are proud of your Celtic or your Christian heritage - a symbol from which you can take strength. It can simply be that you gain strength by connecting to a people with a history of bold deeds, great accomplishments and a rich mythology.

Where would you find your strength? Maybe you strength comes from nature or one of its creatures. Then your tattoo can have your favourite animal image interwoven in the knot work or, if are more drawn to the Celtic Otherworld, you Your strength tattoo

may choose a mythical creature from their folklore. The cross and circle found in the Celtic cross predate Christianity and have their roots in nature worship - the sun, the moon. Maybe you can gain strength from wearing those ancient symbols and thus connecting to the Universe.

Knot work designs alone can be strength tattoos but Celtic tribal tattoos can be even more dramatic. They work well as armbands or larger back drawings. You have a great deal of choice, as there is a vast array of designs developed over many years. With a little research you should be able to find your Celtic strength tattoo.

Working on my Film...

I keep getting asked "Miya why are you still tattooing?" I'm still tattooing because it seems like the people are now starting to understand the art of tattooing more and the demand for my services is at an all time high...so I can stop now... With "scratchers" and more people trying to be tattooist, there is more bad low quality in urban America than good body art...plus tattooing is helping me pay for my DREAMS... I have been to the bank many times trying to get business loans... I even tried to get private investors to put money up for other businesses i will be starting... I tattoo to pay for my film project... I tattoo to pay for my private art studio so I can finish my book... I tattoo to feed my family... And I tattoo because I love & respect this art form...the other night we filmed another artist (in Atlanta this time) my homie, Ant formerly of City of ink...he specialize in photo realism...a form of tattooing that is very public these days....Ant shared his story how he went from tattooing at a flea market... To meeting celebrity tattoo artist, Tuki Carter... To getting hired at City of ink... To opening up his own tattoo shop in Riverdale GA...I hope when flea market tattoo artists see his story on this film it will inspire them to leave those types of surroundings and look for better shops to tattoo in or open their own shops that won't fit the stereotypes of "urban tattooing"

Drawing allnight....

I just got off work and everyone is sleep....after a long day of tattooing it sucks when your the only one up with no one to talk too.... I'm thankful I have my bulldog, Rabbit.... He's a lazy as dog but he's really good company on nights like these...I'm about to work on pages from my book
"Before I'm Gone".... My blunt is rolled up, Rabbit is being lazy, Rick Ross new album is playing, And I just put on my favorite shorts now it's time to get inspired and get to drawing again.. My first tattoo appointment is at 3pm so I have a few hours to work on this book, get some sleep and wake up and get ready for work again.... Life of an artist...when everyone is away & sleep "ART" will be your best friend... So let's get started

$50 & Up Tattoos I did yesterday..

Yesterday I woke up with a random thought...."I'm going to help City of Ink do walk-ins today & even do them at the same price as my staff" Everyday City of Ink takes walk-ins from 1pm-9pm... Sophie, Melvin, and Chris do an amazing job everyday doing tattoos for $50 and up....my tattoos start at $500 because they take hours to do... So I wanted to do some 30-45 min tattoos like I use to do when I was a teenager....I'm always doing big pieces so doing small tattoos when I have free time is like going back in time to my youth again.... I still think I'm rusty doing small tattoos, it's not really my things and I hate time limits in art but I really did the best I could with the tattoos I did for only $50-$100... Here they go... And to my follow tattoo artists don't laugh at me.














I took my lunch/dinner break and ate some really good food from Smiling Budah.... Cracked open the cookie and I got the message "Your hard work is about to pay off." that put a smile on my face and I got back to work





I personally feel the younger artists at City of Ink do wayyyy better short session & small tattoos than I do... But i tried... I know my weakness is small tattoos.... So if you want to support me & the COI movement go to my team for the smaller, cheaper pieces... I like to stay in my own lane.... Until next time...for the record the time next walk-ins I do will be for my family & friends.... the last weekend of August

Butterfly Coverup...

As most of y'all know I really hate "butterfly tattoos" but hey you have to still please the clients who don't read my blogs too...as long as she was happy then I'm happy.. I just want to make sure ALL City of Ink clients are pleased and happy with their new body art... She asked for a butterfly, rose, and 3 stars for your 3 children...I couldn't make the rose "red" when doing the coverup so I made it purple... Using dark colors makes the coverup way more easy to do...thanks a lot and I hope you had a safe drive back SC.

Hand Tattoo..

I been working on this sleeve for about a year now...the next step was covering his hand


I pulled out the sharpie markers and got the design out my mind... He wanted a classic "Laugh Now Cry Later" theme


Once the marker design is laidout and approved by the client... I did the outline.. Making sure it's clean and solid


After the outline I did the shading.. Making sure my machine is running smoothly so it could have soft smooth shading








This piece hook me about 2 hours to do... I also have video of me doing the outline of this tattoo on YouTube.com/miyabailey

Bahamas Ghetto Life & Art

On Sunday I got to Nassau... I was ready to get off the ship... They gave us until 4:30pm to make it back to the ship or they were leaving without you...


I hit the streets...I'm not a big fan of the tourist scene so I walked around looking for people I could relate to...


They told us on the ship that it could be dangerous... But I'm no coward... And I will never me afraid of my own people... I'm not rich and struggle is universal...and I know struggle... So I knew I would feel more comfortable in the ghetto than going around shopping.. I can shop in Atlanta, NYC, or LA... Nassau was special.


I ran across some beautiful street art...the graffiti scene is different in the Bahamas.. They use lots of layers and cut out stencils.... Like screen printing on walls








This piece wasn't just "street" art it had a fine art feel... It was my favorite piece I seen.. I had to shoot it.. It moved me


Everyone was asking me about my tattoos... So I guess that was a good intro to meeting the people.. A few of them had heard of me and said "Bailey your a real nigga for an American" I told them "I'm NOT an American and I don't follow their beliefs, I'm just a country ghetto nigga trying to inspire those around me. I was born there and just stuck there for a sec until I get my money right." this kid about 9 or 10 about the age of my son sold me a bag of weed... So I had to look for a place to smoke out...they pointed me to the beach and said "follow the yellow brick road" I walked through some HARD looking areas... Clearly the people were poor and I didn't see a white face or tourist in sight...they said the police don't go over there so it was a perfect place for me


It wasn't good weed.. It was brown but it would do... I never really smoked brown weed before ..I jumped on a wall with a couple of dope boys... Rolled my joint and watched the kids do back flips off the wall into the ocean like they were professional swimmers....I have video and more photos of the people on my camera so I will post them later once I upload them to my computer....


I talked for hours with the people... We talked about the police, hip-hop, America, weed, guns, life, pain, and women... They said i'm safe anytime I wanted to visit and I gave them my cell number

My Bahamas Cruise

I landed in Miami...it was really hot... That's one beautiful city and it's always good to be there but it was a short stay... Made a run to the bank to pick up some cash then went to the Port of Miami to board the ship...


Once I got on the ship I didn't even unpack.. First thing I did was take off my clothes put on my swimming trucks and laid in the sun....


Once the ship took off and we were in the ocean... I looked for the view of the sun... When I feel the sun I know the Most High is touching me...God is real


I was trying to get a tan...beer belly out and the only thing I was missing was some weed...but I was so relaxed I didn't even need to smoke anything... I felt high with nothing at all


The ship was huge... The first few hours not that many people were out... I guess they were getting settled in and unpacking


The breeze felt amazing.. A perfect balance with the heat from the sun


All I could do is think about sharing this with my family and friends...I never felt so relaxed in my life.. I was at peace... No cellphone, no tv, no Internet


I had to dress up for dinner and get my Malcolm X on... I have more photos on my camera...I will post them later...once I got to the island I went straight to the "ghetto" the people treated me like one of their own... I'm not down with that tourist stuff... If I can't be around my own people then something is wrong... I will post more of the ghetto pics later once I get to City of Ink








More video and photos coming soon from the Bahamas
