do it, he does some very good work im sure you wont be dissapointed
it might just be me, but some of them look really good, others theres something not quite right, and others are just a bit amateur? the colour and design wrok from one to another doesnt always seem consistant? If he is truly responsible for the really good ones then great, but if he’s responsible for the not so good ones id be a bit worried lol maybe its just me being cynical but i dont get how an artist like this can go from the guy with the 2 guns (im sorry i have no i dea who it is, i assume its a movie reference of some kind) to that dreadful dragonfly thing which has zero composition or style or uniqueness about it, all in block colours and no real detail and shading and so on. Maybe its just me… good luck with whatever you decide 🙂 x
yeah i agree with you.. some are really good in my opinion and some are so so. my friend and my talked to him for a bit and he was pretty straight forward about his work. that he can work with a budget but not to expect the best work for little money… i dont know if thats a good or bad thing coming from a tattoo artist. should they always do top notch work if they are capable even if its for less money or just be firm on only doing top work for top dollars? :confused:
as soon as he said that to me, i’d say thanks very much for all your help, turn around, go home and get back to the researching lol
Any decent artist will always produce a tattoo to the best of their ability and will quite simply charge what they charge, if they chose to do someone a favour in terms of price well thats up to them but the tattoo should not suddenly be shit just because they arent getting as much money. smaller maybe, but definitely not just a bad tattoo with the excuse of “yeh but i only charged them 20 quid!” i would keep looking hun, you wont regret it.
you have to remember that its the portfolio of the artist that sells it and keeps them in business, they can get a name for themselves by their work and as such dont want to put their name to crap, this is why the rockstars of the tattoo work can afford to turn down work if they dont like the idea or quite simply dont want to do it.
Keep searching and let us know what else you find 🙂 xxx

we’ll see what happens… i like most of his portraits and thats what i’m looking for… the guy that did my sleeve does them too but he doesnt have many reference pics
the money isnt really a problem, i dont mind paying for quality work.
so we’ll see
anyway… my sleeve is finally finished. just waiting for it to heal completely to take some good pics. will post later.
His stuff looks ok, but there are so many great artists who these color horror portraits, it would be a shame to settle imho. Maybe you coudl catch someone at a convention down there? (e.g.Ron 570, Cory Cudney, Paul Acker, Joshua Carlton). If that doesn’t work, what about Liz Cook in Dallas?
Her looks are just a bonus:
Sounds promising. 🙂 April not far off at all.
