Now that I am the uber experienced old man with two whopping tattoos, that makes me the expert on tattoos. [chime in anytime you’d like]
With that out of the way, communicating my idea to the artist, and having that artist create a sketch, and then to skin twice now shows me the difference between the quality, originality, artistic impression, etc etc of the tattoo artist.
The “Eagle” (let’s not dredge up old crap on this – I’m just trying to make a point here :p ) with what I presented to the artist
Gunnar’s piece with what I presented to him
I’m not comparing the two tattoos or artists or knocking anything here. What Gunnar did with my idea = original. The Eagle looks like my wallet. I’m still happy with it, but it does show how important getting the right artist, who knows how to impart their artistic freedom on your skin, makes a difference.
Hey Metalman,
With my limited experience I think with adding shading highlights, and covering up the blue circle, it may turn out okeh. If it were on my arm I would have a squirrel ready to get eaten right in front of him. (I don’t like squirrels, as they eat all my English walnuts)
When I worked making and installing copper gutters and flashing I was refered to as the “metalman”
