Here’s a few more, not sure how it works geographically but most of these are in Indiana. But without a doubt if you’re looking for a big, quality tattoo you’ve got to try to get with…[Read more]

Off the top of my head I think Larry Brogan in Illinois but there’s probably more.

HEY! NEW BOY!

Don’t go about bashing people you know nothing about on your first day. It’s all a very convoluted and long standing inside joke, which you couldn’t possibly know about since you just joined. Cool your rudeness and chillax!

Nice post but did you just use the words “convoluted” and “chillax” in the same…[Read more]

Looks like I’m almost there finding the artist. Man, one must be patient when being really picky with an artist choice. I’m down to two, which is part of my dilemna.

Gunnar Gaylord thinks the piece would be fun to do, meaning to me he would take me as a client. He says he doesn’t travel much (no problem for me to go to…[Read more]

An elbow spider web is kind of lame and played out and definitely not my thing but as we say…as long as you like it.

I didn’t see as much drama but as usual I didn’t see enough of the tattoos. Granted, they looked closely at a couple of tattoos for critique but the viewer barely had a chance to see the finished tattoos of most of the artists. The show didn’t do much for me.

Nothing wrong here, so it was probably on your end 🙂

The picture was just a standard ass-out, chest-forward, top pulled up to expose half of a breast mirror pose. Nothing to write home about.

Yeah when I first heard about it I got excited because Shane O’Neill is supposed to be on it and I have a tattoo from him. But Dave Navarro hosting? He’s a douche and will help ruin it along with the incompetent artist and likely drama. I’ll watch but I’ve lost interest and I’m not expecting much…I’ll have to hold out unitl NY Ink on Thurs! :rolleyes:

Honestly it loooks like all their artists are pretty good. Rich stood out to me a little more than the others.

Can’t wait to see the pics…I really like alot of the work on their site.

What he said. (What do you ride?)

Location won’t really matter too much, if you have it done in solid black it will look like a blob no matter where it is. No offense but for something you’ve been thinking of for 3 years I would think you could come up with a more creative design, at least let a competent artist do something with it to make it more “tattooable.”

…And the artist is?

Very cool design and excellent execution. Congrats.

Thanks again, The Artist is Phil Young, Hope Gallery in New Haven Conn.

The thing is I was really pumped about having colors. I am not totally set on roses but I definately want color.. Maybe I should re think my strategy a bit..?

i think the problem is that, because you have such lovely photo real portraits if you start adding traditional style roses they might overpower the image a bit, a lot of portraits with florals that i have seen are usually bright colour portraits or traditional style portraits, would you consider a different kind of…[Read more]

Sounds fine as long as there is no reaction. It’s actually hard to find a fragrance-free, anti-bacterial soap…at least in my experience I can’t find any.

That’s amazing, would expect nothing less from a guy like O’Neill.

Are you just looking for tattoo examples to show your dad? You don’t want to use someone else’s tattoo as a primary reference source with a tattoo artist. Why don’t you just google “tin man” and not “tiin man tattoos,” and bring pictures of that and not the tattoos to an artist. If you bring a pic of someone else’s tattoo as reference make sure…[Read more]

If you want to keep a more traditional look then go with color, although you could also keep the mic b/g and color the roses.

Listen, I know we’re being tough on you but believe it or not we just really don’t want you or anyone else to end up with a shitty tattoo, and that’s what happens when kids decide to get tattoos at such a young age. If you look through our albums you’ll see most of us have nice tattoos and we know what we’re talking about. Thinking about this for…[Read more]
