I think Erick Lynch at Redemption is a very good tattoo artist, but like the above said it’s mostly traditional.

Like I’ve said before i relise some of the talent out there and my tattoo’s could of been done a lot better. But I’ve finally relised and found a closer better studio where a lot of people on the forum said that the artist is a very good artist and i’ve got so many tattoo’s planned with him in the future.

But as far as my…[Read more]

Adler you must admit man, Cartmen is pretty awesome! haha. All depends on people’s personalities i think as well. 😀

To be honest I haven’t watched south park in many years, I just don’t find it funny anymore…just like Howard Stern. I think the tattoo itself isn’t horrible but no, I’m not a big Cartman fan. But you’re…[Read more]

I actually had never heard of that movie or seen that character so I thought it was a strange concept for a portrait tattoo. I agree it is well done although after looking at the shop website there is definitely some incinsistency in the artists’ work. I think their black and grey portraits are average at best.

If your thinking of a tattoo to get, you should get “White boy” on the side of your finger

Only cool people get it

That or Cartman! 😀

This whole tattoo idea sucks. What kind of an immature jackass would get a pot leaf tatoo anywhere, let alone on the bottom of a foot. Grow up.

Oh no…don’t give Wardy anymore brilliant tattoo ideas.

Yeah some self-absorbed emo roid freak that died a little while ago.
There’s a million shops in NY, do some research and post some links and we’ll tell you who’s good and who’s not.

Don’t want to hijack the thread but I’m anxious to hear about your trip.

Umh.. that bird IS Tribal :p

Umh…that’s why I said to do it in a realistic style.

The trbal and kanji is a terrible idea. I actually like the bird but shrink it and put it on the back of your shoulder or upper arm in a realistic style. Forget all your tribal ideas.

I would let you do that horseshoe/rose tattoo on me. Good shit.

Yeah, me too. That one is really nice. Simple but nice.

I don’t know I guess I’d have to see better examples, but in my personal opinion as a male I think a smaller tattoo in that region is sexier (although the one in that picture isn’t looking too bad).

I wouldn’t not use red just because there were previous issues if the piece called for it.

I think people when it comes to discussing tattoo’s have extremely high standards and compare all artists to people like “Jeff Gogue” “Cecil Porter” well you see where im going….

A lot of tattoo artists are better than others but we should set the rating as high as the greats of tattooing. I know a lot of you will say “your…[Read more]

Do my Clint Eastwood bitch :p;)

What are you expecting him to do? For a portrait tattoo you don’t need a sketch like maybe you would for something else. All you need is to bring the picture of Clint that you want tattooed to a GOOD portrait artist and they will trace the design and make a stencil from the picture. For a…[Read more]

Lightning can be tattooed nicely but it won’t look quite as realistic as the picture but besides that the amount of space you want to dedicate to this is ridiculous and will look foolish. You don’t have any tattoos and you want to start on your neck? Not smart. Plus you want this to extend all the way down to your abs? This whole idea basically…[Read more]

Nice tattoos, I like that style also. Where’s Colchester?

I’ll be honest, I don’t like this too much. I think many of the lines are too bold and inconsistent, especially at the top of the skull. It also looks like I see alot of blownout lines although maybe just because it’s new. I aslo don’t really like the shape of the mouth and the lines on the side extend out too far. To me, I also think the eyes are…[Read more]
