Overall pretty good. Not the best I’ve seen but that’s ok, most of his work is solid and much better than what you’ve been getting.
And to answer the question about David Corden:

And if you’re near London, this place is amazing for traditional stuff:

Agreed – that is a fine anchor tattoo! Very detailed – I like it!

Thanks, and I’m certainly not trying to compare because they’re different styles and I really like yours as well. How’s it healing, being on the foot and all?

Was the tattoo done in a shop or your friends house? Is he a professional tattoo artist or a scratcher?

I just said the same thing in another thread but to me there’s no excuse to receive and accept crappy tattoos and it frustrates me. There’s too many good tattoo artists out there to continue getting amateurish looking tattoos over and over. Some of my tattoos have deep meaning, also, and that’s why I made sure to do an ounce of research to find a…[Read more]

C’mon, there’s really no reason to accept shoddy work. There are too many good tattoo artists out there to get something like this. Let’s face it, this tattoo is very poorly done and you shouldn’t make excuses such as you like that it’s messy and your shoulder is bent. I really wonder if this was even done by a professional artist in a shop…[Read more]

…btw, im thinking of adding some new sentences to my tattoo, like “Remember Remember, the 5th of November” and things like that. whats your offer? 🙂

Don’t over clutter and ruin this tattoo by adding a bunch more text. I don’t understand why people sometimes feel the need to write a damn paragraph next to their tattoos.…[Read more]

Interesting. I don’t think the quote fits at all and just doesn’t belong.

I just looked through her portfolio and I saw another one (green dragon) which she also stole from Oleg. He and I emailed for a while about the tattoo he was going to do for me and seemed cool as hell. i just emailed him and told him some bitch is laying claim to his work.

I love old school tattoos. This one is just poorly done, it’s got nothing to do with the style. The linework isn’t good, the shading is weak and the arrow doesn’t line up properly. I don’t know if you keep going to the same artist because he’s a friend but he’s not a good tattoo artist. I would love to make fun of the whole name thing but this…[Read more]

the work above is by Oleg Turyanskiy from Russia, and he’s a ‘he’, not a ‘she’.
so definitely whoever this artist you dealt with needs to be taught a lesson… stealing is a crime you know?

pls share/post the name/website of the bitch please

Oleg is amazing so at least if you’re going to steal, do it from a great artist.…[Read more]

I also like Kyle Cotterman in Ohio

Look.. there are two things possible right now.

1.) You are a scratcher, and you don’t know how to shade your piece and are looking for help with that.
– We will not help with that.

2.) Your tattooist is stupid, lazy or incompetent.
– We can not help with that.

Nobody, and I mean this, NOBODY brings their tattooist…[Read more]

Look forward to seeing this one, anyone at that shop would be excellent.

… So, you think I should ask some other artists about what can be done?

Yeah I’d say so although some artists might be reluctant to touch someone else’s work. I just don’t see how it would make sense to go to the same artist who screwed it up in the first place and trust them to make it better. It’s not just the…[Read more]

I’d like to see a picture of your other tattoo because this one is bad in so many ways. Let it heal and see what happens but it looks like the issues have nothing to do with healing. It’s hard to correct horrible lines without thickening them ( I’m pretty sure) but the shading can be improved by a better artist. The larger rose is terrible and I’m…[Read more]

I may be partial but i think my anchor is pretty good, too, although there’s more to it.

That’s insane. I’ve had 2 people pass out on me in seven years.

My gf almost passed out after only a few minutes. They had to stop and the artist gave her a popsicle for sugar and she was fine the rest of the way.

Welcome, I’m from CT and spent the day on L.I. just the other day. The pics aren’t showing.

That’s not bad, the cat could’ve been done a little better but overall pretty good.

That’s a nice looking tattoo, I sure hope it holds up being on your foot. Who is the artist? Thanks for sharing, congrats on the piece.
