I had never heard of her until last night. She’s definitely hot, too bad she has ugly tattoos.

Yeah, congrats on the new tattoo. It’s not really well done but I’ve certainly seen much worse. Overall not too bad, thanks for posting.

Welcome to the forum. I’m not a big fan of quote tattoos, to me they have little or no creative or aesthetic appeal. How boring is it to everytime you think of an important word you just get the word? Find an image that represents the words, it will look so much better than having a bunch of words and quotes on you.

I say another week or so to take a bath and another 2 weeks before being on the beach. Make sure u apply sunscreen to the tattoo.

What he said, generally a month after getting it.

Sounds normal, make sure you don’t overdo the lotion. Post pic if you’re really concerned but sounds like part of the healing process.

Wait until you put some time in as a fire fighter/ paramedic before you go with the tattoo otherwise you will be that guy you know the douche guy.

That’s interesting. My closest friend who I’ve known for almost 35 years and has been a fireman for almost 25 would definitely agree. He’s a tough son of a bitch who would say…[Read more]

Pretty nice collection overall, a few I don’t really like but nice. I’m a huge fan of Russ Abbott andthe pieces by Josh Woods jump right off the page.

Not bad, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately the worst one by far is the memorial tattoo.

Nicely done looks good. Do you work at an auto shop?

I love how you always notice all the little background stuff that noone else picks up on.

I was just thinking, why don’t you check out the amazing list of artists coming to the Paradise Tattoo Gathering in MA in Sep. There’s so many good, versatile artists you may be able to still get an appt. with. There’s actually a few from the northeast that could do this tattoo for you. The way you describe the piece it sounds like you need…[Read more]

How about Bill Vegas at Sacred in NY?

Who’s the artist?

I like it.

As good as he is, I also don’t think Shane does much freehand or custom stuff, he prefers to work directly from reference material. What are you looking to get, Caesar is really good as are the other artists at Booth’s shop Last Rite’s. I love Stefano’s work for realism.

Nice, I never heard of that artist in Milwaukee.

I should have specified NY city.

No knock to booth, but to me he isnt worth the 400/hr he charges. Shit no one is to me, except maybe shige or horiyoshi iii. I also dont like how he makes u sign your soul to the devil. I know its in good fun but still…

I agree, there’s no way I’d pay anyone $400/hr. I’m even very reluctant to pay the $200/hr that…[Read more]

I might be biased but I still think Shane O”Neill is one of the best B/G artists and I also like the guy who works with him, Steve Wimmer. Chris Adamek is pretty damn good too.

Something like that, I take it you guys have a bias towards colorful tattoos

I love B/G tattoos. I’m not real familiar with Asian work but there’s something about the head/face on your dragon I don’t like. Overall it’s a nice tattoo and looks well done.
