I get what you’re saying about going to different artists, I like doing the same although for smaller pieces. In my opinion since you’re talking about a multiple session backpiece I think accessibility is very important. Obviously all of the artists you posted are incredible so you can’t go wrong with any but if you don’t want this to drag on for…[Read more]

Who’s the artist?

Looks like it could use some background or something but for what it is it is well done. Congrats.

I’m confused, too. When you say noone around you will draw you something are you referring to tattoo artists? The process is…research and find a good artist, then bring your ideas to them and let them draw something for you and then get it tattooed. Why do you need an outsider to do the drawing?

Can you post any closeups of the areas you’re talking about? But it’s more likely an artist error than yours.

This looks like it would be hard to cover since it’s dark and expansive. One of the best cover artists occasionally visits this forum, his name is Tim Pangburn…look him up! If he can’t do it noone can.

This has serious potential.

I think a nice phoenix is a pretty good idea.

I like your wife’s tattoo. Simple, feminine, good placement and a nice way to represent your family. My bet is she gets another, it may take a while but I doubt she’s done.

Actually Leah, nobody called that tattoo shit.. her previous one was called shit, and for good reason.. it was horrible. As for rude and inconsiderate language, there barely wasn’t any of it in this thread.

What do you mean by healing cream? Please give specific examples.

I’m not a fan of script tattoos but that one looks good. I like the heart it kinda cool, The flower one doesn’t look to well done.

This pretty much sums up my opinions also.

its a brand new house so it should have new carpet, they just dont offer those new carpets in trailer parks huh?

I’m not fully sure what this means but I hope you understand my previous comment about the carpet was a joke, just feeding off of buttwheats “positive” remark. Don’t take things too seriously, we’re just…[Read more]

Congrats and good luck. Nice to see you’ve made the commitment and you’re going about things the right way.

OK I will say something positive.
That carpet looks real clean.

Actually I thought it looked unevenly cleaned and I really don’t like the use of color in that carpet. I think a more expensive carpet guy could have done a much better job with it. Definitely not one of the best carpets I’ve ever seen. 😀

I really can’t stand all the lazy text speak, abbreviations, emoticons, etc. even when texting. LOL drives me nuts! I also don’t really like the word tat, like buttwheat said it sounds kind of ghetto or trailer parkish. Maybe trivial but use the whole word tattoo, it’s really not that hard.

It’s up and down, seemed to be gettting better but it’s been real slow tonight.

I have what I think is a pretty nice pinup from Shane O’Neill in my album but I noticed this thread was started last June so I decided not to repost it.
