I say upper arm for shape and fit. Unless there’s radical changes in your arm size it won’t be an issue. If you go for the back, I’d say upper and one side or the other, not the middle.

Linework looks very clean and consistent although a bit cluttered in places. You’re off to a great start.

Well, to each their own. As long as you’re pleased but to me it looks like an ink blot psychology test. I’m sure it will look MUCH better with better pictures though.

Yeah, what he said.

My guess is this thread is the perfect example of “if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all”.
Sorry dude, a lot of coverage and not very good work in general. And seriously, it’s bad enough to get a huge portrait of Kat von Nasty but to get a poorly done one really sucks. I’m curious what the artist said when you…[Read more]

I used a numbing spray on my last tattoo. It is used after the skin is broken so about an hour into the tattoo we started using it. Worked great I couldn’t feel anything except pressure.

Not bad, I’m not a big fan of the script or the face but overall it’s pretty good. Shading seems a bit weak on the inner arm but I might be being overly critical.

Those eyes are just sick! Loving it. And keep going in this direction dude.. that is SO much better than all that text.

…but don’t try to cram too much into it and incorporate too many elements, clutter isn’t good either. Definitely better than the text though.

Looks good, reef, I like it. Nice addition to the existing work.

So you want to get those three images side by side as your tattoo? I’m not really feeling the whole concept either but I have a feeling you’re going to get what you want anyway. I don’t like the cut off face, it just doesn’t look right to me. No offense but it seems like you’re putting way too much thought into this or actually trying to…[Read more]

Hi, welcome.

I’m not much of a fan of tattooing pain and misery on me. My ink is supposed to bring me happiness. I spend my life trying to get away from past miseries 🙂
Just a curious question here: Why get something so negative?

I agree. Unless of course the divorce was a positive thing?!

What took so long, I was waiting for something like that.

Real nice, love the style. Thanks for putting those up.

I agree with these comments. I like some script (not much) tattoos but as an addition to an image not freestanding. That being said, I have seen some really well…[Read more]

I didn’t notice any difference in pain. Mine was over a 3″ scar from a torn biceps tendon.

I’ve seen worse, I’ve seen better. Could’ve definitely been done better but congrats on the ink anyway.

I was tattooed over a scar and it went in fairly well. The main thing is that the scar has to be at least a few years old and extremely well healed. My artist said he wouldn’t have touched it otherwise.

Welcome, thanks for putting up some pics.

Nice to see you finally made it over here, flyangler. You should definitely rcognize a few of us although I’m using a different name.
