Chances are if you’re getting a free tattoo it’s going to look like crap so I suggest getting it where noone can see it.

Yup, pretty sick for sure.

Fuck I saw the name and I thought it was treesixsuksdick. Not a slam on you dude just a troll on another site.

I’m actually surprised he hasn’t been here…yet.

But is it possible? What if i make it colored? Will the headdress covered the background of my existing tattoo? Thanks BTW

I don’t think that would work as a cover but I’m not an artist.

Yeah, be patient and don’t over moisturize. My reds were very slow to fully heal, too.

Buttwheat, are you dry healing your tattoos now where you’re not using any ointments or lotions or what? How’s that working for you, not too dry or cracking?

I would just carry on the skull theme to be honest. A dragon would just look out of place. Speak to your tattooist and see what he/she recommends, but i personally would stick to the skull/graveyard theme.

I definitely agree with this, I don’t think a dragon would fit with this. Maybe a snake and some roses or something but…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s cool as hell. Good location, goes real well on the pec. Are you happy with it?

I have a pretty big panther on my back that’s done pretty well but now that I know more and have seen other styles I think I would have had it done differently.

That came out nice, huh? At first I thought the guys in the boat looked weird but I went back and looked at the reference and it really looks good. If anything, there’s something about the end of the marlin’s pointy thing (whatever it’s called) that looks a bit off but overall I think she did a real nice job with the fish and water and the entire…[Read more]

Here’s a few from Deano Cook:

Oleg actually already emailed back saying he was thinking going vertical with the owl but it would be up to me, so I’ll have to figure that out. He also said he’d be able to tie the two pieces together with some background but didn’t get too specific.

try to get it done at paradise as i will most likely be there!!!

My girlfriend and I were just talking about that and even if I get the tattoo at the shop before Paradise, we’ll still likely drive up to the convention for a day just to walk around. She wants to go, too, and would rather not walk around by herself…[Read more]

Isn’t “model” code word for stripper sometimes? I went out with a chick that was a “model” well it took me a couple of weeks to figure out see “modeled” at a club called the landing strip.

Figures..the boyfriend is always the last to know.

That’s different, I like it too and it looks well done.

did you ask your artist what would look best? my opinion east/west is the way to go.

Actually, no, we didn’t talk about the direction. I originally wanted to do it on my calf but he didn’t like that due to the roundish shape of the owl head and vertical shape of the leg (which makes sense), so he suggested inside of…[Read more]

I have complete faith in the artist, that’s for sure. Like I said, I was just having a hard time at first picturing the owl on the inner arm but if I’m reading the comments correctly, you guys think it would look fine there. I think it’s the different directions of the tattoos I was considering, with the eagle north and south and the owl more east…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum. And I’m pretty sure buttwheat is getting work done at the Seattle show.

I ride a motorcycle and my arms get a lot of sun in the summer. I’ve been using Neutrogena 70 and it works pretty well.

Not only that, but in it’s current postion, it’ll be staring back at anyone who happens to be looking at your outstretched arm – generally the position your arm will be in for the tattoo to be visible.

Are you going for the eventual bird sleeve or half-sleeve, and if so – how would you tie them together?

Thanks for the…[Read more]
