Ah yes, the parents…I just told my Mom, yesterday, about my new ink…she wasn’t pleased but did appreciate that I told her about it. Some things never change no matter how old you are, eh?:p

Yes very true!

Thanks Amok.

Do you have any tattoos, if so, would you consider adding a few to an album here on the forum?

I do, but they’re not finished yet. Don’t want to put unfinished work into an album. In a few weeks my first tattoo will be done and then I will upload it 🙂

Welcome to the forum!

I like your sleeves, nice traditional japanese work. There’s a few folk on this forum who don’t like japanese ink, I guess because its so common, but to me its one of the most beautiful styles.

First tattoo at 31 (I’m still 31 though). Will have 2 large tattoos finished this year, after that I’ll probably stop for a while.

My parent’s don’t even know about my tattoos and I don’t plan on telling them (they’ve both got serious heart conditions and I’m worried that I will kill them). They’re pretty traditional.

The samurai is not bad, the rest look pretty average to be honest. I’ve seen worse though.

Not a fan of foot tattoos, they just don’t look good there in my opinion. Same goes for hands and face/neck.

laugh out loud

That background completely ruins that picture. Why does it need a background? The mask is is very detailed and should work well on it’s own.

Oh, and Dimmu borgir is awesome 😀

Gotta agree with this, that mask will look even better without the background.

I don’t think your artist will mind if you bring that photo in and tell him or her you want something similar. Just don’t ask the artist to copy it exactly.

Oh man you’re getting Pink Floyd, tattoo, that’s fucking wicked!

I’d love to see a tattoo of the movie poster though.

hmm I like the idea but not sure it would look good.

How about a bunch of cascading ones and zeros, matrix style? I spose that’s less networking than an ip address though.

i dont agree with the above. whats wrong with getting a tattoo because it looks cool? would you get a crappy tattoo just because it has a meaning vs looking cool? to each their own i guess.

but anyways, i dont really thing there is a “meaning” behind biomech, other than its supposed to follow the contours of your body,…[Read more]

good start

Does he put teeth on Koi too?

jesus….looks like a fucking photo! that artist is insane

edit: yes i’m aware that the tattoo is probably from an old photo, and that it actually IS a photo of a tattoo, but… whatever

A lion is the obvious thing that comes to mind, but they’re pretty common.

If you like japanese tattoos, there’s plenty that represent what you’re after, again japanese is pretty common though.

Thats interesting the common thing so far seems to be we all know we will get tattood from a failry young age.

Not me, I never really thought about getting a tattoo until just before I turned 30. Spent 2 years thinking about it until I got my first. Still only have one but have booked in for my second. I don’t plan to have…[Read more]

Looks great man, congrats!

PS the itching will come!

Very nice work you have there, thanks for posting. Love the finished product.

I think that could look pretty strange from the back, it won’t make any sense to someone looking at you from behind. You will look like you’ve sat down on a freshly painted bench or something.

If you could re-design it so you can see the entire tattoo from one angle, it could be a lot better.
