If you don’t appreciate flash then you don’t deserve tattoos.

What an asinine comment. Flash are simplistic, mass-produced designs often requiring little talent on the part of the artist. If someone likes a flash design, that’s fine for them, but they’re not my thing. Putting that aside for a second, you don’t get to…[Read more]

I just don’t see the visual appeal in script or Nautical stars. Nautical stars also show no originality; they’re flash.

Now as for little tattoos in general, I don’t dislike them at all. I just personally prefer larger pieces or smaller pieces that can be tied together in a visually appealing way. Now if you were going to get all smaller color…[Read more]

Probably a good choice. Which artists are you looking at?

I’ve got a spot booked with Shane O’Neill in the spring and then I’m planning something bigger with Caesar in the first half of year. Caesar is working on some incredible stuff that isn’t in his portfolio yet and after seeing it, I really want to provide him with…[Read more]

Panter, mrchen, & Wardy,

Thanks for the feedback – much appreciated. Anyway, I’m supposed to work that day anyway and although I probably could have worked it out, I decided to skip out on it. I did like the image and 3 weeks ago when I first suggested it, I wanted to get it done. Since then though, I had a consult with an artist and his…[Read more]

Where is Butcher located?

Chelmsford, Essex

Sticking with my Jason Butcher recommendation for B&G. 🙂

In some areas, I’m not bothered, whereas in others the pain is pretty damn unpleasant. Regardless of the pain though, I find myself wanting more ink. I’m constantly planning future pieces, researching artists, etc. Even if I’m sitting in the chair thinkng “fuck that hurts!”, at the same time I’m excited to see the finished piece. I think I…[Read more]

Just out of curiosity what are you planning on getting on your penis?

Welcome and good luck with your first. Do post pics once its done. 🙂

Personally, my problem is not with the fact that they are not in a shop, but rather that they pose a considerable health risk to every person they ink. How many scratchers are actually certified in handling bloodborne pathogens? 1 in a million. I think that someone that shows this little regard for others deserves all the shit they get.

From…[Read more]

Nothing immediately comes to mind. You can always hit the artist up for ideas if nothing comes to you.

There are an unlimited number of ways you could go with this one. You could do something with a tiger or lion, from a B&G portrait to Japanese style. You could do something related to mythology (e.g. Perseus, renowned for his courage). You could do something cliched like Kanji or an Iron Cross. Since you already stated that this will be your…[Read more]

Nothing wrong with that bro, good on you for keeping the family business going I reckon.

I agree. One of my m8s from high school inherited his father’s custom shirt shop in New York City (all he had to do was graduate college). SoB is clearing over $1 mil a year now and regularly posting pics of the celebs that come into…[Read more]

Looks good man. Considering how long you’ve been at this, I think you’re ahead of the game.

You can’t not do something you really want to do just because your parents might not agree. They can’t expect there kid’s to be the exact same as they are. My dad really doesn’t like tattoo but he’s learnt to accept them.

I wasn’t saying that at all. At that age, we all act impulsively and although you don’t believe it, the…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum 🙂 When you are 18 it has nothing to do with your parents. My dad despises tattoo’s but he can fuck off if he think’s im not doing stuff because he doesn’t like it 🙂

Don’t let anybody put you off, you don’t need to ask for permission just get it done matey 🙂

Well, waiting until he’s 18 will at least…[Read more]

Looks good. If you see my biological dad while you’re down there, tell that bitch I don’t care what mom says, I want the child support she rejected for 18 years. 😀

Deja vu all over again.

Vince is on my short-list for a color piece I want to get done on my calf. I thought his wait was much longer tbh.
