SO I thought id update you all on my cover up. I found an artist that had previous cover up experiance and when I showed him what I have and what I wanted he said no problem. I just got it done yesterday so its still dark as we all know happens at first and then heals a bit lighter. SO here it is…RIGHT after it was done.…[Read more]

I agree with you all but I also think its perception, like we are tattoo enthusiasts so we dont mind waiting, spending more and researching artists to get the best. But ask me about buying cars I will get the cheapest one that works and won’t give me many problems and get me to A to B…

Do a few laser sessions and get it covered with the design you want. Don’t make the same mistake twice.

I really like this one also. Great colors.

Welcome! Let’s see some pics of that ink. 🙂

I understand getting four cat portraits is certainly not something a lot of people would do, but cats have been and are a very big part of my life and I’m very proudly displaying that.

Good for you. I have 3 tats and all 3 are GSD (German Shepherd Dog) related. I didn’t plan it this way; it just sort of happened. S…[Read more]

I’d gladly sit for 12 hours to finish a piece off, but I wouldn’t dare let anyone do it if they were only charging me $400.

Whats everyone’s take on the roses? some of my buddies give me shit for me tryna get it lol idc it not gay and everything but what do you think?

If you like them, get them. Let the insecure homophobes worry about themselves.

I’ve seen guys who have been tattooing for 6 years who can’t do tats that clean so for 6 months I’d say your buddy is doing pretty well.

Welcome. 🙂

My issue with him is that he ripped off another artist’s work and claimed it as his own concept.

I think that it might be difficult to integrate the two, but it will be easier since it’s solid black rather than black and gray. I have a solid black tattoo on my left leg and have faced the same dilemma. At this point, I haven’t gotten any more ink there but when I do, my thinking was that I would get something with dark colors and a bit of…[Read more]

I read the entire post; I just disagree with some of the concepts, such as it being a poor utilization of space. It’s not poor utilization if there’s nothing else the individual would rather have.

Cool, I’ve been a fan of Lou Jacque’s since he was tattooing (with Luca) out of Transcend here in CT. I’m pretty sure the co-owner is also from Transcend. I remember Lou was really hard to book while he was here, I wonder if that’s changed.

It seems to be the same now. I tried to book him last year and never even got a…[Read more]

That’s really nice. It has great depth and a realistic component without being a photorealistic tattoo. It’s great that you allowed such a creative artist to add his spin on your concept. Congrats, man. Was this done at off the map?
