If he lasers it to the point it is completely vanished…

I believe that is completely impossible 🙂

Glad to hear it 🙂
Good luck with finding an apprenticeship.

On the contrary. I started staring at he ink, but found it less pleasing than the canvas, so I switched to staring at that in stead 🙂

It may contrast a bit much at the moment, but in a couple of months when the text has gone down in color it’s going to look like it always belonged there.

It’s so faded right now that any fairly large piece would cover it up. If, however, you don’t want to go big right now, I would suggest getting it lasered a couple of times. It’ll almost completely vanish, and then you’ll have an even better idea of what you want and an easier job of covering it up.

Steampunk Koi.. not that’s not something you see every day! Very much looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

Absolutely gorgeous! Oh, and those tattoos are okay too.

Hey Fuzzy. All non-licensed tattooing discussions are forbidden in these forums, so you will get absolutely no answers to any such questions. Those are for your mentor to answer, not random people of the internet.

That’s CAPTAIN Obvious to you, Tigger! 😀

Oh lawd, that’s a dreadful tattoo.

Your new idea is great, but there are VERY few things that could actually cover those wings of yours. If you don’t want to end up with an even worse tattoo that’s twice as difficult to re-fix, you will need to find a PROPER tattoo artist that’s very good at doing cover-ups. From your description of the situation…[Read more]

How has this thread got to 4 pages and nobodys mentioned pulp fiction?

Guess most people just don’t think of it as their favorite movie 🙂

I am really torn on this one. On the one hand (no pun intended) the totem pole can stand proud without any backup. On the other hand, I like sleeves that are complete, not just on one side.

Where are you at in your apprenticeship?

From my reckoning, I’d say he’s just hitting his 11th month mark.
I doubt being this good in only a few months is normal. Must be some kind of freak :p

Welcome to the forum 🙂

So long story short…. yeah, I traced it.

Very well done. I’m a Disney nut, so I was wondering if you actually drew stuff like that from scratch 🙂

Did you draw Bob from scratch, or is it a trace job?

Sofia, Jason and Thomas are the ‘regulars’ at Reykjavik Ink, yes. They seem to rotate here quite regularly, probably because their $$’s are worth so much here so they can live well off not much mulah…[Read more]

I must admit, that baby is just killing me. The composition isn’t making any sense to me. For me, it looks like a baby’s head, sitting on top of some weird giant’s ice-cream cone or something. What’s that stuff to the sides of the baby, why is it tightly wrapped in a blankie or something, and where are it’s shoulders and arms? The body almost…[Read more]
