Hi

In total agreement something that complex with a full family crest would need a full chest or back otherwise it will become cramped and end up looking like a blobby mess.

Have you considered having a tree trunk cut so the face (where the rings are) is showing and having the family motto carved into wood?

Would take up less room.

Hi

You can have them covered but would mean the eyes would have to be much bigger and a solid use of colour.

You can always get a hankerchief across with a humourous msg and the eyes above.

Made me chuckle anyhow.

Hi

Tell him to jog on

I have come from a family that all had gang/family affiliated tattoos and I refused because as far as I am concerned the first thing that happens is

1. The police know who to pick on even if you are not doing anything wrong.

2. The public are not dumb and will know/suspect it is gang related and won’t want to deal with…[Read more]

Hi and welcome

To translate the tree to tattoo (which will work very nicely) you will need to enlarge the leaves to stop them from becoming ink blobs in years to come.

Also that piece will not sit well on an arm – unless you have huge arms – as it will look tribal-esque in appearance.

Hi Joker

Once it is healed it is locked beneath the epidermis so you can shave over it no prob as you would need to dig down into the dermis to damage it – like majorly cut yourself.

To be honest there is nothing that you can take that will not put you at (some) risk for tattoo painkilling. I spent many months researching the effects of various drugs whilst people…[Read more]

I am from Leeds here but know Donnie quite well.

Hi and welcome.

Some great ink and designs.
All your own work? They are excellent concepts.

Which tattoo artist is doing it?

Hi

It really depends on the design you could do it as a set price or as a job by the hour.

I would say have a look at similar graphic design qoutes if you intend to charge or work out something with the customer.

You can always barter.
