Hi

BlueHsteve

I have been doing a lot of thinking and researching and I think one of the best portrait tattooists I can find is

Remis Tattoo

http://www.remistattoo.com/gallery/Tattoo/Black+and+grey/women_portrait_tattoo.jpg.html

They are based in Dublin and if my health holds out in the future I will def travel and have one done.

I have seen…[Read more]

Hi S.Neil

I have delved into the sewer of my mind and have come up with the answer from my swear tank.

Stroppy – to be fussy, whiney, picky, unreasonable, bad mood – you know a govt official

Tosser – Chokin the chicken, slapping the sausage, bishop bashing, taking Cpt Picard to warp speed, the five knuckle shuffle, the strangulation of one-eyed…[Read more]

Hi

Well both are correct it is a language techinicality the hebrew is Tehilim‎, which means praises collectively.

Psalm in english means to praise.

Psalms is praises (plural)

If you are having one psalm done which does not extend into another I would say use Psalm (singular).

If the psalm is part of a collective eg end of one and start of t…[Read more]

Hi

That is a solid old school piece I like them. The skull is great.

Hi Riderd

That piece is an easy 20 hours to get it right. The outline could be done in 6-8 hours no prob (my back piece was done in 6 from a predrawn stencil) but the time is consumed in fine detail and colouring or shading.

You simply cannot rush something like that (well you can but end up with shit ink).

I would say that for something like…[Read more]

Hi Cathy

It is a reasonably simply job – you need an artist to add some well placed white highlights along the edges and through the clouds to give them a bit more a ‘fluffy’ look.

I would also possibly reline the dragon in black so it looks bolder and have a trail of white leading off it like rising mist.

It is a very nice piece.

A few more pics

Full waterfall in now.

I will have some proper pics done when this bit is healed and my mate can shoot well with his camera.

Comments and constructive criticism always welcome. I am building the piece and tweaking as I go.

I was getting changed at work and the guy in there was screwing his face up and saying how awful it…[Read more]

Hi peeps

Here are some pics of the second sitting it is still bruised and swollen but is 6 days old now.
I have to say this was much tougher on me than the first sitting especially on the tiger. 😮

Me and the artist were discussing stripes (I said seen a few where they just don’t seem bold enough and shall we experiment) – he said that he can…[Read more]

Hi

What do you want your tattoo to represent in your cultural heritage?

Do you want something of a political or religious nature?

Or praying hands that instead of rosary have shattered manacles.

You could have some scripture on a scroll beneath which are placed some broken chains which represent the political and spiritual freedom of both…[Read more]

Hi

Sorry didn’t realise it was a slender leg as opposed to a muscular arm :p
You know I really oughta stop certain habits they are clouding my brain.

Still it looks great and to be worn with pride.

Not a worry.

Post up when you are done. Would love to see it.

Also have a great shabbat and do you intend to kick back over sukkot?

I am building a sukkah with a few friends – its always a case of beer, tears, and chuckles getting it made from scratch.

Hi

It is UV and UB light that affects ink as it breaks down the cells in the skin which in turn loosen the pockets of ink in your tattoo as the skin breaks down allowing the body to flush it away.

Only natural light or sunbeds can do this normal house lighting is fine.

Hi

It is looking very nice some close-ups for a better look at line work would be great.
Who is the artist?

Take Care
Matthew

it has a really cool sort of voodoo look to it.

Why not continue a kind of voodoo theme around it with maybe some old new orleans bar or some crazy bones and smoke and stuff.

Hi

Very nice piece of work you had done.

Hi

You could go for a mixture of jewels and sugar skulls.

Murder-flies (butterfly/moth with a womans had or a skull)

There is the aztec style or you could go for more deaths-head skulls.

I would personally redo the skull outline so it is bolder and more colour on the jewels.
