Hi James

Welcome to the forum

Did you know that per head of population NZ has the most tattooed people out of any country in the world?

Looks great man

How long did that take?

Hi Jonas

nice introduction

Welcome to the forums and I look forward to reading your posts! 🙂

Oli Sykes from BMTH is about 20 years younger than me and probably has more ink then me! (WTF)

great job – how many hours do you reckon all told for that beauty??

Looks great! I have an owl tattoo as well – but nothing like that

PS: good to see ya back on here!

I wouldn’t go anywhere near that with small tattoos right now, it really pops as it is and a bunch of small tattoos will take away from it

great work too BTW!

What about your inner bicep?

Al

PS: Yeah I can easily see you getting half sleeves ..:D

Its a nice design – I would have the artist add color and shading

Great photo!

Its always good to hear when you meet someone from TV and they are not a dick! 😀

They are the professional, you are the collector – I cannot tell you the amount of times I have had some ideas in my head and my tattoo artist has suggested something that makes much more sense than anything I would of thought…[Read more]

I have been getting tattooed for over 25 years now and I still have not done my face neck or hands and I still have plenty of spots (ok , painful ones left on my body)

These days you see kids of 18 with full throat tattoos and hand tattoos, who then start working on their arms, not too smart if you ask me

That said with this woman I think its…[Read more]

Why not take the idea to a trained tattoo artist and have him draw it for you?

So many times I have had an idea of what I wanted and taken it to a great artist and they will make it 10 times better than what I had originally perceived the art as

Ever seen the old style subway tokens?

Would the nyc fit in the smallest?

Great song one of my favorite Skynyrd songs ,what about something with a rebel flag and an American eagle?

Personally I would not have it under the text, it would get too messy

But that’s just my 2 cents

Looks great, for some reason and I am not saying it in a bad way as I love the Bones brigade but it does remind me a lil of this

Thats a great story bro!

Fantastic ink too

Worst thing you could do is expose an not permanently healed tattoo to the sun

Wear along sleeve t-shirt if you have to

thats great – when I left Australia it still had that only bikers and cons had tattoo sort of sentimentality
