I started to dig down my old harddrive from -2004, and this appeared.

This picture… this tattoo.. it was my fucking life goal when I was 16. I wanted this when I reached 18. I even printed it out and hanged it on the wall.

*feels bad*

giddyup !

The Offspring – Americana (1998)

Next will be to grab some fillers from a convention when I’ve got the money. We’re buying a puppy, so won’t be this year.

About that girl David got for grabs, it won’t fit I think. First off it was drawn as a sleeve, and second; at this point it would be two girls on your back, so making something else flow with that would be hard.

That said… you should donate your back to Marius Meyer. He’d rock that negative space so hard.

This could easily be incorporated in to a stunning back piece 🙂

How about a Mexican themed back?

A landscape piece of the border with a pack of people crossing it?

@Pox: the one with the woman and the clock?

More specifically mixing genres in the same piece. Here’s a screen cap of the tattoo I was speaking of.

Yes, fuck yes! Something around that pool would be amazing.

Just say when.

Isn’t he kind of hiding out here in Norway now?
Suck on that Iceland!

That’s a style I like. Great colors and use of canvas!

Liking the lines, this should turn out to be good!

The reasons why it’s bad for you is;
1. It will turn brownish in few years / months even
2. This is a shortcut that crappy artists use since they have no idea how to use the skin for fade.
3. The tattoo will look bad since it’s lighter than you – the artist should have used your skin for this, by leaving the area blank.

Hey kids, this is why white ink is bad for you.

Thanks everyone for the advise. How long should I wait before making a final judgement?

I am really surprised as the inker is quite famous – can blowouts also be caused by skin issues?

Please, do share this superior artists name.

6 hours was tops… felt defiled after that. 5 is a good number, 4 even better!

This is from 2011

This is from 2013

I like the settings on the older camera better… now I look like this

It’s even more on the “top”. Some of it disappear, but not all. It can be fixed, but only if this is a creative artist. Byt the looks of it, he’s not under that category.

B/G tattoos are the only ones that looks good when healed. Color fades so hard… *cries a bit*
