Oh yes. I used a too thick pen for the web, and I sketched on ‘bigger’ wings and some other few things to get it right, or to see how it would look.
So that one is a mess, but gives me some idea how to fill it. I’m not an artist, so it’s just for ideas.

I recieved a sketch from the artist now!

Oh, I can’t wait!

First

With filler. (later)

So, I’ve spoken with my artist again. I live around 2 hours away with train, so he will make some sketches out from my ideas, and send them to me on email/phone so we can plan how it should look.
And I’ve got a whole day (11-19) for doing this now. 18th May, a wednesday!

I’ll throw in two of my latest sketches which I’m most happy with. (in a…[Read more]

Maybe he liked the tattoo and didn’t want to change anything?

Let Tim do this. Not some newbie that got permition to touch human skin with a needle for 3 years ago.
They can’t do cover-ups, it’s way to complicated.

Got to love then razors. 😀

He might be a great artist, but for portraits, I don’t really see any ‘good’ work there.

You could find someone better, depending how much you have to spend on this.

Panburn looks like he’s a cover-up wizard. I envy his skills badly.

How much time do you think it will take to finish this tattoo?
It’s going to have colors.

Adding a updated picture, with thinner lines so it’s easier to see how it’ll turn out. (It’s a bit crooked.)

And I thought Ed Gein was dead.

Is there any rule against naming the artists of work like this?
People with awesome tattoos give links to their artists all the time, so why not in these cases? hm?

And for the topic. Don’t go back to this guy. I’ve read stories like this way so many times.
Someone gets a crappy tattoo, and they go back to the same artist to get it fixed. He…[Read more]

I’m planning on getting my first tattoo shortly, the advice that I received from someone was to bring your iPod and just listen to music loudly so you don’t hear the machine. Supposedly it helps to not think about it…

Durrr, isn’t it better to have somewhat contact with your artist while he’s working on you?

All pain you get from taking a piercing is over in a jiff, but I count the moment when the needle is breaking through and is out. When it’s in there, it’s kind of good.

So my 10 on septum is because, 1. the crack I felt when it pushed through 2. the needle got a loger way to clear, so it hurts a bit more.

Septum is a 10.
Noseflip is a 4.

You are correct sir. 😀

Aussie_Al: Let’s hope my body agrees to that. 😉

It sure beats a tribal. 😉

I like the idea, and the tattoo looks great!

Sure! Here it is.

I’m skinnier than what the sketch-body assumes.
So the plan is to have the heart further down, and wings going more up. And a do want an eye in the middle of the heart.
Also, I’ve just added some more on the wings in a hurry, just to remind myself on that they’re supposed to build more up + they doesn’t look any good on the…[Read more]

As WardyInk said, people have different thresholds for pain. People also have different thresholds for different types of pain. Also, some artists are more heavy-handed than others.
