Well, here’s the deal man. Lower-back tattoos can be masculine as all hell. I know a few bikers with badass tattoos down that way, and it don’t make them look girly because they don’t whine about people thinking they look effeminate.

On the other hand, that tattoo does suck. The fill’s a little uneven in spots, and it…[Read more]

Hey everybody!

Thanks for the comments, all very appreciated! 🙂

My artist asked me to come in for a little touch up last weekend. It became a 1,5 hour session where he coloured the Hannya again, filled it up a bit better as he thought it looked a bit too pale. He also added some lines here and there, corrected some spots which didn’t heal up…[Read more]

Hey you guys. I have been thinking if a Koi… more specifically a Dragon Koi, would go well on the inside of my arm? But I´m not sure if it would fit well with the rest of the piece, with the front of the bicep being a bird on a treebranch… But I see some flowers around the Koi which might help blending these two together.

This may sound silly now but I’m not much interested in large back tattoos, therefore I wont be looking to do this in the future, I think my arms will be the way forward.

Dude… that is the same way I felt originally. Today I wouldn´t mind a large backpiece if funds allowed. Tattoos are addicting! And I did the same…[Read more]

I think the overall concept would look good, but what the hell are these things on the tribal??? They just look like random shapes, and don´t look very good.

I think you should have an artist work on this. A competent artist will definitely be able to do something with the concept. I think some flowers or something like that would look great…[Read more]

Thanks Matt

I´ll check that out 🙂

Anybody?…..

Dude! That looks awesome! I loooove japanese style. Can´t wait to see more 😀

Hi and welcome to the forum!

The right artist can do wonders with a coverup.

I just got this done a week ago. The bird is covering a pretty large tribal. The artist did an excellent job with covering it up without resorting to a too dark image.

Awesome! Congratulations 😀

A friend who is working on a full sleeve recommended that to me and I actually started using Helosan two days ago, and it does wonders! It is healing really nicely, I´ll probably be scab free this weekend. It´s basically just the heaviest scab which is left now.

To be honest there isn´t much of a story behind it per se. I had this ugly tribal on my arm which I got when I was 16 and have been wanting to cover it for a while.

I was thinking Japanese style and the artist said it would probably need to be a Koi. I was fine with that and had been looking at Koi tattoos up until my session. When I came in he…[Read more]

Holy crap! That is an ambitious piece of work you have there! Respect to you!

It looks awesome BTW 🙂

ArniVidar and Biker, check your pm´s 😉

Thanks you guys! I really appreciate your comments. You are right, I am so proud of this!

And Biker… I had this done here in Iceland, and paid in Icelandic Kronur. As you might know our currency is shit these days, so I don´t know if it would help you at all if you knew how much it cost… but I´d be happy to share it with you if you really w…[Read more]

I just don´t believe these tattoos are real, he must be messing with us. Looks like they are drawn with a pen!

stunning piece of work, specially in covering the trible piece you had… Kudos to the artist, and well done to you for such a long sitting….

Thanks! I am really surprised at how well he managed to cover that tribal up.

I am pretty proud of myself for the long sitting, but Thomas (the artist) was really thoughtful and…[Read more]

Thanks for the answers, but I asked around, and they don´t seem to have these brands here in Iceland.

I guess I´ll have to ask around here in Iceland to find an alternate if I need one.

Looks good man! Glad your happy with the tribal thing, I saw you posted in my thread that you just loooove them tribals 🙂

You might seein my thread I´m working on covering mine… well at least one of them. But that definitely looks good. I think tribals should accentuate the lines of the body and this definitely does that.

Looks cool man,…[Read more]
