tompatm and daddysgirl13 thanks for the pos feedback, I understand the other feedback though. It did turn out the way I wanted it to, and some other detail will be done at my next sitting. More is gonna be added under and around creating the half sleave I’m looking for. It was pretty awesome when I asked my 2 yr old granddaughter “who is that?”…[Read more]

That’s a much better image for your tattoo and something both of you would be very proud of.

Just got this done yesterday. My artist came up with a great idea for adding more off of her image going down my arm a bit, complete with mountains and water fall.

Here is another style of my wife that surprizingly my wife loves, as she actually doesn’t like tattoo’s 😀 I started to show her what I was trying to create, and she started giving her input with a big thumbs up when I showed her this picture with a Hawaiian hibiscus flower which is her favorite flower.

Or this

I don’t know about this one now either, as I have tried to invert colors, scetch etc and I just can’t get the definition I want from the pic of my wife inside the heart. I appreciate you feed back and advice on this, as better experience from you guy’s is worth a lot.

I have several other options for today, and one I’m giving my artist to work…[Read more]

Better safe than sorry. 🙂

The tattoo needs more lines and shading to look like something.

Thanks, going back to square one with some other options.

Thanks for the input and opinions, this is why I ask.

I have an idea for my next one, that changes what I had originally intended.

The person in the middle is my wife, and like several versions of the original version. I wouldn’t have the total color done, but have her head outlined like in the third pic. I’m still kicking this around a bit, for just what I am looking for.

I like tribal myself, as I have spent many trips over to Hawai’i and plan on making a move over their hopefully soon. So to me, it looks great.

I know the feeling, as its just been a bit over a week since my first one… now gonna start the continuation 😀

Oh you are going to love it. I miss the islands terribly, nothing will ever compare!

We have been there many times, just tired of the round trip and leaving paradise behind. Did you have to move because of military transfer?

Aloha, temp here in Montana and hope to be moving soon to BI on the Kailua-Kona side. So sad you had to move from the state of Aloha. You must miss living in paradise.

Aloha

I would rather see the art of a beautiful tattoo that can express a 1,000 words, than to see text that covers the canvas for additional art.

If you get a photobucket account (free BTW) it will give you the code for pasting to forum boards.

Looks good

Thanks, I have more planned to go along with the Makau (hawaiian fish hook) on both sides,…[Read more]
