As for the placement, if I put it on my inner bicep should I “flip” the image so that when I stretch my arms out, Bebop would be facing right side up? Or place it like my other two? I feel like if I do it like the other two in that particular spot it’ll be hard to see/tell what it is.

That healed beautifully. Maybe a little more highlights and darker, thicker outlines could of been done more-so in the fingers of Freddy’s glove to make it more appealing and give off the dimension of Jason’s mask actually sitting in the glove rather than blending in with the rest of the tattoo but that’s nitpicking.…

I was thinking it was to dark hiding the contrast. I was thinking maybe he tattooed it that way so it would look better healed .

Been a couple months. There it is healed. I actually liked it WAY more fresh with all the black as opposed to now with all the light grey. 🙁

What do you guys think?

If you’re happy with it, that’s all that matters. I don’t think you’re going to find the validation you’re after here, it’s down to you whether you like it or whether to get it lasered off and start again.
As for whether it looks better, the annoying green mark has been covered but it looks as if he has some weird, long…

To the OP this is done very poorly. Do not go back to the same tattooist no matter if it is free. Find a much better tattooist and have them fix it.

Just wanted to update this story. I ended up going back to the same shop to get it redone (by a different guy). The guy who did it was no longer working there and…[Read more]

Yes I meany fast not fat butt Iker is plenty fat..

I would go with Bob Tyrell but since that isn’t likely I would go with which of the two artist that feel more pumped to do that tattoo for you. I would much rather go to someone that really wants to do my tattoo then someone who is just making a buck off of it.

I can’t…[Read more]

Butt, you’re familiar with both artists, who do you think would do a better job, Pete or Steve?

I’m glad you have followed the advice of seeking out the better artists.
Every artist works at different speeds but I would say on average it would be about 5 hours. Bob Tyrell would take about 10 hours to do it compared to someone fat like Iker Ruiz that it would be about 2 hours.

Why would the artists weight affect the…[Read more]

Wow great feedback….

I’ve since gotten another email, they said its hard to tell how long it’ll take. All she said was the max price on it would be 900

Bump……

Emailed to get a price check. Was told Tye no longer works there and he moved to Texas. Sooo…still looking for an artist. Ideas?

1000? That’s outrageous.

How much should I expect to pay? 500…?

Is he actually working there full time or a guest artist that will only be there a few weeks? I looked at his work it’s really good. He did a Frankenstein but I don’t like it…I cant tell if he used a different photo to do a portrait of or if it’s just his spin on the image I want.

Butt, go look and see if you think he did a portrait of a…[Read more]

Well give me some suggestions man. I know you’ve suggested black13, but going through their work on their website I don’t but like 1 or 2 realistic looking portraits, the rest look like cartoon versions. Plus someone on the page before this said he doubts anyone there would do the Frankebstein the way I want it done (as it is originally pictured).…[Read more]

Can you tell me why? see it’s hard to explain but you no shit when you see it.

You could try Black 13 Tattoo Marty, TimmyB , or Josh would knock the fuck out of that if you would allow them to do their own take on it and then your walking around with an original tattoo not one that thousands and thousands of people…

I’m in western KY. Willing to travel 3 hours in any direction. Any suggestions anyone?

If you’re hell bent on using that artist, then use him! but, it seems a bit pointless asking for advice if you won’t take it!

I agree with the above, they’re crap.
Have a google of “david Corden” and “Nikko Hurtardo” to see the sort of thing you should be aiming for then post your location and ask for recommendations.
Or, use…

Why are you fighting me on this? I’m trying to help you from getting a shitty tattoo.
