From what I’ve seen, sometimes it doesn’t even completely remove the tattoo. I’d hate to pay all that money and the tattoo not get completely removed, ya know?

Well the whole point of the lasering (at least as far as tattoo collecting goes) is to clean it up enough to make covering it up a breeze and get something new and…[Read more]

Why would the artists weight affect the tattooing time?

HAHAHA. He meant fast, not fat. Typo.

One piece of advice I have learned is not to skimp on price when it comes to a tattoo. It’s going to last longer than most material items you will ever own. And $150 per hour is a good price for a good artist. Here in Australia…[Read more]

1000? That’s outrageous.

You came on here seeking advise you were given good and solid advise now it’s your turn to either except the advise or go to the guy you first posted and pay $400 for a crappy tattoo or save some money and get a tattoo that makes everyone say holy shit that kicks ass brah. I look forward to your…[Read more]

No.. that’s cheap.

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.

Just because the bad example you posted looked like they messed up and made the girl look retarded. The ones I posted may lack depth, but the likeness is still in tact.[/quote]

Could they do a good job if I showed them the Frankenstein tat I want and said do exactly that? Not really looking to get a new take on it.

Let them draw it up with their take on it… you may be pleasantly surprised. I doubt seriously if any of those guys would just copy a picture of another tattoo.

The ones I posted are nowhere near as bad as the last one you posted. Not even close.

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…[Read more]

Explain what’s wrong with them. You really think they ALL suck?

It’s tough to take but butt is one of the reasons I went searching for a tattoo “artist” as opposed to a “tattooer”.

I owe him a beer at the very least!

Explain what’s wrong with them. You really think they ALL suck?

The second one down isn’t half bad doesn’t look like it is from the same tattooist but the beard looks like an after thought and very lazily applied.
Are you serious you can’t see that they are terrible?
