I think that really well done B&G can look amazing next to colour work, but poorly done B&G will just look unfinished. So, like every question here, the answer is to find the right artist.

I love my colour tattoos, but when I see exquisite B&G it almost makes me wish that I didn’t start out with all this colour. And the B&G with a hint of…[Read more]

It’s looking good already, can’t wait to see it finished. 😎

I am guessing that you are pretty pleased with it. Enjoy.

I also don’t think that the UV ink is very long lasting, from the little that I have read about it.

It seems like people are getting it because they want to get a cool ‘OH MY God, look at that tattoo’ kind of a tattoo. Except the UV can only be seen under uv lights, so they would just have to tell people how awesome their tattoo is.

Welcome (back) to the forum.

Have you talked to any tattoo artists about your idea? I think you need to find a great artist that excels in the style you want and then discuss the project with them. Check out the artists on Peter’s brag list – their might be one in your area (or within a day’s drive).

Welcome to the forum!

I agree with the others, really cute tattoo. Sorry about the blow-out.

Wow. Very nice!!

No worries, yodaddy. Like I said, my fault for reading the thread. I had known she would win from the start. Way better then the other contestants.

Now my prediction for winner of Season 3 of Ink Master: gotta go with Jime Litwalk. 🙂

Go for it just make sure you go to a great tattooist

Find one who loves to do bio-mech and discuss it with them. They are the only ones who can tell you how much to expect to pay.

And ALWAYS remember: Good tattoos aren’t cheap, and cheap tattoos aren’t good.

Hi Nate, and welcome to the board.

Tons of great ideas to be found here. And a few idiotic ones. Feel free to choose from either side. 😉

Welcome to the forum.

The only time a tattoo ‘has’ to have meaning is if they are filming the process for a ‘reality’ show. Worry less about meaning and more about the fact that the image will be on you until you die. For the rest of your life. Every single day. So take you time and don’t get the tattoo ‘just to get one’. Get an image that…[Read more]

Welcome aboard. How are things in Cow-town? 😉

As she should have.

But you just blew the ending for me! I have been watching it on another station that is always a week behind. My fault for looking at the thread, I guess. Although it was pretty clear from the beginning who would win.…[Read more]

How does this guys work seem?

No. His work is very flat – has no depth to it at all.

Could you explain what you find is wrong with gspottattoo? I mean, they don’t seem terrible to me, they just seem like regular tattoos…

That is exactly the problem – the best of the ones that they are showing are just ok. Others aren’t very good at all (like the koala, for instance). You should be looking for…[Read more]
