Oh crap I just actually read what you wrote instead of just looking at the pretty pictures.
yes an underwater theme is pretty common so I wouldn’t be pissed about that I would be pissed that it you pick the wrong tattooist at that shop.

Yeah im upset about that, but his portfolio and the work he usually does is mainly…[Read more]

I know an underwater scene is quite common, I think I’m just looking at the more subtle things like the color, having two different blues in the same swooping action. The bubbles, the sea horse, and the red fish. I mean there are a lot more fish in the sea, sorry that just came out like that, that could have been used. Oh well I will just take it…[Read more]

Geeze its been over a year since I have been back in the chair. I went in yesterday and set up an appointment for May 20th, was the first thing he had. Hopefully work doesnt send me back to South Korea around that time and I can get a couple hours in again. Would love to have this thing done before the end of the year! I will update with pics when…[Read more]

Thanks for the info guys, Russ does some great stuff. Ill look into who you suggested CT. Im not really looking for a new school piece i just like how the new school artists really seem to bring out bright colors in everything.

No link to video but i enjoy Mudvayne’s cover of King of Pain.

That is true. Ok thank you for giving me your opinion.

I read that as “Im ignoring what you said because your comment was mean” HAHA

I go to Tattooagogo on Magazine street. Donn Davis is who is doing my sleeve. TJ is also a great artist. I am nothing but happy with my choice to go there. Check him out.

You can’t be serious. The tattoo community is honestly filled with the most ignorant people I’ve ever encountered..holy fucking shit I’m not even kidding.

You know who actually has valid points? Real tattoo artists I meet in person who don’t know anything about me besides what I tell them. Not a bunch of middle-aged men that…

Ill ask from an “artistic point of view, since i dont know you”. What exactly were you trying to provide by adding the fire and smoke and lightning, I guess its not smoke…sorry…clouds? That has nothing to do with the bible scripture which i guess is supposed to be Joel 2:25-26? It really seems to muddy things up. Also why the fire on the…[Read more]

I wore a shirt just to keep from getting ink on anything. If you wear a loose fitting long sleeve cotton tee it will breathe just fine. When im asleep i have no idea what crazy things my arm is doing i could end up with it across my forehead.

I put a little ointment on it and wore a long sleeve cotton shirt. No troubles.

Looks great! I like the idea you had to fill in the inside, think it looks awesome!

Looks good, ive been lurking your posts waiting on you to actually get the ink laid down. I like it. I at one time pondered doing something like a totem pole but with Tiki masks, i was going to have the mask wrap around my arm the entire way as to have it seem to be wood all the way around. None the less, I like this and cant wait to see some color.

That sure does sound like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag. What i mean by that is your trying to put a whole lot into not a very large space. I dont see how your going to put that quote in it without it being very small and nearly illegible (SP)?

Mine kept it at a month or so gap. Said that would give it enough time to heal to where he felt comfortable getting back at it.

And I just googled clock faces using IIII and it does seem common practice. Learn something new everyday.

I was given a painting to turn into a tattoo by the client. The original reads IIII. I didn’t want to deviate because that might be some special part of the painting. I don’t know. I just make tattoos.

No worries, please don’t take it as I was bashing I just noticed it and pointing it out. Looks great I appreciate any…[Read more]

Looks good, but I see a mistake in the numbers. 4 is wrote out as IV in roman numerals as I can only be grouped into 3.

You’ll have plenty of summers to have it. Wait and do your research and it will be something that you continue to want to show off each summer. Good luck and keep updates.
