Oh, and welcome, and thanks for posting pics! We’re a pretty critical bunch here, but it doesn’t really mean your ink is bad, just us giving opinions!

Yeah, I have even more respect for him now than before! 😀 It’s a difficult skill to even begin to learn. It’ll probably be a couple months before I have anything worth posting, but I’m practicing every day!

Maybe seeing an overview of the sleeve will help.

There are puzzle pieces, three of them, floating from the forearm, and around the wrist from or to the banner. The banner is ‘complete’ near the top and then starts to break away into pieces of a puzzle near the bottom and then then the free floating puzzle pieces…[Read more]

Wow you guys brutilised this tattoo. The lines aren’t great but it does look like a tattoo that could easily go bad. It could be recoverable with a good artist finishing it up with great colour work.
Some of the lines look alright to good but some of them particularly around the top of the guitar are real…[Read more]

From a more technical standpoint, this is full circle back to centralized computing – which is what the so-called “micro-computer revolution” was supposed to do away with.

Oh, also, they would be able to give you advice on placement and the wear of the area you were considering. I personally haven’t seen any foot tattoos that looked clean and sharp after a couple years, but touch ups are pretty much a part of the whole deal. I’m no expert, though. Like I said, those guys should be able to help you out.

Hey, Thaela. That is definitely a quality shop. I don’t see a huge difference between Chase’s work and that of Mike or Matt, so I wouldn’t wait around for him if the others were available. Anyway, if the place looks clean and you are comfortable with the people there, I say you’ve got a winner!

That is some great ink, though!

Soak it in rubbing alcohol for at least an hour. Do this 6 times a day for 3 or 4 days. Go do it now the sooner the better.

And on the fourth day, you’ll have a nice pickle!

Sure! Thanks for posting pics! ( A little pet peeve of mine). 😉

How new is it?

Dude, STOP IT! You’re gonna make me pee my pants!

lol I have seen Henna that was a more serious problem than that! :p Seriously, that is so light and shallow it will probably be just a blue blur before too long, and it’s easily covered up. Don’t be mad at your friend, there’s nothing life scarring there that I see. Chalk it up to experience and pay 50 to 75 bucks to get it covered with something…[Read more]

You’re a girl after my own heart, Ig. My favorite work is always b&g with a bit of color skillfully laid in. Again, it takes an awesome artist with an impeccable sense of style, but if you want people to fall in love with your ink, it’s worth the search!

Okay, I have an idea, but it would take a seriously awesome artist to pull it off. I’m thinking the girl, as you’ve said, (you, I’m assuming) sitting and reaching toward that star, with the star’s light kind of forming a ghost hand and reaching down to the girl’s outstretched hand. Sounds a bit cheesy to read it, I know, but a great artist could…[Read more]

Oh, I’m sorry, had you not yet chimed in on this thread? I guess I hadn’t noticed. Hmm. 😀

hey Dave Van you turkey basted test tube baby, it was a joke, but it does have meaning because birth control could be an evil to some people and positive to others, so FACE ON YOU BUDDY BOYYYY

It was a stupid joke, and you are wasting a lot of peoples time with your stupidity. Please drink some Drano and go play in the street.

Well, you also need to practice some animal anatomy and perspective as well. The left foot isn’t only closer to the viewer, it’s actually quite a lot bigger/thicker than the right leg is, and of a different shape/detail/texture. Overall, it’s proportions are all just slightly off.

Yeah, definitely. I was not happy with…[Read more]

That’s some very useful information, thanks dipshit! To answer your question C-los, It would represent the good and evil you were talking about. The tree is flourishing on the side where good is predominant and dying on the evil side.

How about Bruce Lee?

That last one is hot as hell! Btw, Calvin and Hobbes is one of my all-time favorite strips, but the artist on that one should be hung for messing up Gary Watterson’s artwork like that.
