I’ll try and get better picture of it when I have a moment. I regards to bio piece I’m actually changing artist now. Guy who did those two is ok, but I don’t think he’s got enough skill and experience to deliver a standard of work that I expect. It was my mistake that I jumped in to quick and just let him do the work. Just…[Read more]

LOL! I have a better idea… you just get that good, and I’ll sit in a corner and cry. Deal?

Sounds like a hell of a deal. I’ll even do you one better. When I DO get that good, I’ll do your custom piece for only 25K! 😀 To PvtDonut, sorry to hijack your thread here, buddy. This is the last thing I’ll be posting here that…[Read more]

My backpiece is going to be a dragon and knight scene, in Anne Stokes detail, and I can’t seem to find a single tattoo artist that is also a fantasy artist that does these kinds of dragons. Who knows, I may have to just buy a piece from Anne, special made… sure, I have 50 grand in my pocket 😀

Yeah, good luck with THAT…[Read more]

I think I’ve just fallen in love! 😀

I think hers are the first dragons that I’ve seen that fit my own image of dragons. Thanks so very much for that link.

I feel exactly the same way. On both comments! You’re welcome. 🙂

Thanks! I don’t know much about photography, but the flower pic is hot! So’s your friend, btw 😀 (Oops! Hope my wife doesn’t see that!) lol I’m sure you’re gonna get lots of visits now. :p

He charges $150CDN an hour, the rest of the artists in the shop are $120.

That’s the freakin deal of the century! I can’t recall having seen anyone better.

I hate to ask what this guy charges?

Welcome, and thanks for posting pics! Too bad the top one is so blurry, I’d really like to see that pupil. The ink looks good, tho, although I do see a couple somewhat shaky lines on the bio piece. Overall it looks like it could be a kick ass sleeve anyway. Nice work!

lol Love the sumo thing, awesome. My two cents would be if you can find a talented portrait artist and have the money, Micheal Douglas’ character William Foster from Falling Down. The underdog who decided to fight back!

Thanks to everyone for the great advice and support. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help me out, and I hope that within the next five years or so you’ll be seeing me out there winning competitions and making industry news! When I learn to tattoo like I draw I plan on giving great deals to all of my friends here who come to…[Read more]

I haven’t abandoned this mission, just trying to figure out something that feels organic and right. I’ll have something soon!

exactly. I am getting my mums, dads, nan & Grandads after i have been on holiday!

Sorry man, but that seems to lack a certain creative sense to me. You want to be an artist, I would seriously recommend to you that you try to decide on an image that represents these people. It’s a lot more interesting when someone says,…[Read more]

I realize that this is from back in January, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here who explained all of the reasons NOT to get certain types of tattoos so eloquently. I really got a lot out of the responses to this thread, although after reading everything and seeing that this person is no longer a member I am seriously suspicious of…[Read more]

By the bye, this is an area for folks to post their artwork and flash, and I notice that you don’t even have anything uploaded to your private albums. This was my first forum, but I had enough common sense to read the descriptions of the areas and figure out where to post stuff… Y’know what? I feel like I’m just being a dick here. Please pay…[Read more]

I think that is a kick ass idea! I’d definitely go with that.

Just realized something. Be careful with that idea, a robin is a relatively small bird, and the rose could end up looking like some miniature flower or just way out of proportion to the bird. Remember that it’s your skin. If you don’t like the drawing make the…[Read more]

Hey, I may be going out on a limb here, but I have heard rumors that there are people out there who have studios where you can just walk in and they’ll design you a font right there on the spot! I think they’re called tattoo artists or something? If you find someone who asks you to find a font on the internet and bring it to them, just nod, smile…[Read more]

what would you guys think of the robin holding a thorny black rose with its beak?

I think that is a kick ass idea! I’d definitely go with that.

Well, what I think would be awesome might be like some old fashioned map graphics, like a directional cross, a Chinese dragon in the waves, “Here there be monsters”, that kind of stuff. It looks like you have an artist who could come up with some cool stuff.

LOL Oh, okay, it’s cool then. Hey I recognized it as islands!

WTF is THAT? A map of the Falklands?
