Well, I was referring to a pic of your ink, but also of some ideas you are interested in for your next one, what kind of direction you want to go with it, that sort of thing. And you can put them right here, in general discussion, in my ink, just about anywhere people talk about their tattoos. But, as I’m always ragging on people to do here, put…[Read more]

Hey, didn’t want you to think I was uninterested by not responding, but wow, that is just so personal, I would feel extremely uncomfortable trying to weigh in on something like that. And sympathies for your loss.

A good artist will be able to cover that nicely. You could cover it with a koi fish and some water in the background, or something like thatReally? Koi? Ugh! *rolls eyes* But seriously, yeah, that should cover easily. I recommend covering it with some cool tribal!

replied to the topic Thoughts on this tattoo in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 14 years, 11 months ago
Meh, not loving the bird. Mainly because it’s oddly colored and not a s well rendered as the rest of the tat. I’d say at least a better version of a robin, but if I wanted something along those lines, ( i really like dark stuff though), I’d go with a crow or raven. Amok made a good point about the contrasting images, though.

Buttwheat you are hilarious. I’m stealing that image for my profile pic. TDW, that’s some nice work, man. I think it looks good now, but the detail will probably be a little nicer when it lightens up.

replied to the topic tribal in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 14 years, 11 months ago
I gotta be honest, I can get a hard on for some righteously done tribal, I mean, art is art, and good art is good regardless of the style, but if you are looking at some typical flash tribal or some high school art class shit, then it is just that, shit. A lot of narrow minded idiots will say that “you should only get tribal if you are a member of…[Read more]

Omg, this is getting comical. Yes, Bope and I had a huge testosterone fueled pissing match there, but we have since resolved our differences and I don’t want to see this thread become a hater page. Thanks to everyone for having my back, but like I said initially, the work is really pretty good and I am interested to see where it ends up. I’m not…[Read more]

How can seeing someone else’s stuff help you? You need to post a pic of your own piece and the people on here who actually do tattoos can tell you if it’s too dark. I suspect that either you are embarrassed of the work done on you and are trying to see if anyone else has crappy tats, or you don’t actually have any ink and are just trying to get…[Read more]

replied to the topic My idea of a zombie chick. in the forum Tattoo Flash – Show Your Designs 14 years, 11 months ago
Yeah, just a quick drawing to prove a point. I honestly don’t know why anyone would get anything like this permanently tattoed on their skin, but, different strokes and all.
