And no, mama wouldn’t be proud.

Stop it now! It is very fixable, but it looks like the guy outlined every fret individually? Who the fuck did that? Work the right side of the fretboard in a straight line, THEN draw in the individual frets! This guy is no artist.

The tribal can be easily cleaned up. It’s only black lines. I’ve seen some incredible cover-ups and addition work to existing tribal.

You should tell your friend to go see the local butcher and get some pig skins. They are cheap, and great for practice. I was doing about 30 – 40 hours a week on pig skin and was able to get…[Read more]

Looks pretty good so far. Keep us posted!

Okay, I’m probably going to get strung up here, but I didn’t even recognize anyone on that piece but Christopher Lloyd. Is that supposed to be Mike Fox (Marty) in the middle? Also, I haven’t seen all of the films, so I don’t even recognize the last one. I think the color, shading and artwork is great, but as for the recognizability of the other two? …

btw, I just noticed the second page of this thread. Yeah, get away from this artist. Now. Do you really want to compare your work with the work of superior artists? I would rather save a grand to get a relatively small tattoo by someone really talented than get a 1500 dollar sleeve by some suckass.

I don’t know about a cover up, I’m not experienced enough to give that kind of opinion, but I would definitely find someone near you to give you some advice. There are a lot of people here qualified to give you advice, but I think most of them only look at certain threads, and also only comment on threads that interest them, so try to convey that…[Read more]

Welcome, Paula! We are mostly here for the same reason, so post lots of pics! Thanks!

Hi John. I’m sorry, I know this is a week old post, but I never look at this section as a rule. Your request intrigues me though, and I’m willing to try something. I’ll try to have it by Friday or Saturday. Welcome to the forum! (P.S. Don’t tell anyone I’m doing tribal for you, they HATE that around here! :p)

I’m gonna miss ol’ Gazz. (tears well up).

Okay, I may be biased as hell, but I fucking love this one. It’s pretty killer, and it’s well done.

Shit, will you look at the look on her face?

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Yeah, you’re biased, dude. I just don’t understand you guys and these green zombies. Hey man, ask KnightHawk what his zombie tat has done for his sex life! 😀

LOL fuckin Buttwheat! I better jump in here, because noone is gonna admit to having a “gay” tat. (Very politically incorrect, btw. NICE!)

The tattoo below is the love of my life before she got FAT! Let’s see that one, guys!

Sorry to break it to you, bro, but if you intend to be a successful artist, you’ve got a long way to go. It appears that those pics may be dark and blurry intentionally, as I do not see anything that you should be happy to post. The sketch of the fret board below the skin is too dark , lacks detail and the torn skin looks fake. I’m not trying to…[Read more]

Nice to meet you, speak. Welcome to the forum! Post some pics of your ink!

The only one I like is the one on the back although the pictures aren’t very good. The other ones look off and out of proportion. The one on the chest doesn’t look like a panther at all and is overall pretty bad. Sorry dude, being honest.

Have to agree there, not real impressed with #2 or #3. The first one looks pretty good,…[Read more]

Whatever, I’m out. I have better things to do than argue with children.

It isn’t your criticism, dude, it’s that you are criticizing and you don’t even know what the hell you’re talking about. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but you’re talking like some art major and you can barely copy stuff well. (Yes, it’s obvious from the “Twilight” drawing that the rose was a copy). And just because your gf graduated art…[Read more]

If I was doing that kind of work, I sure as hell wouldn’t let you post it on a forum. We all love ink, man, and kudos for giving your friend some practice, but you should never have let him do stuff that size on you. You’re gonna regret that later, and there’s no covering that mess.

Well, I guess you don’t have to be an artist to be a critic, just be prepared to be ignored by the masses. What, you couldn’t even find a piece of printer paper or something to draw on? Notebook paper? C’mon, Bert.

I’ll help you with the pics. All you do is go down to the bottom of each where there is a “bb code” and copy and paste that into your thread. I’ll do it for you this time.

There you go. Oh, and only the numbers change, so you can keep pasting the same code and just change the numbers. Like your numbers were 10148, 10147, 10146, etc. Good…[Read more]
