Are you allergic to white gold?? I’m super allergic to metals as well. But white gold really seemed to work for me the best.

lol.. I know a guy who wanted a small chicken on the back of his neck and the artist got the best of him by putting a rooster there instead.

So my friends used to make fun of him and say, “hahaha.. you’ve got a cock on the back of your neck!”

Don’t let this happen to you…

Eh… it’s sad, but that’s how everything starts becoming corporate. I’m not for it but, if capitalist bitches want a piece of the tat industry they better work their asses off. But I definitely think artists should have work and ample resources. I don’t want to see tattoo artists starve anymore!

Impressive.

It just means tattoos are becoming more commercial/mainstream… There’s nothing wrong with benefits. Everyone needs insurance and money. I’m proud that artists are getting paid now. They should get rewarded for their hard work. I wouldn’t go to a mall tattoo parlor personally, but that’s just me…

Welcome to the forum.. it’s easy to tell who the fakers are and who is legit. If you ask a question and you get the same answers from many people who agree, then that’s most likely the right answer. But if you ask a question be sure to wait a little bit. We don’t have the influx yet that other forums have. So be patient and don’t settle for the…[Read more]

Check this picture out. http://i26.tinypic.com/2nbhg7o.jpg That would be an awesome tat on your back or an arm.

I don’t watch House but I know that his cane is very important so why don’t you incorporate that. If you’re going for humourous, you could JUST have the cane and the word house down the side or something…

It’s a great idea… That…[Read more]

I’m from KS also, welcome.

Whoa guys… ease up a little on the violence…

Yes her work is horrible.. but the thing is, there are people ignorant enough to let her work on them and those people are the reason she has any credibility at all.

If you educate yourself on an artist’s history and portfolio, then this won’t happen to you.

Water Works meaning blood everywhere… not good.

In my opinion, his artwork -needs- work. Go to someone else. This guy’s line work and shading is horrible. All of his work looks very cartoon-esque. You want the linework crisp and the shading so awesome you can’t tell in a gradient where one color stops and the next one begins.

Not a good idea unless you want water works… if you know what I mean…

Yep… I thought about getting mine for about a year then it took six months to design.

Your tattoo artist will do that for you.

Sounds good. Well post pix when you get it done. =)

The last two were prison tattoos.. As I’ve explained in another thread, to be tattooed on the face means either a death sentence or no way in hell they are getting out of prison.

The penis imbellishment is probably a guy who got labeled as a sextoy in prison. That or he is a passive homosexual male…

Wtf Mate?! There’s gotta be a reasonable explanation for why those are so bad…

It’s doable. The only thing that may be a problem is the background. Either you can have an artist fade the background out into your skin or you can just remove it completely. I guess you could also have the artist make up a custom design. It’s all up to you. If you want the tattoo artist to do that specific picture you’ll need to print it out and…[Read more]

That’s really hard to see… but lemme get this straight… basically you want a huddle of skulls and a rose centered above them???

I tried to get addicted to cigarettes but… I’m too random to pick up a habit like that. I’ve tried… I guess it’s not for me.
