No, not promoting anything. I hadn’t even heard of that shop until I searched for it today. I was just seeing if there were any other good options. Yes I posted on another forum the same question and it was a good thing I did because I found another good suggestion there. If posting links in reference to other artists is against the rules then…[Read more]

The problem with your question is that it depends on what style. For example, the cute cartoony style her quality seems good to me. the shading is good and the detail is right on. On the rest of her portfolio is not so good. The details, perspective and shading seems off to me.

So I guess the answer, for me any way, is that…[Read more]

Her cartoony female tats are really good but I wouldn’t get anything other than that from her.

Something to think about: You could be a walking billboard for one artist or you could target tattoo artists that match the style of each tattoo that you get. I think she is one dimensional and if you get everything in the same…[Read more]

yeah maybe. I don’t really mind though since everything I want done from her will be like that.

Any significance for the subject matter?

Quite a bit actually, but I don’t need to get all religious on you guys 😛

Not a fan boy of Japanese tattoos, to someone like me it looks pretty dull, the faces look weird and you can see the whitish/blueish ink on the white dress is touching the outer line of the yellow dress.

Again, it’s just for someone who isn’t into this kind of tattoos.
The colors may have been dull on purpose, same for the…[Read more]

It is different yeah. I didn’t have a particular style in mind for this one. I just took a picture in and kind of let the artist do her thing.

Got it finished. Thought I’d post pics here instead of starting a new thread. The artist wanted to take some before I left so these were taken 10 minutes after it was finished, thus the swelling and blood etc. Ignore the huge scar/stretch mark, it will go down eventually. I will try to get another picture of the tree when I can.

Or you can go…[Read more]

Nice job fryc86. Very impressed with your research.

Just luck 🙂 I happened to have that page saved among the many I have for future design ideas.

yeah I do like that concept and would like to do something like that sometime. I’m not sure I want to do it with this one though. I’m going to put something else in each heart, and don’t really think it would look right in black and white.

take a look at this page: http://sometimessweet.blogspot.com/2010/02/tattoo-tuesday-v7.html

They discuss this exact tattoo. It might give you some ideas.

This is what it looked like when I got home and cleaned it up. So not sure what happened. Also, I had put on a little bit of sunscreen earlier that day, over it. Don’t know if that would’ve done anything.

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:10:06 +0000

think I might be messing it up already… I know I can get touch-ups but this doesn’t seem normal. I was told just to wash it with antibacterial soap (no washcloth, just fingers) and let air dry or pat with paper towel.

They didn’t recommend a&d ointment.

Then I could put on a little bit of lotion (cetaphil) a couple times a day to keep it…[Read more]

hmm yeah I didn’t think about shading behind it… It’s going to be a half sleeve, but just did the centerpiece right now. Being a sleeve I didn’t want this piece to lose focus with all of the other stuff around it, maybe some shading behind this piece would pop it out a little from the rest of the background? I don’t know.

and yeah I did tip…[Read more]

thanks for the help. I certainly plan on tipping, that wasn’t in question as I know how important the work is. I was just wondering, since the piece will be more than one sitting, if it was customary to tip (relative to the amount done that day) each sitting or only after the whole thing was finished.

thanks again

well I don’t think it would come out much different if I did it once, or each sitting. A 20% tip of 1000 is 200. If I do two sittings at 500 each and tip 100 each time, its still the same in the end, but the artist gets part of the tip sooner.

Thanks. Yes I’m going to be paying for each session, I was just wondering about tips. I plan on tipping 15-20% of whatever each sitting is. If this is wrong, please let me know. thanks

thanks. Yeah I am liking the idea of a black/white scheme with a dark red rose in the background. I think I’ll just have to go into the shop and ask them what they think about size issues.
