Not too difficult a cover up bro. (That is as long as you go to a competent artist.) and remember if you go to a tattooist and they try to tell you (Really on most cover-ups) that you have to use Tribal, or an all black design, chances are they are not good enough to be doing coverups, just keep that in mind bro. Anyone that uses that as a cop-out…[Read more]

Also, I should say that I apologize for kinda hijacking your post without atleast first contributing to your thread. I think you have a talent my friend!! Very nice work. Do you tattoo, or only draw flash? Either way it’s very nice. Kudos!!

Cool, no real reason why. It’s just that for some dumb reason several forums over the years would have Mod’s that would go all apeshit if anyone posted actual pics and not just the link??? I have never seen the harm but yet they have had these rules regardless. Thanks for clearing that up for me though. Occasionally over the last 5 years I would…[Read more]

From a different tattoo forum:

“I am the guy who posted the OP.

It’s common on the forum we post on to do whatever we can to “troll” other posters on the forum we deem uncool. It’s a 4chan thing I suppose, and most of us who do it also play Xbox 360 games together and we get a laugh out of it (our lulz). It’s also common…[Read more]

Also, I’m not sure if it’s just the demographic of our shop in particular but when tend to pierce probably 65%-75% Teen Girls ages 16-20 (Under 18 with parent of-coarse) maybe the young age makes them more nervous by nature?

Yeah, I realize it seems high, but we have a special that runs constantly, we do $10 body piercings… So I do apx. anywhere between 15 on a slow day to 40 on say friday or saturday. So combine that with maybe 3-4 smaller tattoos or 1-2 larger pieces…[Read more]

Much BETTER bro, all in all not a bad piece!! Do you have a lot of work? If so are they all B&G pieces?

A little trick I picked up on my own during my apprenticeship in 2006, not only do I use “What I consider to be the very best transfer gel” but I will also use a spray made by the same company. I hope it’s cool to mention a brand name, anyway it’s called “Spray Stuff” and its from the same makers as my transfer gel. After I put my stencil on I…[Read more]

Get a sunburn, then run your fingernail down it…lol

Once again not trying to be an ass, I’m just REALLY offended when people try to take the easy way out. Also, I do sincearly apologize if im off track here.

Man. I try not to be negative but it looks to me (and i apologize if I am) that you are just scratchin in your house. Do it the right way man or you’ll never make it bro. A year of tattooing and you are only at that level? That raises some serious red flags for me. Here is a pic of a tattoo that I did maybe 3 months after starting to tattoo (After…[Read more]

Nice!! Looks like some solid work bro.

My advice bro, even if you plan on sticking with B&G you should still get another session to put in all your mid tones, subtle tones, highlights etc. Looks real good but looks to me like the artist was under the impression that you would be adding color in the future, because thats how we shade when doing a color piece not a B&G piece. 1 more…[Read more]

Nice, seems to work best for most of my clients.

Thanks man, maybe if we stay on em enough we’ll get results.

This is why our industry is falling apart…sad!!!
