I don’t think it screams gay…a rainbow would though ha

I keep saying it’s going to be done, but my Joshua Carlton lion will be done next Saturday finally!

Jess yen does fast b/g slow color. Check out tony hu and james tex. Both have “similar” styles with him. Come to think of it, I think they are both more expensive than Jess. No one else, that I can think of, does his style.

Oh okay cool, I def like Jess Yen’s better. I think I”ll go through with the consultation and…[Read more]

Thanks for the reference pic…that’s really cool how he was able to turn it into such a sweet piece!

Bringing this back to life…anybody know if Jess Yen is fast or slow? I’m trying decide whether or not to put a deposit down for a tattoo 2-3 years out =)

how often do you get touch ups? Also, do you typically just tip some or do artists charge?? Just trying to learn =)

Very nice…could we see a pic of the reference photo??

how’s it feel getting the nipple done?? ha

I didn’t think it’d be possible to fix the rays on my sun, but it worked out. Somebody tell me if I’m wrong, but you might be able to just re-work it in color and have it go from a shitty tattoo to a reasonable tattoo. I bet an artist could find a clever way to re-work it. On mine,…[Read more]

Is there anything I can do to improve it? Like small things, or should I just leave it alone and wait til’ i’m older to get it lasered.

Why can’t you get it lasered now? Or color in the entire sun and stars black for more of a tribal look…I’ve seen plenty of Filipino sun and stars in straight black.

I’m kind of excited for the documentary. That’s pretty cool. Almost makes me wish I’d get into social networks. Maybe Twitter. Maybe.

I don’t know if you do Instagram, but you should! I got one just to follow tattoo artists I like, so it’s just a newsfeed of photos of tattoos.

he picks what to tattoo, but he did ask me what i wanted. i said do whatever you want!

crazy…i could never do that ha.

Wow can’t believe I missed that…did you get to pick your tattoo or he had ideas already? I have my 2nd lion cover session with Joshua Carlton this Saturday, been waiting a few months so I’m pumped for it!

I see what you are saying, however if you applied that to everything else in life, then you’d be bankrupt. I’d love a lot of things in life, but I end up finding less expensive things that I’m happy with. There are probably some similar artists out there anyway (plus I read on a forum that Jess Yen was slow).

Time spent is an interesting point…[Read more]

Yeah I’ve looked before. I was just curious if anyone knew someone top of mind. I like Aaron Bell in Seattle, who is nearby, but his is more traditional Japanese.

I played college football and many players have tattoos, which intrigued me. I got my first one sophomore year.

add “Money” after it

to those with leg tats, do you shave your legs on a daily basis? I’ve noticed some people with hairy ass legs and tattoos, and it really takes away from the tattoo haha.

A full sleeve! Maybe a skull somewhere too, I don’t have it in me to put a skull on my body yet!

Sorry to keep this alive..lol. Here is a pre-heal photo, did the right one heal poorly or can you tell that it was going to turn out so much lighter?
