Super pretty and well-executed!

It’s not snobbery to expect a professional to be properly licensed.

Would you go to a doctor who had a history of practicing medicine without a license?

there are often free or very cheap art classes in local community or youth centres (not all colleges make you take a humanities class)

He’s adorable, Panter! And he looks like he knows it. 🙂 What does he like to eat?

I like the boar a lot, Cardinal. I can’t imagine that piece not dominating anything else, as well done as it is.

Mr. Chen, I think it looks good there’s a LOT of diversity, but that’s almost a theme within itself.

Kitty, I love a well-done bird tattoo. Your…[Read more]

I don’t know – Those things look almost surreal and made of metal. They’re cutie bugs, for sure. 🙂 (Exactly what a man wants to hear, that he has a cutie bug on him.)

Do you think different themes can flow nicely together?

Glad I’m not the only one! 🙂 Don’t forget to take pictures.

Amateur is a synonym for apprentice. I don’t think Arni was being mean. As a customer, the most important thing I want/need to see from an apprentice is lots and lots of drawings of all sorts.

Also, if I paid someone 10k and they stole and sold my property, I’d file a lawsuit ASAP. Don’t let someone get away with that.

Part of the problem I think is that the models for Wile E. and RR have changed a little bit with the making of the new cartoons. The background really makes me think circa 1960s Merry Melodies, and that’s probably my favorite MM period. I’m a cartoon nerd, and trust me, it has all the best Coyote and RR eps: “War and Pieces,” “Sugar and Spies,”…[Read more]

I’ve heard that, but I can deal with crazy a lot better than whatever this is.

I love looking at people’s art and I don’t want to jump onto anyone who’s trying to grow as an artist, but it’s very frustrating to spend time looking at someone’s work only to have them repost the same stuff…[Read more]

We’ve seen the snake and the skull before. I don’t want to snap at you, but why on Earth would you repost the same thing expecting a different reaction?

The road runner and Wile E. are a little off-scale, but very cool, and I like the desert a lot! It’s beautifully detailed and a great homage to those old Merry Melodies backdrops. Any plans to color?

Yes, it is okay to have both eyes tattooed on you. 🙂 It is your choice. Both eyes are seen on some amulets (“enchanted” jewelry).

Honey, if that’s the tattoo you want, take it to your tattooist make it a little more special for you.. Nothing is a 100% match, and if that’s what you like, the Tattoo Police won’t come to get you. Are you specifically wanting a flower or that black and white style or are you really in love with that tattoo?

Quote:
the eye served to ensure safety, protect health, and give the wearer wisdom and prosperity. It was called the “all-seeing Eye.” Other attributes associated with it are terror and wrath. According to some myths, the eye took on a personality of its own, swooping down out of the sky to right wrongs…

One eye was removed and rebuilt, and…[Read more]

With my limited imagination, this looks like a challenge because of the placement; I’d worry about making it look crowded. Perhaps a vine, or more roses swooping below the quote.

It’s a very nice piece! In some ways, it feels a little disjointed as though the silver wing part is a bit surreal and takes away from the suspension of disbelief of the piece, but I’m not sure that’s a bad thing… Makes it more unique and less like any biomech piece I’ve ever seen.

This is one thing I’ve always struggled with when it comes to thinking about tattoos; part of me has always felt things look better with a “theme,” and I try to balance things. My first tattoo was on my right thigh, and my second was on my left side. My next tattoo, certainly, will be on my right side, and it will have to integrate with the one…[Read more]

Wait. You may get stretchmarks from losing weight, thus ruining the final product. Wait until you’ve lost… and maintained… the weight. I’d personally wait a year, but at least wait 6 months.

The Northern Lights are tacky?

Beautiful, mysterious, awe-inspiring, breathtaking… All words I’d use.

Can’t say tacky springs to mind.
