I would have been perfect if it was misspelled.

HAHA we have interacted before, I think. I found Nick on another tat forum when someone (I think it was you) posted that they went to see nick about a biomech piece and he sent them to someone else. He responded to clarify what happened and I saw that post, clicked on the link under nicks name and 4 months later I am getting tatted by him. So,…[Read more]

It looks kind of weird to me. A very unfinished look, which I’m sure will be remedied once you add whatever it is you’re planning.
Do you have any closer pictures? It’s pretty difficult to see any detail in that one.

Agreed… Why start with the background? it will only limit you when get to your focus piece.

It’s already…[Read more]

HAHA welcome to the forum. Be careful asking for opinions here, you might get more than you asked for…

To be honest, this isn’t really a great place to ask about tribal. Why? this is a tattoo forum, and tribal tattoos are still tattoos, right? The problem is that we have all seen SO MUCH tribal that it’s just not exciting to most of us any more.

Good for you, you know what you want. Do the research and find someone that can do the work. Asking…[Read more]

Really? you are asking a bunch of strangers on the internet who don’t know you what to get tattooed right next to one of the most intimate places on your body? really?

I think a question mark would be perfect. It symbolizes your lack of decisiveness today and after a few years go by it will be the perfect symbol for the question of “why did I do this?”.

It depends on a lot of factors. here are a few: Is he going to line and then shade or do the whole thing with a shader? is he going to draw it on you or is he going to use a stencil? is it going to be color or black and grey? how fast does your artist work? How good is he? How much detail are you looking for? How focused is he? How much pain can…[Read more]

I love boobs- I MEAN TATTOOS OF BOOOBS NO WAIT TATTOOS NO WAIT GOOD TATTOOS!

Is this on you?

Other than skin cancer, discomfort, other damage to your skin, an annoying red color to you all summer, people smacking you on the back because they know you are burnt all the time, peeling constantly all for a 10% reduction in color I don’t see a problem with this plan.

of course you get paid, it’s not like slavery or an internship. I wouldn’t expect much more than the absolute minimum wage though.

Somedays I wonder if I’m totally unclear in my communication or if everyone on the planet is a complete retard.

ff the fucking hook! Great tat, I look forward to seeing it healed. Your tats are incredible, can you let me know the process that you go through with your artist to get from start to finish? how does something like this happen?

Keep in mind that I am not an artist…but…. This drawing you have is of A leg, not YOUR leg. Meaning, you leg is going to be a different shape/size/thinkness with all of the individual things that make YOUR leg unique. Look at the tattoo in my album (I have it finished now but don’t have a good photo yet). It fits into my arm perfectly.

I’m…[Read more]

Yes. Just go to the tattoo artist.
No need for a middle man.

Agreed. On top of that, you should build the relationship with your artist since you are going to be spending some time with him/her

I don’t know much about piercings but I think you should pull it out, wait 6 months and repierce it way you want. Or…. leave the one you have now, have fun with it and pierce the other side in a bit. Then you take the first one out and let it heal. My wife has a lebret and when it’s not in its very unnoticeable. Her’s is a 14 gauge.

So much of…[Read more]

This looks good and you can really draw! The issue that I have is that although this is a great drawing, it’s not drawn for the place that it’s going to go. A great tattoo is not only a good piece of art, it fits the body the way it is supposed to. Additionally, if you go into a shop and say “I want this”, you might find yourself a tier down as…[Read more]

Do you know what the general responsibilities of a “shop hand” typically entails?

Don’t know for a fact but in my experience from another industry shop hand= shop bitch. You will do all the stuff no one else wants to do. Bathroom cleaning, trash taking out, phone answering, ETC. Its not a bad way…[Read more]

Oh, sorry,

Step 0:

STAY AWAY FROM FAMILY BASED TATTOO WORK! go payfor it. you get what you pay for and most, not all but most, of the time people who “know someone” know a hack that will make it worse than it already is. Do your research, pay for the work and enjoy a great tat. Besides, if your brother in law messes it up further. you are stuck…[Read more]
