New Avatar. Love it.

Out of curiosity, what is the story behind the masks? The only reason I ask is that my tat is partially of a mask and people have told me it’s like things they’ve seen from Venice- I’d like to know what they are talking about. : )

You don’t seem like an Asshole, Steve. You are verbose, you are interesting and you could argue that you fit into the “scratcher” category, just based on your own description but I don’t see asshole in there.

Welcome to the forum, don’t be afraid to post, put up some photos of your work but try to frame it in a way that doesn’t include the home…[Read more]

I think color would make this tat amazing. Make sure you get really deep, rich colors and make sure the colors make sense together. I think your skin color is perfect for this kind of color.

and make sure you post pics when you get it done!

Nice work!

This photo is black and white, can you put a full color one up so we can see it in the natural colors?

This was brought up when we first started. On the surface, you are right but I am a selfish person and I wanted the center piece of my tat to be a place that I could see it…[Read more]

It’s interesting to me how much people here need lipstick on their pigs.

It’s ugly, find a new artist.

Post 2:

It’s lacking the foundation of structure and design lending it a somewhat pale and washed out looking piece of art. The artist was not suitably trained to do this type of tattoo and therefore I would suggest you research the…[Read more]

Thanks for all the info! I’m not going to fly there but I’m trying to get myself a spot for when/if he comes here. He doesn’t have any plans to come but I’m sure he’ll be here eventually.

Seriously amazing stuff. One of the best portfolios I have seen.

Some follow up questions:

How long did this take, how many sittings?
How much did it cost (sorry if that’s rude, I’m in contact with him about something similar which is why I’m asking)?
Did you go in with a photo?
Is he in Moscow?

You fuckin guys kill me! The guy was asking if the image would be able to be put to skin, not what you thought of it.
Arni, you chastized me for this same move.
I tend to agree with you guys, but the answer to his question is YES it can be done on your skin just like the image.

Besides, it was the OP’s response to…[Read more]

This type of tat is what keeps me coming back here. Great work, you should be really proud! Pimp your artist out a bit, does he have a site?

Wow, lots of sensitive newbies here recently. If you ask for an opinion and you don’t like what you hear which brings you calling one of our mods the C-word you aren’t meant to be here anyway.

You know that symbol means “short tempered dick” in Kanji, right?

try here?

hi josi,

sounds like you have been through a lot! reading through this I fail to see how you could have gotten any disease from the laser process. Correct me if I am wrong but other than the blazing hot beam of light I don’t think there is anything that goes in your skin and its a blood to blood transmission.

In fact, Hep usually takes a long…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply. 🙂

I talked to my new artist about this, and we discussed original ideas we could do that would satisfy me. I’ve decided that I’m going to get a different octopus design, and I’m getting it done on my side/my ribs.

I’m really excited for it, it’ll be my first colour tattoo, and I’m really curious…[Read more]
