It doesn’t matter what you get. If you have a design that you want and that each part holds meaning for YOU (which obviously it does) then go for it. It’s yours….

As for the links. I like Johns work. Seems to have straighter lines and better technique.

I agree, with everything you posted.

I thought Johns work looked…[Read more]

nah i love old school sailor jerry . but im not a fan of random tribal flash

Yea I feel the same about the tribal stuff as well. I sort of dig the Polynesian type tribal stuff but to me it only looks right as a sleeve or a half sleeve.

Thanx for the encouragement!

So does this mean if I tell you I like the Sailor Jerry ‘Flash’ pieces your going to hang me? Hehe.

No worries Indy – I’m still a tattoo newbie, and my opinions are mine and mine alone! All I wanted to express is that your tattoo should be derivative of your own experiences, rather than those of someone else. If you’ve found something you’re happy with – go for it!

On the other hand, if you have any doubts, take some…[Read more]

I completely see what your saying iMark.

I respect your opinion and views on the subject.

Frankly, it doesn’t bother me that it’s ‘unoriginal’ or anything. My chances of actually running into someone else with this exact tattoo is, I’d say, pretty slim. Considering I don’t know many folks with tattoos and I don’t really “get out” or “hang out”…[Read more]

LoL, I saw that phrase on another forum where someones spouse was bitching at them about getting something.

On a serious note though, I can somewhat sympathize with the OP. I’ve been married going on 11 years now and my wife and I know how each other are, she may not care for inked skin too much but she also knows I’ll eventually get my way,…[Read more]

No wonder your opinion is “blah”!

Just checked your profile, KILLER sleeves bro!

Look at artist portfolio before you get any work! Once you find one you like then go get inked!

Oh, and good advice. Thanx! To the point! 😉

This one looks great actually and it’s in around the same spot I would want mine. Closer to the original than all the others if you ask me. Looks like the tattoo artist did a very fine job of staying “in the lines” and everything. All the lines look the right thickness and everything.

Wtf?!

Chick with the great boobs again, this angle looks worse if you ask me, of the tattoo that is, hehehe

Meh, this ones just “ok”

Actually, this one doesn’t looky to shabby.

Again, “no”. The wings look funny and the bird looks a bit on the chunky side. Sunrise and waves aren’t too shabby though.

Close but no cigar. Looks freehand’ish. Meh, nice boobs. Hehehe
