Look up tom renshaw or bob tyrell they are amazing portrait artists but people dont usually touch other peoples work.Good luck finding one that will be comfortable and do a good job.I might be suprised but I dont think its a good idea .

wrap the roots around a crest that sounds like everyone would be happy.Your artist wont look away into the distance ,thinking on how the hell he can talk You out of this one.

Our bodies should be our temple and we should put offering into what will be there for life.You’ll pay more in clothes that will be thrown away outgrown or turned to rubish.Why not if its permanent, figure 20 or 30 hours at 100 or 150 an hour perty good price.

You need it be a back piece if you want to have the crest carved in it.Due too the detail it wouldnt make a difference whether it were there or not if its done too small because you’d have no room to make it visible.However big the trunk is matters on how much room to fit something like a crest so think about that .

You should really study the style your trying to put down.Its good but this style has laws that are very strong.1/3 black shading 1/3 medium color to 1/3 highlight.Dont be afraid to blend a darker color to a lighter one and with the prisma color set get a blender to make the light colors fade to your edges.Good paper if found alsmost everywhere…[Read more]

Dont know what your using to make your flash sheets.But let me make a recommendation use good paper pigment pens and prisma colors .Press hard for bright colors saturate the colors and it will seem to be alot more solid of a design.

I agree with the posts above…….. needs to be rendered into tattoo form to follow the lines of your body where ever you get it.

Hear ya loud and clear I am a firm believer that there is only one right way to learn,several swift kicks in the ass and years of paying attention to details in shops.

I am still cruising the forums and finding my way around.

Seems like a silly question are you planning on doing the tattoo also? This site seems to have alot subjects on what should I do if I stuff?

Its simple let the artist do the work because its in his job skills and if your artist cant produce it.Find a decent artist that can.Maybe your friend will thank you not black your eye over it,lol.

Never can tell what happened ,could be you or your artists fault.Hard to tell without a picture or something to see.Some people have tough canvas and some artists dont have the skill to apply a tattoo well so its up in the air with out seeing all the evidence from all sources down to what you used to care for it .

I have only seen keloid scarring when the tattoo was done too deep .Seen other tattoo artist’s outlines and shading produce scarring so it depends on how its applied,because I have been told this by people and I never had a keloid show up in my tattooing that I was ever aware of? I just let people and their dr.do the judging on what I can and cant do.
