not if your looking at it from the 69 position……….

LMAO!!!! True…. but not exactly the best time to be reminded of church either.

I’m liking it… I usually don’t like one color in the black and gray work, but I like the green in this one because it’s not bright enough to overpower the rest of it.

Can’t really see the after pic. It looks like a giant blob.

Hard to tell….. it’s a little unbalanced to me right now . I think it could use some darker blues maybe in the “stormy night”. It’s a little one sided on the red tones.

Sweet!!!!! I love the seaweed….. nice highlights. Do you think these realistic tatts fade faster then traditional?

Nope… I only have one tatt, a crappy Grateful Dead bear on my ankle I got when I was 17. Mom paid for it to piss off Dad. I’m getting a fantasy piece started in June. Still debating 1/2 sleeve or large lower leg piece. If I do anything with words, it’ll be something Tolkien-esque.

LOL……. Wish I could see the stick of butter. That’s classic.

Quite welcome. I guess you just lucked out, coming here. I doubt many people know this. The only reason I know the Tengwar alphabet, is because I was planning a rune tattoo of my own 😀

Wooohoo….. Glad you’re here! I may be asking you for a word to work into my upcoming tatt… My Tengwar is about 17 years rusty. LOL I…[Read more]

I really like this piece. Very cool the way the focus is on the fish and then drawn to the boat.

I’m no expert, but that looks like it’s going to be tough to cover. I’d take it to a good cover up artist and get an opinion.

HAHAHAHAHA…… I just had Sprite fizz out of my nose… Thank God I wasn’t too close the the keyboard. Thanks for the laugh! 😀

WOW…. I love the ummmm metallic looking balls for lack of a better description below the eye and below each collar bone. How long did all this take?

Does that have some raised skin in it?

Wow… add significant other’s lip marks to things I’ll never have tattooed on me

Looks like I’m far from alone on oops scale.

Bixler.. yeah, I’m deciding on placement for my next one now. It’s been a process because I just don’t want to regret putting it on my arm and wish it was the leg or vice versa.

Suz… I definitely made the bad artist mistake too. Well, not bad, but not great either.

KH… WOW… that’s regrettable…[Read more]

oooh…. Gotta say, I’m not particularly into vampire tatts… but that’s sweet looking!!!! 🙂

Here’s my thought….. Anyone can find a tattoo artist SOMEWHERE near them to learn from. It might not come easy, and it might take a lot of work, but I can’t see any good reason to just start practicing without a mentor to teach proper technique. I decided I wanted to get serious about art and graphic design. I looked online and found some local…[Read more]

I have to agree with reefdiver. Although, I think there is a difference between memorializing the good times vs. something sad. I’m doing something that my family and friends are calling a “memorial” tattoo… but I don’t see it that way. I’m not doing a portrait, or a date etc. I’m taking something I love, and incorporating some elements that…[Read more]
