This is true. I was hasty in what I said since he contacted the artist. I don’t think artists should be expected to give their time away for free. No one should miss making money or getting work done to have a vague, pointless chat. My point was that if someone makes a phone call and leaves a message, unless someone’s…

Anyway, all I need now is to gather some money so I can start working on the sleeve, we’ve got a few ideas already, when I give him the signal he’ll draw me the first one or two pieces and we will move from there.…[Read more]

Yeah, the tattoo has a little black metal grip to it, since it was done in my artist’s “own style”, and he’s a pretty hardcore black metal guy, with a inverted cross tattooed by himself across his eye and such lol

I can still use it for a reference though, my artist doesn’t copy stuff anyway.

just curios how much will it be?

Well, the currency here is Reais, and 1 dollar = 2 reais, give or take.
Each session will be 100 reais, and he said about 4 sessions, so it’s going to be around 400 reais, plus the 1 hour trip there.

I got scheduled with Veron to start my tattoo on day 15. I’m going for full black and gray on a realistic style. I chose this because personally I prefer black and gray, and I think it’ll be harder for me to just “stop liking” it, if you know what I mean.

I really don’t want to cluster a lot of things, even because it might end up looking like a huge mess when I get old and the tattoo starts to lose all its crispness.

I’ll see if I can go to a tattoo artist today, I saw some of his work on facebook and he seems great, won some prizes for realism (which I think is the hardest of all styles) and all.
I’ll make sure to post pictures when I get it done.

maybe something like that, coming from behind the skulls, maybe out of them, as if it was growing out of death?
