to be honest i would just go in and say “hi i want a lord of the rings themes tattoo to go here (arm, leg, back etc) and this is how much space you can use (full back piece, sleeve, half sleve, small pieve etc) i would like it to include some of the script from the ring and maybe some of these other elements and see what they come up…[Read more]

We dont celebrate the 4th July in the UK but just to share, I spent the day with my other half out on his Yamaha VMAX in the New Forest with all the wild horses 🙂

welcome to the forum. best advice for your first tattoo, you dont know what you’re doing yet so put it somewhere out of the way, if you want to start small small is fine, but at least be original which means dont choose random flash off a wall in your local shop, research artists, even small tattoos deserve to be done the best they can. You have…[Read more]

welcome, post a pic or put it in your album! I cant post pictures so an album is all i have (ahem… turbosatan??)

thank you for your incredibly detailed description though while we wait, was awesome :’)

Something like a forearm tattoo for a first one, especially if its quite big can be daunting at first. Especially in summer because it’s always right there on show unless you deliberately attempt to cover it. But dont worry about it, you’ll get used to it being there. My advice is that if you’re the type of person who is indecisive and unable to…[Read more]

i cant see any of the pictures but the comments definitely made me laugh :’)

I just bought a 2007 Mazda RX-8 231 in dark grey. It beautiful, very happy with it!

I woul post a pic but the forum still wont let me!

Any particular style? I can recommend countless amazing artists all around the UK but I dont know what style you’re after? I would look into people like… Bez at Triplesix Studios in Sunderland, Jakub Hendrix in Basingstoke, Prizeman at Eternal Art. And yes the travel is worth it to get excellent art. Yorkshire is in the middle of nowhere when…[Read more]

I have had comments and complaints from customers because of my tattoos but as of yet hasn’t stopped me getting a job, but saying that I work in Security and most bouncers these days are tattooed so I guess im just lucky enough to be in an industry where it’s accepted!

I dont know if it’s just me but it says there are no photos in your album :’)

Realism is an exceptionally hard style to master, you need to be so on point because the slightest thing will throw the whole piece off. Unfortunately (if you are the artist) you can long before you could walk here and this never should have been attempted at this stage. Parts of it have so much potential and other parts are just so off. Get back…[Read more]

I always say don’t design your own tattoos, choose elements that you want included, pick the space you want it to go and the style you like, then do your research to find an artist that specialises in that style and let them design it. At the end of the day they are professionals and they know how any design will work with your skin and the…[Read more]

uh oh…

Danger Will Robinson Danger!

Looking good buddy, I like this a lot!

I think people just need to know the difference between sharing their tattoo and asking for opinions. If you say this is my new ink and someone comments negatively you can say well, it doesnt matter what you think. But if you specifically ask what people think you can’t really then be offended when they tell you the truth.

Personally it wouldnt…[Read more]

It’s not really up to anyone else to tell you what they like, it’s going on your body so your opinion is the only one that matters. Though what i would say is be open minded. A design should be a rough idea that you pitch to a talented and capable artist so that they can create something unique that will fit the space on your body that you want…[Read more]

oh dear. I cant say I have ever gotten one and immediately regretted it but then i don’t generally live my life by wasting my time regrettnig things. I actually forget that I even have some of the sometimes and then i catch a glimpse of them and its like being reunited with an old friend.

I think you’re over thinking this. Societal pressure and…[Read more]

you’ve already seen it im sure!

hey, welcome to the forum! I have a friend that has a full colour japanese sleeve on his left arm and a full black and grey sleeve of a knight on a horse and some script etc on his right arm and it works just fine! At the end of the day as long as you do your research and use the best possible artists you cant go too far wrong. Trust them when…[Read more]

Do we have pictures yet? I’m intrigued to see the end result!
