huh, that’s weird :S guess i dont deserve thanks these days! lol Arni? any ideas?? lol x

i like black and grey but i like well executed colour too so never say never! this is really pretty, congratulations! no one ever stops at one! lol x

i feel like i just stepped back in time…

get what you like and are comfortable with hun, whatever things appeal to you, research them and styles and artists and spend a few months thinking about one design, if after a few months you’re still considering other designs then wait longer until you find something you’re super happy with.

im currently attending university and dont have to take anything other than my “majoring subject” but either way if he says there isnt one available there isnt one lol i was offering an alternative source. just let him get on with it, if he wants to draw some pictures, let him draw, no harm.

Quick update, we’ve decided on a bird of paradise on my left side, gettin the deposit in to him next week and should be going to see him in 6 weeks, exact date pending… Very very excited! Not for the rib part, not looking forward to that again at all lol but when it’s done I just know its going to be an outstanding piece of work that I will be…[Read more]

guys, can i remind you, the kid is 18 and asking for advice, you dont need to ear rape the poor sod.

there are often free or very cheap art classes in local community or youth centres (not all colleges make you take a humanities class) you can also buy books on the basics of drawings these will help you to learn that you do not draw what you see,…[Read more]

i actually really like the wing too! glad you’re happy, it looks awesome 🙂 x

i find an image or symbol that appeals to me and go with it, i have a heart, some text, two swallows and about to be booked for a phoenix with one artist and a photo realist piece of some butterflies with another, i like wings apparently… things that fly really appeal to me, especially the way the translate into tattoo… i dunno, it wasnt…[Read more]

same, sorry hun but dont want my personal details logged somewhere :/ if you can post it somewhere accessible then i’ll happily fill it in for you x

will do, we’ve decided on birds to continue my theme and now we’re pretty much thinking, sod it we’ll do the phoenix i wanted here rather than trying to find something else. exciting stuff! 😀 will post pics as we go as soon as i have something solid, will keep you all updated on dates 🙂 x

had a really good conversation with him today, we’re toying with the idea of giving him my right side to jazz up some decoration around my script and he’s gonna put together some ideas, i told him i was happy to give him free reign design wise and just gave him a few things that appealed to me as a reference point and he’s gonna have a play around…[Read more]

im currently in talks with Steve Prizeman at Eternal Art, he does a lot of colour portrait work including some of these and he is currently work to a 2-3 months waiting list depending on size and day you wish to see him etc, may be worth looking at him yourself…[Read more]

none of it really stands out to me and makes me say wow that’s amazing, i would say it was average though, not terrible, some of the stuff on those galllery pages is pretty dreadful which would worry me a little, and oddly a lot of the stuff in each of the three artists “colour” galleries seems to be very similar in terms of their techniques and…[Read more]

Will Phoenix become the new koi, i like them also 🙂

quite frankly im not bothered lol i just have a thing for bird tattoos lol i wouldnt have a koi coz i dont like fish, not because they’re popular lol as long as its not the exact same one as someone elses its still a unique piece of artwork so that’s fine by me 🙂 x

agreed, you wont be able to cover that with anything other than more solid black and where’s the point in that?

im gonna stop at that before there are more comments about the badass remark lol laser is the way forward here hun x

because i live in the area and everyone i know who says it comes out with average tat lol i could be jumping the gun of course and if they turn out to be an exceptional undiscovered talent then i shall eat my words im sure, but if you want one of these and there is a renowned artist within a couple of hours drive, why would you look elsewhere? lol…[Read more]

find a better artist, a local one you’ve found wont do it justice. i have pm’d you back but i might as well tell you here, be patient, and wait for corden, it’ll be worth it once you manage to get an appointment 🙂 x

This concerns me a little… the caterpillar from the labrinth in your photos is on Bez’s portfolio page… :/

i planned mine since i was 13 and then when i was 24 i went and got something different lol im still “planning my first tattoo” technically, because other things have cropped up since and i want my “first tattoo” (not literally obviously but mentally) to be perfection which i why i am waiting on bez 🙂

unfortunately my real first tattoo, was ok…[Read more]

i think they look good in either but… i so much prefer the colour for these, i think it gives them just that extra something that really makes them stand out. I hope you are planning to use an artist as good as those in your examples! 😉
