Wow, aren’t you tough.

Fwiw, knee ditch.

i really wish i was more up to date with internet slang coz i have no idea what this says? lol

well that must be very disappointing for all you pervy boys 😛 lol

the one with the lighter shading is a little girl and the one with the darker shading is a boy though (representing me and my husband) so i dont want to get blue on both coz it would make them both look like boys but i dont want blue on one and pink on the other because then it will just look crap lol

i dont know who venom is as im not a comic book buff but it looks pretty sweet to me!

i never know who knows who so i just thought i would clarify lol i dont know many names myself so i just pretended i was talking to myself lol

lol i knew you were gonna say that lol

i thought about colour but i think they look better without i dont think they’re the right style for bright colours. dont worry you’ll be much more impressed by my next one buttwheat 😀

any chance a moderator can sort out a “like” button? lol

This one didn’t turn out so well

LOL! oh dear! a little bit of colour maybe, most of those have just little bits around them like the bloods splatters or the bits of colour shading and coloured tshirt on the little boy, but these are beautiful 1950’s esque black and white portraits 🙁 i guess if you wanted some…[Read more]

i think there’s another thread with a poll about this but i’ll answer anyway as im up!

RIBS!

i think a lot of the ones you see in pictures are drawn on for fashion shows etc, mainly due to the fact that it is, as already stated, incredibly difficult to keep a continuous straight line with a tattoo gun on something as unstable as skin, i have a friend who was going to do it and the artist warned her about all the problems and so now she…[Read more]

i also have some script, personal to me, in another language and i went for my right ribs, it suits me just fine there because i can see it whenever i want to (a bit awkward but i manage) but at the same time its not where randoms int he street can see it and go “what does that mean?” lol just a warning, although i am really glad i went for the…[Read more]

my first question would be why the top of your thigh? is it because you have other tattoos and this is all the space you have left? because if you have other areas available there are places better suited for the amount of things you’re looking for. placement is entirely up to you of course but the tops of your thighs seems like an odd place…[Read more]

the only thing i thought was that you have lots of “spots” of shading, the whole thing is b+g and then you have 3/4 random green spots? if you put the red in and some more of the gree i think then it would fit better but glad you’re happy with it 🙂

So come on then wardy, what’s next?? lol x

would you maybe just consider a colour piece elsewhere? you have an awful lot of skin elsewhere that you could fill up with some amazing colourwork! *cough* BACKPIECE *cough* lol

i think the problem is that, because you have such lovely photo real portraits if you start adding traditional style roses they might overpower the image a bit, a lot of portraits with florals that i have seen are usually bright colour portraits or traditional style portraits, would you consider a different kind of flower to roses maybe? then…[Read more]

it would really help to see your work and specifically the tattoo you did on the girl who’s now kicking up a fuss. do you have any pictures that you can put into your album for us to see? x

i cant open that link you put up but it sounds like there’s an awful lot of different elements you’re trying to put together. an iron fist or hammer and some script like what you propose would go together in an awsome black and grey stule with lots of shading and detail, but putting a huge colourful rainbow and other feminist things which i…[Read more]

lol Thank you. I do appreciate the comments.

I see what you mean by the shadow appearing to be random and coming from one light source.
I also agree and understand what you mean with the white not holding up for very long.
I intend on the colour locations more closely resembling the Canadian flag(Red on outside of each…[Read more]

meh, you’re right, flames are “iffy” they tend to be overdone and not very good and if you plan to extend to a sleeve at some point you need to be aware that the wrist area will be the part that is on show to the public the most so i would start at the top of your arm with your ideas and work your way down, what will be will be. i think putting…[Read more]

why would you come on to a tattoo forum, with a whole heard of artists and serious enthusiasts and then argue about whether you agree when you have no experience of your own to draw upon?

if i were you i would wait a few years go and see ceasar because standardissue’s sleeve is FRICKEN AWESOME! well worth saving up for ages to be able to wear…[Read more]

i have deja vu, im sure i commented on this thread elsewhere like a month ago?

am i going crazy!?
