i would wait till you’re in your 20’s personally, what you like and what at 16 is completely different to when you’re 21+ and that’s why some places now say you MUST be over 21, 18 in most places, but the older the better in my opinion. i know that if my kid asked me for consent at 16 i would say absolutely not, its irresponsible. and i have them…[Read more]

would you just have roses or would you be planning to put some other elements in as well, just roses might be a bit much? also would you then be planning to put something around your grandfather’s portrait also? as otherwise you have gone from two matching symmetrical sleeves to one and a portrait? 🙂

Lol!!!!!!!!

i think your options here are leave it alone or laser it im afraid, there is just sooo much black work that to add anything else to it would just make it a big black smudge im afraid, i think you’re probably best not adding anything else tbh x

i genuinely cant see a picture anywhere lol have i missed something here? lol x

i dont like the tattoo at all im afraid, its only my opinion of course so not meaning to offend but the skull isnt exactly detailed or particularly well done, the flower is ok but the skull ruins it especially as they are 2 completely different styles and could have been put together much better and the red square behind it looks like an after…[Read more]

lol i’ll let you know how it goes but he seems well worth it to me! 😀

im stupidly excited but had to put the deposit on hold because of christmas so im hoping to contact them again this week to arrange something 🙂

Not much you can do with a cross really.

dont listen to this, a cross is such a standard symbol these days that you can put so many other elements with it and it still not look jumbled or wrong, msmercury has given you some great ideas already. flowers scripts allsorts can be put with these…[Read more]

here is his portfolio gallery, and there are some in my albums too xx

bez at triple six studios in sunderland (north uk) im gonna have to travel 5 hours to get to him but he’s agreed to do my lower back piece this year, appointment to be confirmed once i have paid the deposit, yet to find out how much he’s gonna charge for the tattoo :S 😀 lol

i agree with the above comments, with a name like “inkedbydabest” you really have to then be inked by the best which i dont think this guy is, they’re right the colour and shading has hidden a multitude of sins within the poor linework but overall its ended up not bad.

ribs are shit, still to scared to go back and finish mine! lol

that looks awesome! she must be dead chuffed! 😀

wardy i give a shit what i’ll look like thanks very much! lol 😉

All the more reason to get the best possible artists the first time around! 😀

im sorry you waited so long for that, its messed up, there are so many awesome things you can do with comic book heroes these days, for example from my next artist…

they’re looking pretty good babe, tbh i would be begrudged to add too much to them as they look pretty sweet as they are! up to you of course but they look really nice and classic like that 🙂

i think a decent artist would have refused to do something like this tbh, really good artists would have a vision and go with it tbh so i think its just as much the artists responsibility to let you know when a tattoo is gonna look messed up :S

i dont see any problems with adding some colour elements either, as long as you are sensible about the style and colours you use to fit with the style of portrait you have i dont see it being and issue 🙂 x

i may be wrong but there may not be a specific nme for that so i would just find some examples and take it to your artist and let them do their own interpretation 🙂 good luck x

hi, welcome to the forum, do you have any tattoos? x

wow, you’re artwork is amazing! if you cant get an apprenticeship in malta maybe consider travelling elsewhere to somewhere they will help you? in the meantime keep producing this stuff because its absolutely fabulous! 😀

they might be coverable it depends on what you wanted tbh i’ve seen worse covered, you may have to consider laser treatment in some of the problem areas but if you intend to cover it all the way to the elbow anyway some clever shading and image manipulation might make it possible. I would look up a far better artist than the one that did these and…[Read more]
