i like it even more now i know the reason, i think that’s really lovely and send us pics of your brother’s one when he gets his too! make sure he goes to your artist because he’s great! 🙂 x

hi, welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about your boys but its lovely that you want to memorialise them. do you def want to include their names/initials? you can look at hearts and flowers and scrolls? angel wings rather than an angel? teddy bears holding hands with their names on their bellies? it depends really on the kind of style you like.…[Read more]

ah she’s a cutie! hte hand could look odd if the tattoo composition isnt spot on so just be aware of that, otherwise get whatever you think will do your gorgeous girl justice. people will always have a different interpretations of your tattoos than you regardless what you get so i really wouldnt worry too much 🙂 what kind of flowers? i think you…[Read more]

hi welcome to the forum, that’s a pretty daring tattoo for your second ever one! the chest can be pretty narly!what are you planning next? 🙂 x

hi welcome to the forum, i love ship tattoos, when a really good artist gets their hands on them they can be real works of art! is it just the ship you’re getting or are you having other elements incorporated? 🙂 x

you could just dedicate a few pages of your notebook to drawing straightlines in different mediums if that’s something you struggle with? 🙂 finding a subject matter that you really like helps too, if you find it boring or uninteresting its very easy to get bored and therefore never get any better 🙂 feel free to post some sketches 🙂 i find that…[Read more]

tattoos are seriously shit so props to you for getting such a big piece there! mine hurt like fuck, no way i’d sit there for 2.5 hours through that! im too much of a wuss lol i thought the same of the shading, i understood the purpose but it just wasnt quite right because of the line across the bottom where it joins the knee so it looks like part…[Read more]

i’ve never seen anything like that before but it kinda works! tbh i would leave it alone but if you want to add to it desperately then im sure someone will have some ideas for you 🙂 can i ask you what gave you the idea for this? 🙂 x

I’d like to see that thing a bit further back. Might make the skin a bit less distracting 😀

Butthead’s post made me wonder though… I wonder if it’s easy for laser operators and tattooists alike to work on themselves? I mean… I’m not sure I’d be able to willingly cause myself pain. At least when someone else is…[Read more]

Biomech tattoos

Hell, if you’re really stuck, there’s some biomech in my album!

If you can’t find inspiration in that lot then just go for a big Black star 😉

what he said, lol! there’s only so much we can help lol

my geography is terrible! i have no idea what you just said! lol is that like a country?! lol sorry i cant be more helpful but you could be at the north pole right now for all i know! lol x

at the end of the day, its a koi fish, not a swastica, if it was me i would just get what you want, its your body, do what you like, and if the guy is offended that’s his problem not yours, it doesnt effect your ability in the sport nor his ability to teach you (nor should it!) good luck with your tattoo and make sure you post up some pics when…[Read more]

HI! welcome to the forum, i love ink but i have to say im not a fan of bikes, my dad used to be a cop and he has some hideous stories of motorcycle accidents that just put me off for life! lol but im glad you have a lot of interests that you can be passionate about, everyone needs a bit of passion in their lives 🙂 welcome again xxx

hi welcome to the forum, what is your current tattoo of? 🙂 x

that’s why panter gave you a google reference for a style plus an artist will do the best job at this, do some googling and you’ll see what we mean, there’s so much out there

??? if what we have already said hasnt answered your question then i must have misunderstood your meaning? what exactly are you wanting us to say short of drawing up the rest of your sleeve?

i have to say i agree with wardy, if you get a whole arm of shading like that you might as well just tattoo yourself black and then where would be the point in that? but i guess if that’s what you like then that’s all that matters x

was gonna say the exact same thing lol on all counts, deffo get a bit more detail in there, there’s so much you can do with this kinda sleeve to not utilise that space effectively would just be a waste 🙂

fish are awesome, who wouldnt like fish? you could put some anemone’s or an octopus, starfish, allsorts your not limited! 😀
