yeh I don’t tend to think of an idea and then find an artist I tend to pick an artist and then go, yep they can have this space and get something that is their speciality. when I contacted Nigel Kurt I just said I love your work I have a wings a weapons theme. Paid a deposit booked a date and only recently saw what he wants to do and its gorgeous.

Of course. A sleeve doesn’t have to be done all by one artist. I know a lot of people who have a themed sleeve but have 2,3,4 even 5 different artists work pieces together to make one cohesive sleeve. Do it that way in stages and then you get the best of both worlds, less money per go and no hard choices. If I ever went for a sleeve that’s most likely how I would go about it!

but the fallen zombies wont be on the treadmills coz they will fling them off like pancakes!

Ps; Helps to say which country you’re looking to get tattooed in 😉

They said they’re in the Midlands babe so I assume the UK! 🙂

You can just upload pics to your personal profile and then embed the link that it gives you to each picture into your post 🙂

I never really know exactly what im getting but I always give a theme and let them run with it, I don’t think I would just turn up and get whatever they hell they decided though, I have a very particular theme!

OK thats a lot of different stuff… thats not necessarily a problem but planning and position will be the difference between pulling it off and it looking a mess. Pictures of what you are talking about would definitely help yes.

You have an octopus on the top of your right arm, cool, so then you can fill the rest of that arm with coral and brightly coloured fish and seahorses and starfish/jellyfish, loads will go with that. No problem. You want a lion on the other side, also cool, but if that is put in as part of a jap dragon sleeve, will look off, unless its a japanese stylised lion… i would be more tempted to stick with the animal realism stuff on the top half and put the jap stuff on a leg so that it flows better.

Its an awful lot to juggle!

Fuck off with the spam bro… Don’t be that guy…

Look at cover up artists as recommended. A lot of big name artists wont do cover ups so the best way to go is to search people who make it their speciality.

Ignore this idiot^^

I’m going to have to get a whole lot better before I ever teach anyone. I would like to go back to the UK though. I was there a few years ago. I had a blast. I’d love to travel and tattoo over there.

Well when you’re ready feel free to be my yoda lol
