the work shown here is ok, some good, some not good, gibson guitar sucks, as does the joker, the bio is fair,
you want a ton of work, I would find a better artist and pay by the hour, as peter has said your looking at a lot of time, two dragons wrapping around your bidy, plus all the tribal and kanji, I can see 50 hours

well glad you decided to hang around for sure

welcome to the forum,
octopus done in an unusual style, no real texture on his exterior, some cool shading, looks like it going to look nice

definitely extend this one into a half sleeve, looks nicely done but incomplete, doesnt fit the traditional polynesian style

glad you found us, why be normal, what is normal, be yourself,
we love to talk ink, so fire up a conversation anytime you like!

the current session was a big improvement, congrats

welcome to the forum,

the ink color that more people are alergic to than any other is red,
but the cause of most peoples problems is actually too much aftercare, smothering the piece, it cannot heal

yes please skip the star or web, kinda overdone,
I dont think most peoples skin would take a quote very well,
I have gods all seeing eye inside a rose on mine.

yup, walk in and say I wanna tattoo,

Cool, who is your artist

the piece has big potential, dia de los muertos is a day of color and celebration, I would like to see the whole thing color, sparrows would look great, roses, and the skull,
me, Im thinking sacred heart, thorned vines around it, beautiful orange flames and the old text is history

it could also do a radiating sunset or rise (kinda like my elbow…[Read more]

now dont get me wrong, there is a guy here in atlanta Vince Villavalzo a friend of mine who can cover it, with what I am not sure, he would give you ideas, as would the artist I mentioned Tim Pangburn who is in PA,
but these guys may be far from you, and the dollars for travel may not be in your budget, but there are very few people who could pull…[Read more]

from what I see it wont work on the left side for sure,
I go with Panters advice,
it aint good now, a failed fix up is just going to really difficult to handle

welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your stay

it would be very difficult to cover those wings, they are spread wide and cover most of your arm,

welcome, you came to the right place, we would be glad to help,

when you have a chance, lay it on us, pics prefered,

just wanted to say I love these, thank you and keep them coming

I think it is all good femine looking ink, well placed so far……….and the canvas is wonderful

I was wondering what the text was on your left lower hip

there is no better way to work this out than to go talk to your artists of choice, he is an expert at design, placement, color, line weights, light sourcing and no one could do a better job

lots of good artists in your area, Bez is fantastic, definately pass on this one, wow, inconsistant work, poor shading,
