I like it, nice solid

Im with you, I like going to differnt shops all over, meeting different artists, plus other guys who work at the shop, all part of the experience………….

you guys are messing me up, Im gonna book something this week, get off my ass

decent flow, nice piece, congrats

legs were not hard for me, both sides and back of my lower legs were no big deal, ditch behind your knee is horrible, knees are HORRIBLE most artists dont tattoo their knees, it is very difficult and very painful, thighs are a piece of cake, I did front, back and outside, no problem,

the guys are right, all tattoos hurt to a degree, this is a…[Read more]

darn, I guess me, buttwheat, wardy and yodaddy are presently enjoying our last day

I agree, being an asshole isnt productive for the site, brutal honesty is ok im my book, Im a little older and probably take criticism a little better than some, but I would say there are alot of thin skins around, I feel like we are walking on eggs shells…[Read more]

ditto,,,,,,,,,,,no artist worth his salt wants someone else to draw for him

color looks bad now, tattoo will be ok, looks like it is just scabbing now, not deep scabs either, like Wheat said, wait a good couple months and go get someone else to do it up

I felt the same way, I thought Josh Woods was on dope, no way dry wrap was going to work, he got me to try it, it does…………..why moisturize a wound that I am trying to get to dry out and peel as fast as I can……….if you wash with anti bacterial and dry during the day a few times that shit really dries out

I hadnt tried it till this…[Read more]

Im gonna give my 2 cents, hopefully our heavy hitters buttwheat, amok, wardy and yodda will step in………………………Ive been hanging in shops on 3 continents for 38 years, sometimes every day and at worst every other week I am in someones tattoo shop. I dont like the way text looks period……..it always looks kinda off to…[Read more]

yeah Baxter is always hard, he travels ALOT, NIkko too, but there are alot of others that can get you in,
if you shout out and area and style I am sure some folks can throw you some ideas

Josh Woods of Black 13 in Nashville recommends it as do alot of very talented artists, I have used it and it works great, no scabbing, my main objective is to dry as fast as possible abd peel quick, hopefully within 3 days, 4 tops

I think the example is too small for this piece to last 30 years
bigger is better

is Johan still sweden based? he does amazing work for sure

no doubt, his style is very unique and known world wide in the tattoo community

Me too bro, Im gonna get some of that, I think I will talk to Les next week, it will be small, dont have a space big enough to do his work justice, but maybe a rabbit I can sneek in somewhere

Hey to everyone on the forum, if you know somebody whos been knocking the hot ink out, post something up, some pics, a recommendation, let others know where…[Read more]

I have to say I saw some crap rated appropriately but then I saw some nice work rated a 5.3 and shit, thats not right, thats some kid playing games

Unfortunately a rating system that allows anyone to submit a rating will get some weird numbers, you may not like the artist, or his or her friends, the style of work, you may be in a bad freakin mood…[Read more]

Welcome Julie……….when you get a minute show us some ink shots

thats kinda what I am up to, finding some underdogs who are on the verge of becoming nationally known.

I think both these cats are well on their way…………that Les Collier octopuss looks like some Hoyer shit to me, even better, and the fox makes me think of TimmyB’s shit, good stuff……………………………………….., this is the…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum

always ask the artist………….none of us can say for sure………we can give you advice based upon the many hours of ink we have but artists work at different speeds, black and grey is much fatse than color, good work takes longer than cheap stuff………………but yeah, two hours tops black and grey, its not a big piece
