i totally agree with S.Neill

nuf said……..

i am still waiting for the information regarding the norwich studio from josh but i will get it to you asap buddy

welcome to the forum, i did leave a comment but it was only a joking one, i would recommend covering it with some floral design like either roses or chrisanthemum

it will be ok to work within half an inch / 10mm of the work just done but if he hits the same place after only 2 weeks then there is a good chance of overworking, scaring or infection…… the artist should know that…. if he is a pro ??

awesome design and superb placement, just be careful about how far round the arm and how far down into the armpit the artist goes….. there are a couple of nippy spots but it is not a life threatening pain…

you could put “I love” above it and “tmas” after it with a portrait of santa :p

i hate to put a downer on things but unfortunately Karl is in benidorm spain where he owns K-Tattoo but he is an amazing artist and this i can vouch for…. he is a very good friend of mine.
K’s Premium inks are fantstic, i will never stop using them, i have some work done by Karl himself while he was staying over here in england and the…[Read more]

i am presuming that this is not freshly done as 2 weeks is way too soon for it to be worked on again, the healing process needs about 6 wks before working the same area again…… :confused:

try adding a larger image, 600 pixels wide is just right

hey man its a little late at this present time but tomorrow i can get you a number and name for a fantastic artist in norwich…. my mate works at his studio but the owner does exelent coverups and loves stuff like koi dragons ets…. im sure you could gain from giving him a ring….. im 4 hrs drive from you so i am a bit too far out the way

to be quite honnest it looks to me like you should have gone to either a shop or somebody with more experience, the whole piece looks like a kiddies colouring book, the shading looks very choppy and the outlines are inconsistant.

if that was one of my pieces then i would have at least powerlined the koi and the lotus, possibly all of it, added…[Read more]

nomater how good the artist is, that is a very hard and near on impossible to cover without having laser treatment which is expensive…. i would reccommend like matthew has suggested about the lattice and reworking of the tears.

or there is an option of having other pieced near it with only the top half showing, then have water flowing around…[Read more]

i am sure it will all go to plan, i hope you show us what it looks like when its been done

looks pretty reasonable where your getting it done, i presume you have seen a proper prtfoio and not just the ones on the website ??

why do blokes shave their legs ?????

shaving a tattood area is fine, you wont cause any damage to it at all, but remember to put sun block on it if you go out in the sunshine as it will fade the ink…

cheers mate, i missed that one 😉

welcome to the friendly forum mitch !

it looks like a nice piece, where did you find the artwork from ???
it would be better to see it before you printed it out so to speak.!!

choose your artist well, dont go to anyone who’s portfolio you aint 100% happy with 😉

great post matthew

two perfectly answered replies 😉
