You can send in recommendations for the list as well, I cant find the email address at the moment but it gets added to all the time

That app is made by our very own @peterpoose. Maybe he’ll see this.

Just looking at The Brag Art List, it mentions Jasmin Austin at Adorned Empire in Perth. https://instagram.com/jasminaus…[Read more]

Thanks!

I disliked your post by mistake and can’t undo it now lol

No problem mate!

I have used pictures from the net. I try now to give a theme and a few pics of the direction I want and let the artist do the rest 🙂

it’s good to give a theme and pics for direction. my favorite way. immediately clear that you need to draw and what people want in the picture

Those were not done by a good tattoo artist, sorry! The bird is ok, the foot one looks like it will last like a week….

hmmm that pic was when it was done…. here it is as of 5 minutes ago with no touchups done on it yet

im not gonna argue with you its obvious your a “Collector” who doesnt mind dropping thousands on…[Read more]

Sam you come up with some crazy ideas lol are you going to eventually get fillers or you leaving spaces?

Yes, peter. Eventually it will all be filled in.

Those annoying age spots were bothering me. Talking with Lindsay, she’ll put halos of red and orange around them, and just enough tail, to look like they are hot rocks…[Read more]

LOVE that. Nice composition and well executed, too. I really like that silhouetted lady at the bottom, nice touch.

thx it was my pick from a film noir painting a saw and the artist did the rest of the composition with the idea i had

They look great mate, why the vegetables?

Thanks. I am a chef. I have worked with food all of my life and am passionate about crop and seafood sustainability and supporting local farmers to maintain the ingredients (seeds and heirloom vegetables) that might not be around in the future.

Sorry don’t want to seem negative but so many people are uneducated about what real tattoo art is.

Thanks everyone, vet chuffed with it 🙂

I will be fine thanks 🙂

Soon as I get home I have Carlos, Florian Karg and Back to Silvano all in September 🙂

I’m looking forward to the pics!! They will help get me thru the next 27 days until my next appointment. Not that I’m counting or anything. Or excited. At all. 😀

Bigger is better 🙂

That’s what SHE said. 😀

I have like 5000. Artists to add still, making an android and apple app, invested like 10k already and have others working on the info but I have a plan for keeping it updated, surprises to come 🙂

Will be launching in September with just the basic part 🙂

Wow. Very interested. There’s definitely room for an app like…[Read more]

great stuff, more artists to add to the brag list. thanks for the heads up 🙂

You should check out Lowlife tattoo, Freaks tattoo parlor and purple pain tattoo in Trondheim, Norway as well. Some really great talent in this town!

Oh, added to my list; Alexis vaatete. Who I might get in with at London tattoo…[Read more]

I agree with this, although he did do a lot for using an unusual style but I don’t particularly think his work is that great.

Though he is highly over priced, he was and always will be a pioneer in b/g. So many people have copied and emulated his style. I agree his work isn’t what it used to be, but his paintings are…[Read more]

great stuff, more artists to add to the brag list. thanks for the heads up 🙂

How do you keep the list updated? Seems like the top tattooers move around a lot.

Melt black rubber until it becomes powder, mix with water, this is how they make ink in prison! 😸

One time this guy tried to tell me about using a lighter to burn a saltine cracker box and mixing the char with baby oil. I giggled and walked away.

As above it will lighten.

Personally mate, I think it looks a mess, sorry man 🙁

Agreed.. Maybe it is just the pic but it looks as if it is a flat tattoo that is going to turn into a blob

[lang=it]Thanks, I will check out that artists on the map! (:[/lang]

Why lol?

Stop watching Miami Ink!

Yes ever since Miami/LA ink everybody thinks they need some deep meaning bullshit for their tattoo.
When I applied to be on a show they wanted to know the meaning behind the tattoo , I made up a douche bag story they bought it hook line and sinker.

I like it! Think it needs a full back piece though lol 🙂

this x10.0

What forum post?

I posted a thread in the ink forum to show my tattoo and it said it had to be approved before its posted?

Check out his other amazing works lol

Hey man how long does it take for my forum post to show up?

I see the pictures just fine!

Why would you want to go lighter? I think this is still at a point that you can make it a beautiful tattoo with a watercolour theme.

Personally I would go really arty and add lots of splashes of subtle colours. White ink is not a good idea, its really meant too be used just for highlights as…

Looks OK, if I am honest, its a little boring and unigamitive and a waste of good canvas which if your planning on adding to down that side will piss you off 🙂

I was going to say pretty much the same thing. But my first tattoo was small and pretty boring, too. And I still love it. So don’t let us kill your excitement…[Read more]

There are many artists who specialise in this type of work 🙂

Welcome to forums, I like your attitude to not jumping in specially with first one 🙂

Great studio suggestion already but take a look at my signature link below on a PC 🙂

Thanks, I’ll have to check out your list

Lol no ofc not I was just trying to let him see the difference so he understands depth at the other end of the scale:)

Also not being funny but most of these so called best artists are accessible by most with some dedication and research and in the least sense an artist could be found relatively easily that would knock…

Here is some examples of depth against your tattoo, hope you understand the difference? 🙂

I tried to find similar ones to yours but then kind of just went a bit mad lol There are literally thousands I could have chosen though 🙂

to be completely fair, while i agree it is a little flat, you can’t really…[Read more]

Reported for using the F word!

I used it too but I was smiling.

I was naughty today and went to the beach and sunbathed!

Did you use protection? (sunscreen, not condoms)

Its a 70s dude !

70’s dude???? I thought it was SLASH from GnR

He did it for free so just thought fuck it!

That would work for me!

I follow this guy already! Stunning addition and flawless, congratz!

He posted that he was coming here just hours after I started following him, so I jumped at the chance. And I’m glad I did!

I said that was happening to me weeks ago and was told its my cookies.

Toss your cookies!

Looks ace mate!

Special thanks to you peterpoose and your brag list. That is what I used to find the artist.

I had an appointment with Nikko a couple of Months back but cancelled on him 🙁

You must have had a great reason because Nikkos shit is so fucking smooth. But I have never seen anything in person by him done in one pass just 2 and 3 pass stuff or fresh pics of 1 pass stuff

Welcome mate 🙂

Any tattoos? Pics?

Ya I’ve one. This is it.

Sorry but the tattoo is horrible to me, really wish people would research before getting tattoos:(

Ya u think that. But , i love it ^^

Looking nice a colourful! I guess your doing the whole leg bright colours?

Eventually it will combine with the lobster on my shoulder, and go down my arm. You should see the colors in natural light.

Well it was a bit random and it took me 3 days to get Arni to come out and have lunch with me but finally we got to meet up in the best burger place Reykjavik has to offer. An “Elvis Burger” and a “Kevin Bacon” later and 5 hrs of talking we finally parted ways. Arni it was a great pleasure to meet you and hopefully it will…

No worries mate, didn’t take it as a negative 🙂

Tys piece definitely influenced my piece, his side pieces are masterpieces!

Carlos has his own models and takes the pics of them in the clothes which kind of makes each one individual as they are real people, I can show you the real lady that mine is if you like?

Very choppy and slow on my laptop. I also now have to log in everytime i visit the page even with the box ticked 🙁

I would expect that to be a broken cookie. Have you tried cleaning out the forum cookies/temp files?

Why do people use anything other than water lol I only use luke warm water and its works perfectly!

Maybe because people have different types of skin and heal differently? I tried avoiding any products on one tattoo, and it healed horribly. My tattoos need ointment. As does my skin need lotion every single day during…[Read more]

Yeah its English lol How we normally speak 😛

Really? All I got is he likes tattoos and his girlfriend is sick

Yeah on that guy Tyedollars on Instagram? He recently posted a pic off both their tattoos next to each other. He’s got two ladies like that, as far as I can tell from his pics. So I’m sure they’re aware of the similarities ;P But I’ve kinda got that impression of the tattoos Carlos does, a lot of them are pretty similar.

How did you get hold of my pic?

I think it was on facebook. I bet you have fun packing your trunk!

I like it mate but for me personally the colours are too bright 🙂

My thoughts too peter.

Can we get rid of the minimum letter posting 🙂

pretty please, with sugar on top
