Thanks for the positive feedback!
Here’s some new stuff:

It says “Coffee, Ladies?”

This one says “Your money or your life!”

Sorry for bringing up this old topic but at last I got some better pics of the tat! Yay!

Jag har läst svenska för 8 år nu, but as I’m Finnish I _still_ can’t speak or write it properly… and as a matter of fact I couldn’t even be less bothered about it. No-one here speaks swedish except for those guys in Åland and whatnot.

Haha I love the sad black panther 😀
A classic!

A bird.
Should’ve left the background white instead of that light brown, oh well.

Comments are still welcome!

Some new stuff.
“Liskojen Yö” The exact translation would be “Night of the lizards” but really it means Delirium Tremensis “the shakes”.

Comments welcome.

Oh well, it ain’t that bad. A lot of my friends have said that it can be quite rewarding if you go there in the right mood ie. not taking stuff too seriously 🙂

Thanks! I’m really, really happy with this. Every time I look at it I’m like… DAMN this is goood 😀
The healing process has begun quite nicely. Old skin has started to flake off and a bit of scabs have appeared, but the artist told that it’s normal and shouldn’t effect the tat unless I scratch or rub it.
After this is completely healed I’ll go…[Read more]

Your tattoo looks great, it’s very original. Is your goal to become a tattooist in the future?

Thanks! Well I’d want to, but you never know 😀 In finland it’s extremely hard to get apprenticeship in a parlour, but I think I might give it a try after some years of drawing practice and after I’ve been to the army (every…[Read more]

very different , i digg it 😎
did you design it or your artist ?

The artist drew it basing on a few drawings of mine and this image: http://www.grim-fandango.com/image.php?image=/concept/concept3.jpg , but I told him that he could modify them at will. And so he did, and I’m very happy that he did 😛

Butterfly_Kisses: Yeah I’m aware of them burly sailormen. Maybe I’ll draw something up :).

Thanks for the feedback people. Go check out my first tattoo, cherry has been popped and so on! 😀 http://www.thetattooforum.com/first-timers-aztec-steamboat-t13220.html

Sherav: Yeah the eyes and the hat need some work also.
As my first tattoo I’m getting an old-school titanic-like steamboat with an aztec figurehead and faces on the funnel pipes(chimneys? funnels? whatever…) on the back of my forearm. Takes about five hours to finish and it costs like hell, but it’ll definetly be worth it as the sketch drawn by…[Read more]

Thank you for the feedback :)!

My friend turns 18 next saturday so I decided to do a birthday card for him.

The text says: “Happy Birthday Lauri!” in finnish.

I somehow managed to f*ck up the contrast in this one, but I’m quite happy with how it turned out.
The paper I’m using is still some low grade watercolour paper, so it began to “wear” as…[Read more]

They’re looking pretty good since you’re still in school. How old are you?
Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I’m 19.

Some more flash practice, made this few weeks ago.

This one is actually done on some low quality watercolor paper. I think the colors are better on this one but more practice is needed. That ribbon with the text(whatever it is really called my english vocabulary isn’t yet that good) blends too much with the background and that red globe behind…[Read more]

Butterfly_Kisses: Yeah it’s a jellyfish. 😛

JamesRussom: I’ve done them at class on my sketchbook. I think it’s basically only a bit thicker than the average copying paper, definetly not proper watercolor paper which I know I should use… but it’s just so damn expensive :D. I’ve been thinking on buying some proper watercolors and paper and start…[Read more]

Thanks for the warm welcome! 😀

I like old school-ish tattoos, 19th century prints, skeletons and such.
I’ve been sketching a black and white tattoo of a 19th century anatomy book -style skeleton with a funny hat dancing on top of a medieval town in flames. I’m not really sure yet what I’ll get inked on myself, but I’m pretty sure it involves…[Read more]
