replied to the topic Long sleeved shirts in the summer in the forum General Tattoo Discussion

Wed, 26 May 2010 21:02:15 +0000

My half sleeve was started in February and finished in September. I didn’t wear sunscreen that summer and the bottom part that stuck out of my sleeve faded and changed color drastically. It was in the sun every day because it’s my left arm and while driving, that arm gets a lot of sunlight. When my artist finished my tattoo, he redid the color…[Read more]

I got mine when I was 28. I actually started it almost a year ago and finished it about two months ago. It’s a little soon for me to regret it. I think it turned out great. I’m also glad I didn’t get one when I was younger because I would have ended up with something that was more trendy and less thought out. I would have probably gotten a…[Read more]

I have no clue. If you go to his website (Click here), there is an option to email them and you can ask him.

I like the blue sky idea because it already looks like the candy and stuff on your arm is falling. What if you had the sky transition into a horizon and a green field that the candy is falling to? I like the green background on the girl’s elbow in the picture you posted. With the green grass, landscape, and sky, you could add any number of…[Read more]

The sky and clouds behind the bird still need to be done along with the bird’s right wing and the rest of the fish. On the bottom in the middle there are a few flames that need to be colored in too.

I want to reiterate what Matthew said about an “artist who specialises or has a lot of exp in animal portraits.” I’ve seen some really crappy bird tattoos on the net and some really kick ass ones. An animal portrait is nothing like a tribal tattoo, so make sure you’ve seen an example of work they’ve done that is similar to what you want and not…[Read more]

I really like the way this one looks. I mostly like the fact that it’s more than a picture on the surface of your skin and actually incorporates the fact that it’s on your skin into the artwork and appears as if the skin is torn back.
