Not really a fan of tribal…but it pays my bills. Everyone seems to want it. Read a story not to long ago about a body builder who had like half his face done in tribal. Went to an island where the native tribes all identify with tribal work, turns out the body builder’s tribal said he was a princess for a rival tribe. Thought the story was…[Read more]

No no no, I do have some training, just the basics though that were taught to me by my father, I am currently looking for an apprenticeship that I can afford, they want me to have my own supplies though, so I am looking for good equipment.

Welcome to the forum, glad your here with us. We look forward to seeing your ink. Chime in and join the conversation whenever you want.

I agree, a good artist can cover work without having to resort to solid black…most of the time. I just did a cover up where that didn’t work though. I ended up having to use tribal to cover the work. It was simply too bold and too dark to cover any other way. Especially where it was located.

Anyway, keep us posted on the cover up, and good…[Read more]

Look Comet, I checked out the link you gave in your post for this other studio. They have some great work…but to be honest, I don’t like their Koi work at all. There are two Koi on the site, with one, the calico spotty look just doesn’t work. I simply don’t like it. The other one I don’t like the way it is done. The colors don’t blend…[Read more]

The dragon Koi will work as a cover up. I would STRONGLY suggest using color. since you already have red that you are trying to cover, I would say use red and oranges with a hint of yellows. Just a heads up, in Japanese culture…the folks that developed the Koi, they consider it an ill omen for the Koi to be pointing down. A Koi swimming…[Read more]

I have to agree with Outlaw.

On the surface you have a nice sleeve. It is a well done PATTERN. I’m honestly not trying to be insulting or harsh in any way, but I’ve been an artist for twenty years. If this was one of my apprentice’s work, he would have gotten chewed out from one end of my shop to the other and back again, and then he’d have…[Read more]

Any luck on finding an artist yet? If you need one in the Norfolk area, ask Outlaw or Sherev. I’m sure they can lead you in the right direction. If your close enough to Outlaw…and I’m not sure exactly where he is over there, then go to him.

If you are planning on covering that you might as well plan an entirte shoulder to elbow piece…in my opinion.

Here’s my suggestion. Leave the name and tattoo a VOID stamp in red ink over the top of it. That’ll make a point, get some laughs and always be a reminder of how truly temporary most relationships are these days.

You can go to any…[Read more]

welcome to the forum crazyhorse…. so which studio ya working at ???

He’s not in a studio Outlaw. He posted under General Discussion asking for tech tips on how to shade. i told him the discussion was forbidden and Izzarasink closed the thread.

This is REALLY funny:D

So…from Nu Joyzee huh?

Well, I guess we’ll welcome you anyway, so, Howdy from down South Texas way. Look forward to conversating with you. Look forward to seeing your pics.

if I was doing it, it would run you about $600.00 USD

Oh yeah, the picture has a flash glare on it, but from what I can see, I like it. Pick a good artist and pay for it. Don’t go second rate.
