At this point with the doors closed, I’m thinking of a guy hanging from the running board. A certain audience? I have no response to that.

Regarding your body, I would gladly be an audience, participating audience, of course.

I actually assumed you meant just that.

Ha! Man, I got yards and yards of things to shave and…[Read more]

What would you think of a man dangling from the VW over the raptor’s mouth?

I think “car people” would get the joke. I like it, but it does play to a certain audience. (So does my body.)

@Sam-I-Am 131178 wrote:

That’s good! Do you have a probation period?

No not really but I have to work for 3 years before I can become a full fledged journeyman I have over 25 years experience. I’m not bitching though because it is still more money and bennies than my old job.

It’s a velociraptor. This is just the start. It’ll get colored, several smaller raptors in the background etc. Probably end up covering most of my back.

Aha the little annoying fuckers that attack and strip everything 😛

Looking forward to the additions 🙂

what do you think the estimated cost of a full back tattoo would be?@Sam-I-Am 131069 wrote:

When a tattoo artist draws a specific tattoo for you most will charge you a deposit that goes to the cost of the tattoo. This covers their time should you go someplace else. They may give you some rough sketches, but the actual artwork probably won’t leave…

Is it possible to go get it drawn up but from a couple different artists and then I can choose the best?@Sam-I-Am 131057 wrote:

That’s what they do. Tell them your thoughts and let them utilize their creativity. You’ll get a kick ass tattoo.

I’ve never heard of finger waves.(although I have waved my finger in the past) It works in your tattoo though. I like it.

It’s a type of old-fashioned hair styles. Watch movies before 1950 and you’ll see finger waves all over the place. I think it’s really beautiful, elegant, and feminine, but I’m a lazy little bitch who…[Read more]

Yes do you have a menu? Do we order ala carte or by the pack.

It looks great. Is there some significance to the blue hand / fingers in the water?

No just an idea he had for literal “finger waves” and just having a pointing hand guiding the ship but blending with the waves. He said he had an idea and I said go for it so it has a unique spin on a classic design. My gf doesn’t like the…[Read more]

To the best of my knowledge it is the liquid soap used to remove the blue ink from stencils. (or sharpie markers) Green soap is a brand name, and it is green.

That’s it. It is used throughout the tattoo to clean excess ink off. It has a very distinctive smell, and if I smell it I instantly think “Tattoo!”

Welcome to the forum!

You could start adding background, then other animals, birds, dogs, plants, trees, etc. Soon you’ll have a whole leg sleeve.

yep some background would go a long way with this….. Trees, grass other woodland creatures, flowers etc.

I’d say that pretty much covers it.

How much bigger are you wanting to make it?

You don’t need a lawyer to ask permission. Using other’s photos without permission? You may need one.

I mean like I said, most pictures have watermarks and things of that nature which I’m not exactly going to alter or anything like that. I guess I’ll think about doing any sort of entry covering specific artists
