My quick thoughts. I went with a tribal design on my right arm and not yet done with it either. I love the work that has been done, but like others have said over time some of your opinion might change. For instance I still really enjoy the tribal design that I have, but want to add more to it than what is there so that it isn’t a flat black piece…[Read more]

Currently stuck between some Kittie, Black Label Society, Drop Kick Murphys, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Butler Trio, Lady Hawke, Morcheeba, and Mother Mother. Kind of a mix of everything really. (except dubstep, techno and trance can’t seem to get into that no matter how hard I’ve tried )

Mi9nes not on my back nor is it anywhere near being finished, but just to share. The tribal piece that starts on my neck and works its way down to my arm (again needs lots of work to finish) was done on a Thursday afternoon finished by 5 or around that time. I left the next morning at 4:00 to do a 18 hour long drive back home. Had to put a bit of…[Read more]

Also I’m one of those odd ones that like tribal so I like that tat too!!!! 😀

You should really work this all out with the artist. He knows his style and abilities. One thing is to allow him to do the work at his pace, don’t rush him because you are anxious. Also the sleeve can flow many ways, so it be a good idea to ask him what he would envision the sleeve to look like. This lets him to work with his own creativity and…[Read more]

No red, but makes me worry about getting any red tattoo work in the future

Thanks! I didn’t realize that an allergic reaction could manifest, some time after the tattoo was given. Guess I gotta just deal with it, and hope that it goes away eventually

And why do you say that? its the way the picture is taken. everything is uniform and lined up right. lines are all solid and connected. it was just me trying to take a picture which makes it look different and not right.

You have a tough time remembering your name that you need a reminder?????

That looks pretty decent IMO especially for a first. With it being so large I might have tried for more detail on the guitar myself. But do keep us updated as it progresses.

I was referring to BossNass. Not wanting a flame war or anything, but I was curious what kinda work appeals to him. I fully get why people dislike tribal so much. Its something I like and that’s why I got it, not because I thought other people would like it. There is a ton of other work that I would love to get. I just can’t see myself getting any…[Read more]

You say people with tribal are boring and that tribal are shit, and you pick apart other tattoos posted here, but you don’t show your tattoos, why is that????I have plans on my legs for other type of work , just not sure how I’m gonna go about it just yet.

That’s a pretty groovy piece of work there man!! That mask does look bad ass IMO

I think that many tattoo enthusiasts see tribal as a waste of quality tattoo space. I love tribal artwork myself, always have. The many different styles out there make it so versatile. I do come from an aboriginal background, however find no tribal work related to my heritage that I find appealing enough for a tattoo. My tribal work probably…[Read more]

Yup I guess one can’t argue with that point. I know of people who did that with barbed wire bands an later went to cover them up. I myself always wanted tribal and waited 12 years (I’m 28) to get it just to make sure I wasn’t jumping on a trend. So yeah if a person is getting one on a whim because they think it’ll look cool or a buddy has one then…[Read more]

My thoughts are to get a picture off google and get your artist to work with you for interpretation. As far as the whole tribal hatred bull…..err drama. I’d say get what suits yourself. If you are getting the tattoo to please society and its trends then you are getting it for the wrong reasons. There is always going to be people who will hate or…[Read more]

I’ve never heard of this myself, but I would certainly like to see a picture or two if you got any.

Actually I’ve been thinking of this too. Something that represents the same thing as the words. To sum it up I watched a few people around me become successful. When they got to a high point they gave up on their values, alienated friends, abandoned family. They had everything they wanted, and took it for granted. Some of them are worse off than…[Read more]

Well its a personal thing about my life so it belongs on more than a t-shirt. For you guys maybe not and that’s fine. I’m looking for ideas on how to have it inked not how to have it silk screened 🙂

That’s just un fuvkin believable. Real damn good artwork there, but how much of a fan do you have to be to go this far. I feel for her husband….what’s next little teeny popper girls getting Justin Bieber tattooed on thier backs

IS there any type of pen, pencil, or marker that one would use to test the colors??? Granted that the color wouldn’t be exactly what the actual pigment will look like, but more or less a way to test drive the color and see what I prefer.
