Hi Holydale

Those would make an excellent tattoo. I particulary like the first link picture the facial expression is great.

As for adding a penis if you want to be accurate the tigers would have to be much bigger in size and have broader paws.

I believe those are tigresses (which are equally beautiful) but are much smaller than their male…[Read more]

Hi

I have seen a few Tree of Life tats and have yet to be dissapointed with them.
With the right artist they make a great tattoo.

Interestingly enough part of the psychology exams for ppl who want transgender operations has shown a strong affinity for the drawings of trees etc as meant to be a representation of female personoa.

Not that i am…[Read more]

I am usually healed with 7-10 days (it might be longer on my next one as I am getting older).

Showing mine off depends on where I am. If I am with family I tend to keep em covered up as cannot be fussed with the argument.

Same is said for many of my friends. Some of my friends wives have become obssessed about my arm and leg tattoos as I always…[Read more]

Hi

I don’t have sleeves but from my research everybody I have spoken with who has a full sleeve has put in a min of 30 hours.

Many are in the 40-50 hrs bracket.

Most arms can be sleeved if you find the right theme and style as you are filling the space on your arm with an artistic idea.

Many go for a single piece but several linked pieces also…[Read more]

Hi

Not a bad tattoo at all and is an unusual font style – gives it a jagged, cut into the flesh look.

My only constructive criticism is you could do with just a tad more shading and bolding on the inside of the letters.

I know it is a personal choice but I just think it would really make things stand out more.

Also if you wanted to expand (ink…[Read more]

To say it is crooked is extreme.

There are some small curves in the lines, but nothing drastic. The colour could do with a reshade to make it brighter.

I take it it was a free hand tattoo?

It is very difficult to get a perfectly straight line without a ruler so will get some slight curves.
That said some extra shading on the lines and more…[Read more]

Hi Holydale

All discussion of cocks and politcs to oneside for the moment,

The tiger sounds a great idea – I love big cat tattoos.
Are you going for a portrait style from a photo or the traditonal flash style?

As for a quote you could get something on the lines of ‘The future is uncertain, so seize the moment’.
Let us know what you…[Read more]

Hi

Hi Fatman

Welcome to the forum.
I am sure ppl would be glad to help but we need to know what it is you are after.

Post up an idea of what you want and we will see if we can bang some ideas out.

Shalom!

The idea is nice but I would have the writing done within a maged and then have the eye above or below it.
Maybe even get it all done in the palm of a hamza. So you could have the star and text and the eye on the wrist.

Hey KH

I was wondering if a cock hard arms would it still be a cock?

Then I:D realised my manager has both arms and legs so the answer must be yes!

Hi Saltlife

There is nothing wrong with getting last name tattooed although I am curious why?

The quote sounds great and there are many banners and fonts that would make it look sweet.

Both together could work but my feeling is that the name would have to be incorporated within the banner otherwise may look like 2 separate tattoos.

Hi

Tattooing style is a very personal taste and some will love the art and other hate it.

The things that you are looking for in a portfolio;

Can they draw? If the pics look a bag of shite in your eyes don’t bother.

Is the work theirs or has it been added to by other artists?

Does the artist have any examples of the style you want? (If not…[Read more]

Hi it is rare that I refuse but on this occasion…

HELL NO!

You are 13 there is no damn way I will encourage you to get a tattoo and if anybody did assist I would want them beaten, tarred and feathered, beaten again, then made to eat their drawing.

Hi

I am glad you are laid back sort of person because to be honest your post is going to attract a lot of negativity.

Although I am sure in your mind that you are ready for your tattoo there are several issues you should consider about this.

The tattooist doing it could be arrested for causing grieveous bodily harm or wounding with intent on a…[Read more]

Hi

As Izarrasink has sattd you need to be able to show you have skills in all mediums of drawing.

I would personally develop a portfolio that includes;

Black n shade pencil

Water Colours

Inks

Charcoal and crayons.

These should at least cover the 3 main areas of ;

Portrait/still life

Fantasy

Old School Flash

This will show the…[Read more]

Hi

I am not saying that a tribal skull is a bad idea (if you like it then do it), what I am saying is getting it on your hands/face/neck is a bad idea for employment prospects.

The issue about pinning up the design is so that you are sure it is what you want and saves expensive (and pain removals) or cover ups later.

Matthew

Gratz on getting it done.

Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Hi welcome to the forum.

I have been to Goa years back and it was a great place to visit.

Hi Sw1pe

I have to ask is this your first tattoo?

I am happy to help with you search for skulls but personally I would not recommend getting your hands done – getting a job is damn hard as it…[Read more]
