Welcome to the forum.
Sorry for your loss.

Hi Lulbert

Any decent artist can do whatever colour you wish – whilst most do have a black outline I have seen red, pink and even purple wings done in the past.

I would possibly suggest extending the wings to 3/4’s if you do not fancy a full backpiece.
The reason for this is the wings can look a little bunched up and if you are going for…[Read more]

Hi Toby

The font issue yes you are correct it is a personal taste and whilst it is not mine as long as you are happy with it. I was thinking if they have to rework the whole area to give you examples of thicker fonts or styles that may make the date stand out more and also an easier rework of the mistake.

The linework however – I was referring…[Read more]

That is looking sweet.

Hi Turbo

Actually from my research I found several methods – although no intention of testing.

1. The rubber band – fastened at base keeps the blood flow there but has to be released every 20 mins to stop it dropping off.

2. Viagra – Not as effective as ppl might think – gets it up but does not actually keep it there for hours on end. Max is…[Read more]

Hi Toby

That part of the tattoo will be easy to rework over and I would suggest maybe a different font to make the date stand out more.

This will solve two problems;

1. The mistake on the date.

2. The poor line work on the 23 – I do not mean to offend but that could be a lot better.

I tend to use this site as an example of some of the…[Read more]

Well my day….

Ok I am sad but think hey had a long life.

7:30 running late as buried the cat.

7:35 I go down to the communal parking and some bastard has stolen my bike.

8:30 I get to work (2 hrs late) to…[Read more]

Hi

Can I ask which artist and how long it took?

Thanks
