In all seriousness – what is it?
A map? Of where? What does the star represent (other than a pentagram)?
It is neatly done but I am scratching my head.

Hi

I have seen this version several hundred times of varying quality.
In fact I think David Beckham’s angel tattoo must rate within the top 5 of copied tattoos around the world.

Whilst it is an awesome piece of ink you should consider getting something which carries your unique style as it is going to be on for life and it is going to be a big…[Read more]

That is a sweet looking tattoo.

Welcome to the forum.

I have removed your links and would suggest that if you want to advertise either speak with Turbosatan (owner) for advert space or put your link in your signature.

Further spams will result in suspension/banning.

Hi

The short answer is yes it can be done.

The longer answer is it can be done but will not look as good as the orig picture, or you will have to alter the orig to make it into a more tattoo friendly piece.

The reason is that the shadowing and shading there may not translate as well on skin even by a master artist. To get the tattoo to work the…[Read more]

Hi

The above are correct the armbands you see are not perfectly straight it is usually an optical illusion from a distance that our eyes fill in the errors because we know it is meant to wrap around. What we see and what we interpret are different things and it will alter when you get close up and really look.

You can have an armband no problem…[Read more]

Hi

The most common picture used for that was the artist Luca Giodano who I think simply called it ‘St Michael’. The tattoo is a modern interpretation of a famous oil painting. The orig is held in Germany and is quite stunning.

I would also recommend this artist if you like religious…[Read more]

Hi

Well it depends on what style you want for it whether it is truely traditional or contemporary/modern – some artists do specialise in Japanese style as their main.

Personal choice really but will look great with crane in flight.

Without being offensive it must have had strong feelings for the guy who forked out a lot of money for some custom ink.

Personally if I saw my ink on somebody and it was identical to my own I would be extremely angry with the wearer and the artist. I paid a lot of money for my ink because it is custom – if it was flash I would expect to pay a lot…[Read more]

It will look great done by a potrait artist.

You having the crane resting/standing or even fishing by a stream and the koi swimming past or flying in the air and looking down?

Hi Scott

The best thing to do is wait at least 6 weeks so that the area can heal fully. Otherwise you will end up butchering your skin and just leaving a scar.

Most stars can usually be fixed by a pro artist so I would advise starting to consult with artists in your area and check out their portfolio. Alternatively PM me your area and I would be…[Read more]

I think it would look great with cherry blossoms and crane tattoos are only feminine if the artist makes it that way in their interpretation.

It is same with any animal/bird you can ‘soften’ the features and make the eyes bigger etc to feminise the piece or not depending on tastes.

As for flowers etc I went for some big orchids on my backpiece…[Read more]

That is some awesome roses.

Kudos to your artist and to your wife for sitting through a painful piece like that. I don’t think I could survive a big piece on my side ribs.

Keep us updated it is going to look sweet when done.

I have a serious case of ink envy going on here…
That is going to be one really sweet sleeve when it is finished.

As for the order you get it done – since you have the planets lined it does not really matter which order goes first.

That said psychologically I would go with the gasses first myself because you can get more area covered in the…[Read more]

Aww thanks.

Actually I get a stacks of shit daily in my job and work with some right nasty bastards who break balls for a living. Which is why I totally understand your worries.

I had a guy today ranting about how is going to rape my wife and kill my family etc. I told him I was gay, my family are all already dead and I KNOW where he lives…[Read more]

Hi

You tried tracing them on a light box? For that idea I won’t be greedy I will just take half of your first born :p
