Hi S. Neil

You not seen many in the USA??

Wow I have seen plenty around the UK and Nottingham’s Rock City is one of the best rock clubs ever.

As for the size of the tattoo you are talking around 3 inches in size at least if you want decent size font (10 or bigger)

Good luck!

Hi

Sorry for your loss there is a lot of senseless violence and shit that goes on in the world.

I had an idea that would incorporate both ideas into one tattoo.

Instead of a locket you could perhaps have a heart shaped pocket watch with one of the hands on the face broken off showing how time stopped with the news of your loss.

Hi

First of all this whole thing of ‘luck’ is nothing more than random odds of sometimes millions to 1 of for or against. It is attributal factors that can physically effect the outcome.

The fact of the matter is if you are gonna get hit by say a car the factors that would accelerate your odds would be factors such as;

Weather conditions

Hi

The red dot is where the base of the folicle is irritated as it has been producing excess liquid to keep the damaged skin moist.

The hairs on your body are hollow and pump a liquid to protect the skin which acts like a barrier. These can become inflamed if the body has been subjected to infection or foreign bodies.

Do not pick at them and…[Read more]

Hi

Yes it is more than possible to get these done – any reputable artist would be able to do that for you.

Not the best example but you could use these two smaller style dragons wrapping around the edges of the western dragon in the colours you wanted

This is not western but you could have a similar style for the ying yang…[Read more]

Hi and welcome

Well what you have to think about is how big do you want to go small tattoo to full backpiece?

Do you want colour or black n shade?

Where do you want it?

By drops of water you could have leaf (or leaves) with water dropping from it through to a koi and river/waterfall scene.

Really depends what your tastes are.

Hi

I was suprised you asked – if somebody butchered me there is no way in hell I would go back.

I would suggest letting the tattoo totally heal and use that time to save up and let a pro at it.

Hi Joker

You know in all seriousness that is an issue I have heard where some zones have different laws so it can literally mean a different law on one side of the street to the other.

Anyhow I am making a start on it as my other project is getting shelved as I am waiting on copyright verifications that take an age.

Who was the artist?

Hi

You will need a language specialist it could mean something that is gender specific.

My advice is look up the various prayers and blessings get a language translation and design your own in a similar style.

This may take some work on your part but at least that way you will know exactly what your ink means.

Hi

The reason you would have to fairly big is to stop the words from blurring into the star and it becoming a big inky blob.

Tattooists can tattoo copyrighted images – it is technically illegal but there has been no case I can think of where a company has sued for damages over a copyright image tattoo.

What are they going to do – force you to…[Read more]

Hi Fark

Without meaning to be awful what you are requesting is around 15-20 hours of solid drawing for a full detailed backpiece.

Coupled with that it may only be a possible tattoo as opposed to a definite one I cannot see any artists jumping to do that for free.

If you are serious about it I would recommend a portrait artist who will measure…[Read more]

Lmao!

I love that one.

Hi

I like it and for the age it is damn good condition!

Looking at the outline thickness those needles must have felt like barbed poles 😮

I would def give it a fresh outline and some new colour over the orange – purple will def work and give it a new lease of life.

I personally can picture her standing beneath a cherry tree with falling…[Read more]

Damn I am sorry about that.

I usually associate crosses with a person’s passing and thought you meant a dedication of memory.
