not all drawings work as a tattoo .

Especially if they are “quite complex and detailed”.

Well I agree with Moonchakka. It may of course just be the bad pics, but on those pics that tattoo looks really sloppy.

I don’t get it… is that a knee then? Can’t see where the bend in the leg should be coming from 🙂

Photo-Realistic and Fantasy is my preference. Love horror but don’t want to wear it, if you know what I mean 😀

I should think it would always make a difference.

If you have a canvas of 5×4″ and it stretches to 5×6″, it must distort the ratios of the image.

The tags for ALL the threads are nonsense. It’s just an auto-generated list of tags, stolen from it’s contents. This means that words like LOL are going to be very prominent 😀

So you basically want a full sleeve tattoo of… background?

The hole idea in this 1st one is to get a feel for tattooing, the pain during and afterwards is one of the things I’m curious about but the whole healing process is something I want to learn also. After this I will no doubt plan bigger and better things.

Sure.
This is the work of John Paul, the guy I want doing this for me. He is also a designer for CCP and he designed a lot of Eve Online‘s characters and ships and so forth.

I think the best thing you can do is find an artist that you like the look of their work and get them to draw you up something .
get busy making yourself a short list of artists and talk to them 😉 you will be able to get a feel if they are on the same “wavelength” :rolleyes:

Well, the entire (short)list in…[Read more]

even if it won’t work as a cover-up, you should get it done elsewhere anyway! Very cool.

Agreed! /me wants to see it in ink 🙂

Well, I figured that this tattoo would pretty much sleeve the arm, most of the way down to the elbow, but since it needs to be coming out of fire I am not sure how it could be easily continued below that. Nor am I in fact sure if I’d want the sleeve to go any lower than that.
I work in architecture and they are pretty liberal, but I wear…[Read more]

To me, the entire butterfly looks like a blob. Even knowing it IS a butterfly, I have a hard time seeing it in there. So my 2 cents would be that I agree with Sherav’s second option… to redo it bigger and better.

I think that’s the first time I’ve really liked a Koi fish.. kudos on the ‘determined’ look 😀

Bah, I’d say it’s common curtesy to at least quote you as source if someone’s going to nick your material :S

Just earlier today I was thinking that it’s been a while since you updated you blog 🙂

It’s valuable info so I hope you’ll put as much of it as you can onto the forums. It would be a shame to lose it.

I should expect that it’s very widely available, and probably in every bookstore, since they’ve translated it into Icelandic and I doubt we ever bother with translating anything unless it’s already become famous ‘on the outside’. I know you can find it at Amazon UK at least.

And yes, the intro grabbed me and was the sole reason why I bought the…[Read more]

Ah, you never know 😀

As Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett had it, Crowley (a fallen angel working on earth to corrupt humanity and bring more souls to hell) felt that ‘Filing Paperwork’ was one of his greatest accomplishments to aid in the cause… so one may never know which hand pulls which strings :p
