Free touchups, forever, regardless of age or reason for fading?

Was thinking of getting a broken canister of ooze and the 4 turtles crawling around in it. Yay or Nay?

For a 3-4″ gap, I’d think that the ooze would be a perfect filler. The canister wouldn’t need huge detail so it would fit well.. or you could even just have the end of it, broken near the cap, and let the rest of a…[Read more]

Remeber these tattoos will be with you when you grow out of the blacklight stage too. (If you grow out of it. :rolleyes: )

I’m not so sure I’ll ever grow out of light stuff myself. I slept under black-light for the most part of a year. When my bulb blew out and I didn’t have time to get a new one, my migraines started to get…[Read more]

Your tattoos have an awesomeness factor of 12 our of 10 😀

I suggest you run, and run fast… here be monsters, and they be hungry!

Hey there 🙂

1. Does anyone recommend getting a small tattoo as a first tattoo to get a feel
for what the experience is like?

I did that. I decided to get a small (6″x4″ is relatively small) tattoo for my first, because I wanted to see if I had it in me to get a big one (the big one being a back or an arm piece). I DID,…[Read more]

Lol good to hear, cause they design was pretty lame IMO

I disagree.. the design is awesome. But the outcome sucks 🙂

Thank god for different opinions though.. how dull would life be if all agreed on everything… nothing but tribal anywhere.

I just thought I’d give you an update, because I recently discovered what it was that was bothering me about this tattoo…

The thing is that, I really really love photo-realistic tattoo’s and I love spectacular details, portrait-style and such.; specifically Science Fiction and Fantasy related.

My idea to create another theme that celebrates…[Read more]

And as someone (Sherav?) stated in here before, make sure that the drawings in the book are mostly of actual things. Show skill in making perfect illustrations of things of which they can be compared with. Art is all good and well, but I’d rather have a square and exceptionally accurate and good tattooist than an artsy but less exceptional one. 🙂

When I ask about Miami Ink, people usually tell me their mediocre and there are so many better artists in my area.

There is a reason why Ami hired Kat Von D. Her portrait work is awesome. She is no longer there, so it’s reasonable to assume that they aren’t too good at it and that there are better people out there.

I am seriously looking for your opinions on this.

A serious opinion for a serious question:

1.) He can’t draw worth shit. It doesn’t take an equally bad artist to know one, but I am equally bad and I don’t even draw on PAPER.. let alone skin.

2.) He can’t tattoo worth shit.

3.) This think looks like a giant cock, with a…[Read more]

Hah! 1200baud modems, BBS’s and Gopher… ah, the good old days 😀

In my opinion (and please note that this is a non-professional opinion and just an opinion :)), I love the whole concept of the Yin Yang, but I think the zodiacs would look better if they were inside a ‘dot’. Maybe just use the two blues, so there’s dark background, light dot, dark zodiac, and vice versa. Then of course add some shading and…[Read more]

Wow, Theresa Gordon is awesome. Thanks for the link.

And her webpage is much better than many. At least it works 😀

Thanks for the reply Matthew.

I’ll check out the links better when I’m more awake. That skinchaos page is one of the worst designed webpages I’ve been to in a decade though.

What.. tattoos don’t come first? 😀

Welcome to the forums. Many of these people know what they’re talking about, and the rest of us just sit and gape in awe 🙂

No thoughts or comments? Is my preferred genre really so uncommon?

That’s a bit bitter. You expect the good and extremely talented people of this forums to pull miracles out of their asses just because you are dying, and when they can’t you go all bitchy. I’m sorry for your situation, but that’s no excuse to be ungrateful for the help you DID get.

Yes.. I’m an asshole. Despite common misconceptions, this is the…[Read more]

I am going to get a full back piece of a giant squid attacking a pirate ship from him in a few weeks.

If you’re gonna let the same guy as did that, do an entire backpiece on you, you have a very odd taste in tattoos. All fine and dandy if you like it, but it looks like I drew it, and I couldn’t draw to save my life.

Those translators are always funny. It’s not always possible to decode the intended meaning behind the translation, but yours was plain enough 🙂
