I agree, the healing process is annoying especially with having to make sure it doesn’t get too dry, or stay too moist.

Looks like a decent tattoo you have there. I’ll admit that when I saw the first pic I was really skeptical, but it pulled together nicely.

Looks very interesting. Can’t wait to see the end result.

The shop website is http://www.artworxtattoo.com but they’re still working on the site so none of their portfolios are up. I had to actually look at an album with his pictures in it at the shop.
I personally love Tattoo Goo; I’ve used it on almost all of my tattoos and they always heal up great. But different products work better for some people than…[Read more]

Wow, that work is un-freaking-believable. I would totally pay for a tattoo from him any day.

That would be a sick ass tattoo. To graphic would be having the people jumping out the windows.

Or having a plane crashing into the side. I think it looks good. If it’s what you want, then I’d get it.

Wow, I definitely agree. That tattoo is awesome. The detail of it is just mind-blowing.

The tattoo doesn’t look horribly awful, but I think I’m with you in that it would have looked better as b/g. I’m not sure what options you have, though.

Ok, so I went to talk to the artist today. His portfolio looked really good and I’m confident that he can handle this piece. He took a look at the picture and said that it would be two sessions: one for the outline and another for the shading. Altogether it’s going to cost me around $400-$450. That was quoted before I even told him what my…[Read more]

Do you have any plans to put something in the scrollwork or is it just decorative? Looks pretty decent.

I definitely know what you mean. I go this afternoon to see my tattooist and talk prices and whatnots. I keep hoping that he’ll be just what I’m looking for for this task and that he says he actually has some free time today to work on it, lol.

Very nice start. Can’t wait to see the finished result.

That’s an awesome tattoo.

Have you gotten this finished yet? I like it a lot. Some lion tattoos manage to look cheesy, but this one looks freaking awesome.

The tattoo looks fairly decent, but the geisha looks really mean and not very geisha-like.

I know it’s been awhile since the last post in this thread, but was wondering if there are updated pictures on your progress. It’s really sick so far.

Very nice tattoo. The shading looks awesome.

Sorry about your dad. It’s looking great so far. It’s funny; in that light, it almost looked like freshly done scarification to me. Definitely liking it a lot.

Then to be honest, that’s all that matters. If it means something to you, it doesn’t really matter what other people say.
