Sorry to hear about your bad experience…. try going to a more reputable artist who has work that you really enjoy and see if the artist has any ideas…that’s probably the best place to start since each artist has their own style…

I thought for sure you’d never come back to the forum, thinking we were just looking for someone to bash…. so now I’ll officially say Welcome to the forum!

robin labreche looks to be a much better artist than the one you’ve had your bad experience with, so hopefully she’ll(assuming it’s a she) be able to help you out. Be sure to show…[Read more]

I opened this expecting complete shit. I couldn’t imagine yarn making any kind of a decent tattoo. LOL Nice work. I love the buttons.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I was shocked to see how nice it came out. congrats on the work!
