Really not trying to be an ass but I would start over on the other arm Eddie could be done so much better.

Oh and welcome to the forum

For an obtainable tattoo artist I like D’Lacie McBride in Portland http://www.opticnervearts.com/dlacie-mcbride.html

If it was me I would not be getting tattooed by him.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry about gramps. I’m more sorry that you got that tattoo.

Welcome please post a pic of your scratcher tattoo done with a stick.

There are a lot of people who will be more than willing to give you advice on what to get for your first tat. Most of them are idiots.

I think you should get a monkey hanging off of a hot air balloon by his tail with an evil alligator in the basket of the balloon and all the ropes are made of liquorice and the balloon…[Read more]

it’s only a good price if it’s a good tattoo.
make sure you post pics after you get it.

Whoa deep man deep

Looks great man. I’m really not a fan of koi but your tattoo looks pretty solid.
Looks like you have a ruined sock there just remember to wear the same one next time you get work done.

Go for the random stuff I think it will be awesome.

I don’t know if Jap style would work if your mermaid doesn,t look Asian.

I kind of like the idea of a sleeve of a bunch of random stuff along with your mermaid. But most likely the mermaid will have to be reworked because it will look really faded next to all the new work.

Yep that is a big tattoo alright

Yeah this guy im getting tattooed by has never tattooed me before 🙂

Yeah if it is your good friend Nick Devine that you posted the pics earlier in this thread his work is fair at best.

First off Hi and welcome
Second don’t get butt hurt and run away.
Your tattoo looks very amateurish, the shading is terrible. Yes the commas look out of place.
A quality tattooist may be able to save the lettering and give it that blocked cut stone look you are looking for. Your tattooist may have been voted best of wherever 20 years in a row…[Read more]

Throw some flowers in there. Flowers can fix almost anything.

It looks nice and you seem happy with it. If it were me I would seek out a better tattooist for your next.

Honestly no artist is going to come here and see your post and help you. We know that, that is why we assumed that you were asking us for help on finding a new artist to finish your tattoo and you were being super secret man. Miss understanding all the way around. Don’t run away mad.
