I wouldn’t go to any of them tbh. If you’re down by Pennsauken and Philly, you’re only about an hour away from Steve Wimmer. Sean Zee is down that way also, not to mention Tim Pangburn. All 3 of these guys are far better choices imho.

Agree with this.

Small pic but it looks fine to me. I agree with Def, you could probably get that reworked by a good artist. Or even a full back piece if you’re willing!

If you do decide to add to it, please make sure you let us check out the artist you intend to use first so we can tell you if he/she is good or not.

It’s hard to say without seeing a pic, but most likely you will need laser sessions to lighten it before it can be covered. Post some pics up if you can, maybe its not as bad as you think?

Well if you want my honest opinion, I think you got what we expected you’d get from Ron. The art is unimpressive. The lizard looks semi-realistic, but the tree looks like a cartoon so the 2 don’t work together imho. The piece is also super flat. As they say though … as long as you’re happy.

I plan on be getting detailed work for the next decades (as opposed to getting it all done within the span of a few years). Hopefully some of it will still look good when my skin had morphed into leather 😀

What… it took him mere 2.5 hours to post his pics, expect everybody to love it, get one critique, troll the entire forum to look at all the other work in here, see that his can’t compare to most of it, decide in his own head that the only way to cope with his tattoo is to decide that all other ink is shit, cry, throw a hissy fit, edit his post,…[Read more]

This is why I’m in 2 mind about whether to get a detailed sleeve or just stick with traditional bold stuff. Ah well, in 30 years i’ll be 62 and wrinkled… who cares.

Do you realize that most of the comments are coming from Twitter where hardly any punctuations actually used because it eats characters

Huh? What are you on about? The posts in here have nothing to do with Twitter, and Twitter’s 140 character limit are hardly ‘how it should be done’.

Well he was still better in ’96 than I am now.

I don’t care for wings either but these ones are not bad. Congrats.

Nice first, congrats!

Nice story and nice tattoo! For a first one that looks like a win to me. It’s a nice size, has personal meaning without being OTT and looks beautifully done, congratulations 😎

I don’t think there is anything that’s truly ‘overdone’, because if things are done well then they transcend the trend. There are WAY too many ‘meh’ Koi tattoos out there, but a beautifully done Koi tattoo still looks beautiful.

As for the wings, I don’t think they’re anywhere close to replacing the Koi or the Panther as the ‘overdone’…[Read more]

Nobody sings the song that’s starting around 3:30… it’s instrumental only.

If you mean the song before that (the one that’s actually sung), however, that’s here:

You seem to be awfully worried about the future of your tattoo, for one that only lives in the now 😉

Of the three I think perhaps Bryan is the best, but none of them are amazing. They are just good.. not great, and definitely not amazing.

Well, keep the thing well protected and out of the sun, and you may see a much longer lifespan. 🙂

You said yourself you’re not too bothered about it blobbing and, to be honest, it’s such an epic piece that it seems well worth the trade off to me
