do you really care what others think?
Yes, I do care what others think. However, others is a very subjective term. For example; I can care about what my family thinks, while not caring about what this tattoo community thinks.

Right, now we’re making some progress.
In future, ask your family what they think, don’t ask on…[Read more]

Don’t think we’ll stop him, sadly
He got some great advice on another forum he’s been hammering, post copied below.
Hopefully he’ll take it on board but I doubt it.

Wait a week, print this thread, and file it away. Put it with some shit you’re likely to read in a decade or so. That’s when you’ll get some entertainment out of this forum and your…

@Panter: You didnt find me as a fitting exaple for a good tattoo? Screw you…. 🙁

Sorry dude…

The one I posted was the first example that popped up in Mr Wheat’s album, I used that as the OP couldn’t see anything “above mediocre” in his album.

I feel a bit guilty about responding to him anyway now, it’s just a kid…[Read more]

You want comments from an artistic viewpoint?

Ok, for the hard of understanding, here goes…

A good tattoo:

And a shit tattoo:

Just seen on the other forum that you’re 16 Years old.
Apologies for my language young man, your tattoo looks swell.
Hey, and on the bright side, by the time you hit puberty it should be faded enough to cover it with something nice (get lots of sunshine on it)

How many threads? and why are you interested in what people think? you claim not to give a flying fuck about peoples opinions yet you’ve taken up half the new posts page with pictures of your cross with the new marshmallow background.
What gives? (oh, and laser that shit 😉 )

Yo Satan, what happened to being able to click a member’s name to get to their album?

We really need to see the actual tattoo to be able to tell you what can and can not be done. Without seeing it, my current advice would be to get it lasered and then get a competent artist to make you a better tattoo down the road.

Oh, and one thread’s quite enough.

Welcome to the forum Reverend. Always good to get more tattooists in here.

Exactly !

ROFL! You beat me to it buttwheat!

Haters gonna hate 😀

The guy with the lion tattoo above is actually a small bloke. It’s a David Corden piece, I was lucky enough to see it in the flesh whilst he was having some other wok done by him.

They’re very poorly done.
This is what a decent Lion tattoo should look like:

It’a all obtainable, you just need to be patient, find the right artist and dig deep!

Good luck,

^^ What they all said.
And make sure you find a different artist for your next piece, the guys here will point you in the right direction if you ask for recommendations

True. but you know I have talked about it and some of the people I talk to like it and I know this one tattoo artist that really thinks it s a great idea.

Generally speaking, your friends will tell you the idea and tattoo are great, regardless of it being utter shit… so you should be careful about trusting their opinions.…[Read more]

silly side scroll bars in posts should be gone now. can anyone please confirm.

Confirmed.

No good examples, I know there’s loads out there but can’t find any good ones with a quick Google search at the moment.
Something along these lines though is what I was getting out (sorry, crappy example) but to give it the texture of stone or fatigued metal

Nice piece man, congrats.

Give it a textured look?
