Wait 3-4 weeks and see how it looks then. It may look fine then.

It’s very difficult to tell, and you won’t know for sure for a couple of weeks yet, but I’d put my money on it being a blowout.

Why on earth would you join a tattooing forum to ask this question?

You’re going to dedicate an entire backpiece to your Brother?
To be honest, I think you need to know exactly what you want yourself before committing to that!

Good luck,

Mix it up. I have 3 different styles and 4 tattoos. I’m too eclectic to keep the one theme.

You’re quite welcome.

Just add farflungfuture.com to your filter in AB+, and it will take exactly 0.0001 forevers to look it up.

And while you’re at it, add cloudfront.net into your filter as well.

Superb!
I did wonder what would happen if artists ran out of time… and that’s in then, committed to travel to get it done!

Awesome!

You’re gonna have to get your skin insured soon!

About that portfolio, I don’t think I like it. Much of it is very strange, and some of it is very flat. It’s difficult to tell from fresh pictures, but it ‘feels’ like all his shading is overdone.

Welcome to the forum 🙂

Quallity over quantity. Save up and get a Cecil piece, even if it means no ink for a year or two?

Some of his work is decent, some of it is average. I didn’t see anything amazing though. I reckon you can do better.

Have a long, hard think about this, it’s not something you want to rush into, doesn’t sound like you’re quite ready to me.

First off, the tribal. To be honest, there’s not a lot of love for it at the moment, you may actually struggle to find a studio prepared to do it. It’s boring, tedious to do (apparently) and just uses up good real…[Read more]

Won’t be any more than a 4 hour drive mate 🙂

Good stuff, sounds as if that could work well.

I’ll keep an eye out in case you’re there Sunday, that’s when we’re going 😎

I know i’m guilty of keep saying this but it honestly sounds like the sort of thing you need to chat over with your artist. They’ll know what will work, and what won’t. and, if they don’t, go somewhere else!

You still getting it done at the convention?

No, it will instantly make you a homosexual.
