Cool. That would work…let me know.

Thank you Buttwheat! I’m very happy and finally proud. 🙂

Anyone who lives in PA, I’m always up for a bike ride if you guys feel like heading out towards Lancaster. I haven’t gotten to ride my big ol’ Star much this season.

Well,

I appreciate everyone’s input and suggestions, but I ended up going with my gut feeling and having Shane Munce do my tattoo repair/cover up. I am absolutely THRILLED with his work- he was so very nice and professional and patient with me. He took his time and really laid in wonderful details. We spent 4.5 hours with a few brief breaks and I…[Read more]

I’m going to talk to Shane Munce of Olde Media Tattoo tomorrow. I LOVE his portfolio, and he’s tattooed a lot of famous bands, including Slipknot. I think he is very good, and he does a lot of realism.

Yeah, he had electricity…..

“Sausage”, Walter Frank, was on Ink Master this last season. He works at Club Tattoo in Las Vegas.

Nothing was wrong with your link per se. Harrisburg is a bit of a drive for me is all, and I want to have multiple artists to choose from. I can go to Rob’s shop and meet him and discuss the piece with him and see what he says.
I liked Douglas’ work better than Olde City Tattoo’s stuff. Olde City is highly recommended, but the online portfolios…[Read more]

I know now Hot Shots is not good….I’m not stepping foot in there again.
Here is a link to High Rollers Tattoo Studio on West Chester. It’s Douglas I talked with. He was very nice and he specializes in photo realistic cover ups and restoration work. He’s done a number of reptile pieces I saw in his portfolio that impressed me, but most of the…[Read more]

He doesn’t have his portfolio online, but I saw a good selection in the shop, as well as his work on my friends. It all looked quite good, and my fiance wanted me to go to our friends’ artist. What really infuriates me is that I know he’s capable of far better than this. The shop is called “Hot Shots Tattooing” in Thorndale, PA. The artist was…[Read more]

Here’s the tattoo:

First pic is right after it was done:

Here’s the current healing stage:

Here’s the preliminary sketch. We removes the two detailed heads at the bottom because they didn’t flow, and added a brainstem. My issues are that several of the small snake heads look misshapen, their eyes are way too large compared to the sketch, and…[Read more]

I can’t figure out how to post pictures on here.
It’s not so much that the tattoo looks different, it’s that it’s time and a half the size of the stencil he put on my shoulder, and there are mistakes. The tattoo is a brain, made of snakes. I’m a neuroscientist who also breeds vipers. There are some blown out lines, and the eyes on snakes within…[Read more]

How do I post pictures on here?
