I’m not to sure on the octopus suction cup idea. Kinda of just looks or will look like one of the many leopard print tattoos out there.

That was my first thought too. Personally, I’m thinking that’s just one of those things that look better on paper than in reality. From what I can see of the dragonfly, it looks really…[Read more]

Personally, I’m not feeling Dmitry’s color work when it comes to skin tones (though loving his color work on other things, like the red and yellow leaves). They do have different signature styles, but they all display an extremely good command of shadowing and realism in general. They also all have displayed previous work that have…[Read more]

Take your money elsewhere. Also might I suggest that you spend a lot of time studying portfolios before settling on an artist. When you know how to compare and grade work, then you’re ready to get tattooed. Example:

I’ll edit the first picture to exclude what I don’t want.

a) Scrap the idea and any variations on that idea, or
b) Scrap atheism

Or you could always just go for it and spend the rest of your life looking like a fool when people ask you about the religious significance of your tattoo. But hey, it could be worse, like…[Read more]

Tattooing is not artistry in itself, it is a trade and may or may not be art, depending on factors such as:

– The uniqueness of the idea
– The intent of the creator
– The effect on the viewer
– The craftmanship

If you know the slightest thing about art, you would not hesitate to…[Read more]

I love the background flowers and filligree. The couple don’t do much for me, but it may be because of the woman’s arms – the left elbow in particular. But all in all an artistic piece with a great idea behind it.

When I saw the work of Den Yakovlev, I knew he was the guy for this particular tattoo. When it comes to realism, I’m just compromise – I’d rather not have a tattoo! I’m also a big fan of Robert Hernandez (ES) and Carlos Torres (US).

Den has a unique control over depth of field as well as shading.

It was an 8 hr sitting.

Pain is the nerves way of telling the brain that your body might be in danger. What I did was to convince my brain that the nerve signals were not to be interpreted as pain. So, for the most part, I could feel the needle, but I didn’t feel pain – it’s hard to explain, but it…[Read more]
