the only piece i like is that skeleton piece. everything else lacks depth and line work is marginal at best.

oh and that chuck taylor face tattoo is to die for.

I liked her stuff and I didnt even know she was on the show. I thought she worked with paul booth?

Who are the others? Isn’t there a female that’s pretty good?

honestly i havent watched it in forever so i couldnt tell ya!

tim hendricks is the only good artist on that show.

Carlos torres would kill it

why dont you just wait and save up so you can get the tattoo you really want and not just “settle” for script? i got some shitty tattoos when i was 16-18 and it wasnt until i was 30 (im 34 now) until i started to get serious ink. in those 4 years i logged in over 70hrs of ink from world class artists. i am so glad i waited because i can afford…[Read more]

talk to tim “victim” pangburn. he can cover ANYTHING…

not color, but this is nuts…

to be fair, i have fallen asleep on all my ink and i never looked at the stencil. but then again, i trust all my artists. but falling asleep on rib work does seem WOWSERS.

i think the line work on the mic is good. there are some uneven lines but overall its nice. i like it.

A buddy of mine is going to get his second tattoo from Gogue(fucker)

you need to tell your buddy to get me in somehow!

another thing worth pointing out is that since “jackass” was an apprentice to your tattoo artist, maybe the jackass picked up his mentors style which is why it looks similar?

i dont think youre the only person with a blue rose. do you have pics of both yours and his CL ad to compare?

it all depends on the size and artist. some artists like to do outline first and then color, some like to do sections at a time.

is this your first tattoo with red ink? some people do not take red ink well. but other than that it looks infected. you need to go see a doctor and get some antibiotics.

shit i got a very tiny chest tat when i was 17 and that shit hurt like a mofo! on a side note, chest tats on females are super sexy!
