I fancied his work before. He did great coverups, and other good work. But now, I can’t stand his work.
Did he do some earthshattering changes to his style, or have always been shit?
I remember him for this;
But today I saw this on facebook;
All I could think was that this is waste of fucking canvas.
Did this forum finally ruin me?
To me it looks like something a kid have drawn. There are some techincal use of shading,
but the coloring and linework looks really weird.
For comparison, here’s one he did a few weeks before.
That one is ok, but the crisp coloring and strong lines he have done before is missing. It’s like he is starting to give more shit about his work, and just produce as many tattoos as possible to get cash – sacrificing the quality.
Tim recently admitted to being an alcoholic. His work suffered greatly the past few years due to his issues with alcoholism and extreme depression. He’s said that himself. He’s been very open about it. It isn’t that he’s all about the money, because he’s not. It’s that he was going to work every day wanting to die. Would you put out perfect work if you wanted to die every day and couldn’t help feeling that way? Since he’s been sober, his zest for tattooing has come back and he’s loved everything he’s been doing since. Styles change. People change. Sorry you’re no longer a fan.
The crap tattoo on Andy Robinson’s stomach that you are being so quick to judge isn’t even finished. It’s also a lot different content wise than what you compared it to.
Enjoy your tattoo forum.

I have to disagree with this. Like i said earlier in the thread i dont see those tattoos as being crap. far from it. there is some real crap out there and this seems to be because his work was so good before it went downhill a bit (yet was still better than a lot of stuff out there) and he is now sorting himself out.
That octopus and stomach pieces above i actually quite like.
And if he has had issues and now got his shit together then we can look forward to enjoying his art again hopefully.
Would be nice to hear Tims opinion on it. perhaps we could invite him for an interview for the new news section?

LOL I’m in the same boat.
