I planned as well as I could have considering my limited knowledge at the time but I would have done things a little differently had I known what I do now. At least nothing needed covering and overall I’m still pleased. Unlike other people I’ve learned from experience and can make better decisions about current and future tattoo plans and artist choices.

Amazing, but you should have went bigger.

I only see the eagle piece but I really like it.

Looks pretty good, I’d like to see a better picture of the top part without all the glare.

Nice work! The white really makes everything pop.

I definitely agree about the white. That’s a very clean tattoo with a lot of small details that look clear and well done. Congrats man, you should be very proud of that. The only thing that sucks is with that placement noone will get to see it. I have the same issue…[Read more]

I agree.

I can agree with that, but to be honest with you, it makes me more comfortable as a client that he is clearly confident. I drove hours to a convention to meet with an another artist and although his work is impeccable, I ended up telling him “forget it” because he completely lacked confidence. I asked his…[Read more]

Go get a nice little flash piece in the mean time to hold you over.

I don’t recall reading anything about this guy learning about health codes, sterilization, blood borne pathogens, cross contamination…. you know, the unimportant stuff.

Ask him to post pics of his work.

Yes it is…he knows what he’s talking about, 6 weeks is safe.

yeah weird portfolio, one good color pic then a horrible black and grey, mixed quality, fair at best

I was thinking the same thing…very inconsistent which is concerning.

Hi

Before you laser it off have you considered getting the tattoo reworked and add some hint of colour?

It is not a bad piece actually and could easily be refreshed and polished up.

Take care
Matthew

I agree with this.

It’s disappointing but not surprising. There are some excellent artists in the UK which we have suggested but unfortunately it seems Wardy would rather be completely covered as quick as possible in cheap, average or worse tattoos from…[Read more]

All I can think of off the top of my head is Kyle Cotterman but I don’t think he’s in Cincy.

Although you haven’t said what style you’re looking to get and didn’t identify a specific artist at darkstar, if it was me I’d pass. Depending on how far you’re willing to travel and the style you want I’d suggest you look elsewhere. But not too far from you is Evan Olin in Cranston, RI. If you’re willing to drive a couple of hours there are a…[Read more]

It’s been a while but I have friends who live near Sprayberry High, nice area but fairly congested.

And I’m not foolish enough to think Shane is as good with colors as Josh but I think Shane’s color skills are underestimated. I also think it’s time we stop arguing about a TV show, my bad.
