Fair enough. I think her face may be a bit generic in it but he’s quite spot on. For me, it’s a unique style that still works. I don’t go into a huff because someone disagrees.

Well I have my appointment tomorrow due to a cancellation.

That’s impressive. Go big or go home indeed!

OK, so this appears to be what the first tattoo was based on:

I’m sorry but while the original artwork wasn’t great to begin with, what the hell happened to it? I am very sorry for you :-(.

To put everyone back in their happy place: THIS is freaking awesome:

Thanks for all the positive feedback, especially since you guys are thankfully very honest when it comes to that and have no problem telling people if an idea is crap or technically not feasible.

I instantly recognised the second picture as I was only introduced to this movie a few months ago. It’s a very recognizable scene that could definitely be handled better. Fingers crossed this can be fixed without laser removal, though judging from your photo it seems pretty dark already.

Agreed with the folks who think the third one turned out best.

Wow this is stunning work.

That’s a great concept!

Holy bejeebus! Can’t wait to see the update!

Sorry, looks like a fairly generic tribal to me. Where did you get the picture from? Is it a mobvie still or something?

Awesome, the coloured parts really “pop” already!

That’s a great piece!

Current state of the betta after over half a year. Might be interesting for the noobs who are afraid of coloured stuff fading or blurring quickly:

Mind you, I don’t tend to run around in short sleeves outside anyway, so the tattoo has seen hardly any sunlight.

The peacock feather all healed up after 5 weeks:

I wish I could just edit my previous post… ah well.
Here’s a better picture without me popping my shoulder out of its socket, lol!
Also, this was taken straight after washing so no weird reflections.

Thanks guys, I am mostly happy myself but there are a few issues which will need to get fixed at some point.

– The machine Sandra used for the outlines was giving her a fight for some time. If you look at the top right you’ll notice that one of the lines is a lot thicker. That’s because the machine kept broadening the lines. She got it to behave…[Read more]

Here ya go. The flash is doing funny things with the lines.

That’s so lovely and bright!
