It seems faded and dim enough to just cover. It’s not to big either which is perfect.

I don’t think laser should even be considered here.

What are you going to get to cover it up?

Not meaning to be a dick but, what did you expect with tribal? It’s black and boring.

To spruce it up a bit you could get some coloured tribal (wooo) surrounding it or whatever.

Looks great so far, there are a lot of Koi tats out there so it is sometimes hard to really elaborate on the creativity or style, but as far as detail, solid. Looking forward to seeing the end result

Definitely a good start, I think it will be a solid tat when it’s done

Glad to see the finished product turned out good, I was a bit nervous from the outline 😎

Add some color, that’s a pretty plain piece of ink right there..

The line work looks uneven and rough to me

I also think it’s solid.. I feel if you added any more to it, it could look very crowded.. Just my opinion though, but I would definitely move on to the next one!

Hi, welcome. While I was sitting at my last session, a guy came into the shop and asked my artist about getting a tattoo similar to yours, banding around his ring finger. My artist really stressed the fact that tattoos in that area fade very fast due to the friction caused within the fingers.

I am not sure if this is completely true or not, but…[Read more]

Awesome piece, awesome car, you da man

I think it’s pretty cool, there is also a religion in California that views pot smoking and growing as the way to go 😀

This could make for a really cool tat, but as far as the quality, I’ll have to side with Tajen. I would consider a new artist and try and touch up or finish the rest of it

I like it, simple and colorful

Shit happens 😉

Are you unsure of the placement of the tattoo or where to find ideas?

Bing is a good place to start for inspiration, you can also go to your tattoo artist with ideas, they may have some sweet images in their shop

My girlfriend has a near sleeve completed and I don’t really notice anyone judging her because of it. Wish I could be more help, I am not a woman nor have a half sleeve! 🙁

Tattoos don’t have to have meaning BigZach. In fact, trying to get a tattoo with a deeper meaning often times distracts from the art. Many of us here have ink for ink’s sake, with designs whose only meaning is “DUDE! ZOMBIE SQUID! AWESOME!”.

I agree, I just think that regardless if that tattoo has meaning or not, it…[Read more]

I like it; definitely unique. Will make for a good conversation starter.

I can’t see the picture, but I’m sure it’s no different than any other band I’ve seen.. Go for something with meaning instead of just a lame band, unless that lame band has meaning to you, spice it up!

Truly amazing, I can’t wait to see the progress
