Ya, I saw that you said that, but I thought that you were talking about just the one line….like the very outer edge of the upper ‘grey area’. I didn’t know you were talking about all the gray. But it still looks sweet nontheless!

Yes I drew the line around the top and shaded inside of it to show how it would look…[Read more]

Looks good dude – Nothing wrong with Cherry Blossoms – Mine will be colored though.]

Thanks KJD, I was thinking about doing my cherry blossoms in red… but then decided to keep the black and grey theme 🙂 still have a 3 hrs sitting left yet in a few weeks to finish it off.

I just took my 1st pic (quickly) of it in…[Read more]

That looks awesome!!!

One thing I don’t like though is that the grey (smoke) background continues at the top making it look like the whole scene is engulfed in this big grey oval. I personally like wavy pointy lines (like from the flames and flower tips) to extend out onto bare, non-backgrounded skin. It looks really…[Read more]

Better than your other design. I like the variety in it 🙂

Thank u Poesy 🙂 the bottom leaf still needs some lines drawn on to make the leaf look curled up at the sides.. i think this tattoo will look much nicer than the other idea… I want to stick with the Asian tattoo style for all my tattoo’s in the future..…[Read more]

Well, your ‘flames’ look more like falling leaves, the text is sloppy and illegible, and the rest of it is….

…what is it?

I can understand the tattooist not wanting to put that on you, but if you can manage to explain what each part is I’m sure a real tattoo artist could draw you a tattoo to encompass the things you…[Read more]

hey everyone.. after waiting nearly a month and getting no sleep with exitement of getting the next session done… I went to the tattoo shop… and I look my design I came up with… but he took one look at it and refused to do it.

He said he couldnt read any of the letters.. and he wouldnt keep any of what I had done.. I took it as I…[Read more]

Go to a good tattoo’ist as the guy above just said.. it looks a nice tattoo apart from the area you mentioned… so dont worry too much. I even thought it looked good before you said anything was wrong.

He’s a good guy… I liked how he works.

Good luck with yours 🙂

I cant decide which one I like the best…. 🙂 ALL very very cool … looking forward to seeing the progress of the latest work!! 🙂

Can I ask everyone for your feedback…. on my new design for my next session…. this is my ‘rough drawing’ to help guide my tattoo’ist of what I am after…

My idea is to ‘shade behind’ the flames and water… so the flames and water and cherry blossoms stay white (or skin colour) and the shading is behind it so the whole tattoo doesn’t over…[Read more]

Hi

That is a very solid fill and is looking good on the design plan.
I have quite a few lotus blossoms on my backpiece and I think that it would have looked unfinished without it.

Flowers can be used for feminine tattoos but equally for masculine ones as well.

Keep us updated on the progress.

Take Care

Thank you…[Read more]
