i agree and would go with the chest or upper arm, leaving the back for a bigger piece. just wondering matthew how does one ‘test’ the ribs? i’m getting mine there, no backing out, but would like to do something other than pinching myself to get a good idea of what is coming…if there is a way 🙂

i really like these and have looked at getting one/some but heard that your skin can reject them and they can migrate…so i’m holding back for now…someday maybe. yours look really cute:)

wow, i don’t even know what to say….ouch? i take it they won’t be staying in and this was all at once??? again…wow!

a gay pothead skater….wow rofl

lol, i can take the weekend off but getting wasted afterward sounds good too:p. i guess i’ll see how i feel, i figure i’ll be pretty tired and not up to it. so i’ll be sure to get sleep, eat, and take a soda. i always thought you drank water to avoid getting dehydrated and stuff but soda it is! thanks, i can’t wait to get it done and over, the…[Read more]

i’m not super experienced or anything but you have 2 arms so unless you plan on sleeving both you could always do the other arm later. or put the scripture on the other arm, either way. but i think a good artist could incorporate it somehow, i’ve seen lots of people with sleeves worked into other older tats, my husband has 3 completely different…[Read more]

lmao, its def not a dick on a skateboard! its a 4 leaf clover, cards, dice, yamaha logo and some smoke in the back…i’ve never seen a girl with a gambling-ish tattoo but its a memorial so if its manly i guess its okay since its for a guy (and since my boob will off set it;) ) i’m glad its pretty normal to get nervous/excited even for people with…[Read more]

lol i had never even considered that my boob will probably be visible while i was getting the ink! no biggie, i’m sure they’ve seen many more:p but yeah i guess since i’ll have to be in a bathing suit or seriously short shirt to see it it won’t be too masculine!

haha i’m a little worried about sitting for this one, on my ribs. i’ve read some pretty bad stuff. i’m hoping its exaggerated. i think it will be worth the pain though. and its not like it should be 5 hour sitting, i’m happy about that! my other one is between my shoulder blades and on the spine, where everyone said it would hurt, felt great and…[Read more]

thanks, i was actually liking shayne’s stuff too and the body art site is terrible, it took me forever to figure it out. i have actually been there several times with other people and know a lot of people who get work done by them, which is why i originally went that way, but you’re right, jason specializes in portraits which does me no good at…[Read more]

oh damn that one works well too! guess i have to choose now lol, i can’t wait to get this done and post pictures! how long do you guys think either will take?

oh sorry, its not complete yet but its a combo of a yamaha symbol, 4 leaf clover, ace of spades, and dice. outlaw actually drew me up a quick sketch on my introduction that will be a bit different in the end but its a great starter! here’s the link…hope it works http://s419.photobucket.com/albums/pp280/crystal_ds/?action=view&current=yamahatat1.…[Read more]

yeah i was definitely thinking of some shadow, and maybe 2 dice instead of making a really big one? that might make the card look too small lol, idk. i will definitely be able to work with this though, i actually got some tears in my eyes seeing that it can be pulled together. i thought i was going to have to abandon it and find something else and…[Read more]

i don’t know where you got that outlaw, i’ve been looking for days but its fantastic, i love it. i will probably personalize it a bit, and make the yamaha blue, but its perfect, thank you so much!

how big are we talking? i know it won’t be tiny b/c of everything going on. i’m thinking it will be a side piece, haven’t decided on rib or hip though, so i should have room. i’m having trouble fitting the logo into it all, it just seems out of place:(
