I did. Mostly because I have ink by and follow Jime Litwalk. I can’t help but root for him. But you are right. There appear to be some decent artists this year….of course they also have to add the drama of ass artists and those with excuses for everything, but that is to be expected.

It’s not about football (American or English). It’s more about any logo. Baseball, basketball, etc. They are almost always boring because they are a replica of the team logo. I agree with GrayCatLove, but most people that want sports team ink, do not want them to be abstract.

Be creative.

It’s a good thing you came here. Everybody should always start with a shitty cheap tattoo before you can afford a good one. That way you will appreciate a good tattoo later. And when you can actually afford a good one, you will also be able to afford lasering your original shitty tattoo.

Spend some time here and on other forums, and thinking…[Read more]

It’s actually tequila.

You started with “Tell me what ya think.”. Now you say, “I like it and thats all that matters.” and “I have got a lot of compliments on it”

You need to make up your mind. Either you want opinions or you don’t care what people think. You can’t have it both ways. Some will like it, some will not; your friends will never give you an honest opinion.…[Read more]

Nice! The pictures might not be the greatest, but it is clear the ink is amazing.

That looks great!

I will only say this –

If your wife is against it, you are clearly creating drama…good luck with that.

I think Bert’s question revolves around the actual tattooed words. Likely, he knows about “Helter Skelter. However, on the the tattoo, the L and the T are identical. To Bert it looks like Heller Skeller; to me it looks like Hetter Sketter. It is not a well done…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will get differing opinions, but here is mine.

I have found it better to get tattoos in the summer vs. winter. My winter ink has always been more of a healing struggle due to dry winter skin and trying to minimize scabbing, and maximize healing time.

If I get one in the summer, it’s easier to keep the ink…[Read more]

I like how he subtly removed some of the sharp lines in the eagle. The wings extensions and white neck transition also look good. The smoother muted colors look much better. I also like the color contrast between the blue sky and golden desert.

I recall my experience with him, and was actually surprised that you did not comment on his heavy hand…[Read more]

Mr. Metalman.

Congratulations to you all. You already know Gunnar will do you right. Can’t wait to see pics.

So, how many parents does this 16 year old have? Kraqr (male, Justin), I assume is the father. According to him, the mother was ok with this. Now, Vale55rie says “her” (I assume based on screen name) 16 year old should not have been inked.

Personally, not a fan. The blocks do not appear to be “block” shaped, and the red (in both the blocks and the dots on top) is not appealing to my eye. The solid black circles are even less appealing. Actually, I do not think there is anything about it that I like. But if you do, good for you.

Additionally, I do not see anything symmetrical.

1. I would not get either.
2. If you are not sure, you should not get a king or a queen.

Welcome, Sammy. This is actually one of the tamer forums. I think sometimes we get tired of the “I am getting ready to turn 18 and always wanted a tattoo to show how I’ve survived Sooo much..” crap, and some of the other standard stupidity, but this is a good place to be for NOT getting kicked much.

Damn! Wish I had something more constructive, but I don’t. Recently I got real drunk, danced on a bar, broke my thumb and a rib and (allegedly) propositioned one of my daughter’s friends.

My thumb and rib healed; my daughter and friend realized I was very drunk.

I win.

So you honestly did not at any point during this solid black carving, sober…[Read more]

OK. You want meaning? If you truly are “too blessed to stress”, then this shouldn’t bother you.

Other than that…good luck.

Post your other work.

It’s actually not a music note. It’s a G clef and (I think) an F clef.
