i guess you can always go with a koi fish with some Japanese watercolor type waves and tie that in with a bad ass mermaid in a clam… maybe some other fish and aquatic plant life to tie it all together. ocean fish are so colorful and very beautiful

Sir all im trying to say is, will that image fit to my current tattoo concept or should i stick to bio-mechanical/organic theme.

i would make it tie into like a magma blob going into another tatt… maybe fire or magma related due to the coloring??? just my input

The design is cool, but I’d get a better artist to redraw it. Kinda goofy lookin’ as is.

dave again i got your back on this one. the skull part looks goofy… im also not into pieces that someone else has. i like all my shit to be custom. but i agree the concept is great, if done by a great artist it would be bad…[Read more]

Im looking for some sort of background now, im hoping to turn this into a sleeve. Anyone got any ideas?

http://www.thetattooforum.com/album.php?albumid=4593&pictureid=10112

id say it depends on the shit u are into….

yeah get all the big pieces first i agree. but early on i believe its a good idea to kinda have an idea what your going to use to tie it all together so you can start laying some of the filler down around each big piece than tie it together

lol you guys are fucked up…. not everyone can afford nice work guys…. it looks ok man. keep your head up. i dont like so much negativity in the morning.

also its not about what we all think. as long as your happy.

good morning everyone!

MY MOMS NOT THE tattoo type, thats why i started getting work done around 15 years old

you can go traditional, a heart with a banner, a bird with a banner, rose with banner…. maybe find out your g-ma’s fav flower and work around that (all females have a favorite flower it seems) just a few ideas

Hi and welcome to the forum! Do you have any passions you could use as inspiration for your lower leg sleeve? I’d start thinking about the things you love most and have some meaning to you. Once you get started you will find you have too many ideas and won’t know how to choose!!!! Good luck! 🙂

Kinda went without saying. :p

Me and my ex-wife got these matching tattoos. Women are at least as bad as drugs for making you do stupid shit.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

still a nice piece tho lol. im sure you can work with it. do you know if she covered hers uP?? do you plan on modding that one you have?

yeah lucky for me the guy went to jail the next day lol. it was supposed to be a big piece with a haunted house and trees and shit.

what was yours supposed to be? is that like a goddess or a warrior?

this was made with a homemade gun using a walkman motor and the spring from a bic lighter was used as a needle.. just wanted to add that

Don’t know that I would go the random route unless you know an artist talented enough to convincingly tie them all together. A better idea would be to pick an event, movie, song, artist, etc. that has made some impact on you in life and work with that. I recommend that you check out DOJAGUY’s post on his four horsemen…[Read more]

YEAH IM doing the sleeve in my album as a coverup… all those tatts we thought were cool when we were younger lol. now that im older with money, might as well cover it up with some bad ass work right? what else you planning on getting?

i have a mole tatted over… no problems as of yet
