Hey man, I’ll definitely try to find some other ideas and post them. Here is one I posted but the link didn’t work. It was supposed to show up under Greek Soldiers on the last post but didn’t.

hey man love the tattoo and the choice to go black/gray.

I love to throw ideas out to ppl when they ask so here’s one:

For some reason the stretches btw. the two faces reminded me of columns like in architecture and then old Greek architecture. It might be cool to incorporate some Greek god/roman architecture images into it…here’s an idea and…[Read more]

eother way the work is awesome, i have a lot of sailor jerry swallow flash and to be honnest i think the swallows look better in blue if on a male body.

very nice. the second jaw is great..totally makes you think about it, and i can see the contrast btw feminine masculine in the two. what a great idea. the artist should get an extra $20 for that lol.

Damn, lol but i really appreciate all the honesty. What i dont understand though is how an artist could fix it. If they shaded any more it would just turn into a full black silhouette right? And dude that horse really is badass i might try to incorporate it

Thanks Patrick for your ideas. I keep…[Read more]

If you want tostay with the sailor theme go with a nautical star. I know they are played out but the heart is like you said a little feminine or maybe an anchor or old school bomb. Being in the navy myself I got and old school anchor and I love it.

Thanks a lot for your ideas. I’m a huge fan of the nautical star look,…[Read more]

i love sailor jerry style ink also, but i have to agree it is a lil feminine. an easy fix would be to put a banner over the heart with “mom” or “dad” in the banner.

Yea I’m kind of against the banner idea but I totally get what your saying. I’m thinking with a little color change, it could work. Thanks for your…[Read more]
