You’re right about the whole moderating thing and not being a tattoo artist. I was just hoping since you mod a tattoo forum you might have come across a couple of techniques on ways to make a ‘flat and lifeless’ idea better.

I don’t quite understand why you’d think I’ll get bored of it. I mean after reading what you said you make it sounds like I should just get a sleeve of skulls, maybe a dragon, OR perhaps a pretty koi fish swimming up my forearm 🙂 because everyone knows what all those things are and they will always be ‘cool’. I apologize, I tend to stray from the packs of sheep.. OH theres another idea! A SHEEP! Those are pretty cool and everyone knows what it is so I’ll never get bored of it! -_-

Well, I sure hope you don’t plan on using that train, because it looks like crap as it is. Velvet Revolver cover or no, it’s poorly drawn and would always make the tattoo artist seem unskilled. If I ever saw ink anywhere close to looking like that does, I’d call that Grade-A scratcher result.

Thanks for the reply.

I would have expected to see more suggestions on detailing, positioning, shading, and color from a moderator on a tattoo forum then an outward bash on an idea. Well here is the glory of tattoo’s.. they are based on ones individuality.. so while you see a pile of crap.. I see potential artwork tied to a band that I love and I will sport it with pride when it’s finished.

Anyway, narrow it down for me.. what part of the train would you like to see more detail? Would you find a side view more appealing then the front on approach? Should I use a lighter red on the actual tattoo? Should I Keep the flaming exhausts? Surely you don’t feel like the whole train is garbage… if so then.. i dont know what to tell you cause i’m getting it eventually lol.

Yeah it’s not gonna be as cartoony but it will be just about the same angle just a lil more slanted so more of the side of the train can be seen because a lot of the more unique detail of the train is on it’s side. I need the angle so slash can be seen clearly and him throwing up the sign just pops more.

The artist is Mike Parsons. As this is my first tattoo i’m looking for as much advice, opinions, and suggestions as possible and I thank you for your reply.
