Here are a few that look good to me

I like this kind of tribal. That’s actually art IMO, not that other shit.

Actually, sunscreen soaks into your skin and absorbs UV rays before they damage the skin, whereas sunblock sits on top of the skin and reflects or physically blocks the UV rays before they reach the skin.

All in all, it accomplishes the same result, so yes.. it’s more or less the same 🙂

Thanks. Now the real decision……[Read more]

I always liked art, as far back as I can remember. Then around 15-16 I became interested in tattoos. I had some friends who already had tattoos (in the US, you have to be 18+ or have parental permission), then when I was 17 I got my first ink. I never had parental permission… hell, even the shop didn’t care. I’m sure most shops follow the laws…[Read more]

LOL Oh, okay, it’s cool then. Hey I recognized it as islands!

lol yep, you were close. 🙂

I’ve had compliments on it by other artists and people while it was getting done. It looks way better in person. I like it. :p

The Philippine islands. 😉

I’m adding on to this. This is the only pic I have left on my computer after cleaning folders out. I have other tattoos that wrap around.

As already mentioned, sorry for your loss.

With the halo, this is just my opinion (not a tattoo artist’s opinion), but with everything you mentioned a banner on the bottom of the wings with those quotes and have the halo on top over the wings and you can still have your sons name in the middle.

How big do you want to go on this memorial? If you…[Read more]

Thank you guys for your answers.

Well, regarding the first point: let’s say I am quite convinced; I choose those names just ‘cose I’m sure I will never regret it.

@Imperial: would you show me some font you would like? Just to see what you mean… Thank you.

A good artist should be able to do any of those fonts, although the ones with a lot of brush strokes would probably look like shit unless you go huge.

To be honest, none of those fonts look that good. :/

And just like KnightHawk said, if you’re “almost” convinced to get your first tattoo, don’t do it.
If you have to convince yourself to get a…[Read more]

I have been discriminated against because of my tattoos at work. My district manager never knew I had visible tattoos until this girl called my DM and told her. 😡 It didn’t bother anyone, including store level managers, customers or other people I worked with.

I have been discriminated against for other things by police…. just the kind of…[Read more]

That’s some of the best advice I’ve read about how to get an apprenticeship.

To me, it’s out done and over done. I’ll admit I thought about getting a tribal piece but after the years passed, it slipped my mind of why I wanted one. I’m over it now, but now I’m looking into real tribal that’s part of my ethnicity not just some scribble lines someone made up. There’s beautiful tribal art and then there’s the typical, over…[Read more]

I’m still watching NY Ink… it’s funny and entertaining and there’s nothing else to watch at 10. :p

I thought Tommy’s killer bee tattoo he did on Method Man was good but he out did himself with that rose and hands tattoo. That’s probably the best tattoo so far this season. And Ami keeps doing little simple shit… wtf?? I thought he was supposed…[Read more]

Holy shit!!!! @ the Back to the Future piece. 😮
Fucking unbelievable!!

Google is your best friend. 🙂

Well pics 4 and 5 doesn’t look too bad, definitely color in the roses would make it look much better. The other stuff it looks like the artist (and I use that term loosely) used way too much shading, it pretty much looks like it was done by someone who just picked up a tattoo machine, said fuck it and went to town on your arm. Maybe a better…[Read more]
