Both pieces are unfinished. I just work on them when I have a lot of free time (like right now is free time lol). Sometimes I just don’t feel like drawing and I think if someone isn’t in the mood and they start drawing, they won’t put any effort or passion into it. That’s just how I feel.

Or did you mean unfinished in a different way?? Cause I…[Read more]

Can you wash dishes one handed??

Since it’s your family’s restaurant, couldn’t they give you some time off while it heals?

Tramp stamps are sexier then hell it fits and flows with the feminine shape. there is a reason they are so popular. Admit it when you see a chick and she bends over a little and a little bit of a tramp stamp peeks out you go schwing.

I wonder how long tramp stamps will be popular… remember tribal pieces and barb wire?? 😀

I’ve seen a pic of Pamela Anderson with the same tribal style/paint/photoshop… whatever you wanna call it.

There’s actually better tribals (from other countries), but this kind of tribal sucks.

Some of my pics are somewhere in the gallery section… can’t get good pics from my phone. I should start my album on here though, I’ve been meaning to do it but shit happens. :p

I don’t mean to jack the OP’s thread lol… Here’s a couple sketches I did this year for the first time after 10 years. These are the first 2, hope to have more this year. As you can see, I have a lot of things I need to relearn. The bamboo and trees I copied from 3 different pictures and made it my own. The koi fish is just plain, you can find…[Read more]

I agree with Dave, it’s a passion. I get excited about finishing a drawing up and looking at it when it’s all finished. When I was younger I would look at something and just draw it, really didn’t matter what it was.

I’ll have to upload a couple sketches I did.

Oh and with shading, when drawing it’s kind of an experiment but I’ve found the best…[Read more]

Why are some people rewrapping a fresh tattoo? Isn’t that going to overmoisturize and leave heavy scabbing?

How long have you been drawing? I used to draw a lot as a teen and even won 1st place at a fair back in So. Cali. But now I’m back to drawing again after 10 years. I have a long way to go before I get back to the way I used to draw. It takes time, and there’s always room for improvement. Your drawings are pretty good, some lines here and there…[Read more]

Not a fan of tramp stamps… well, maybe just the word tramp stamp. I like tattoos on girls near the pelvis and ribs. But it really depends on the tattoo and the girl. 😉

From what I’ve read/heard, sunblock is the same as sunscreen, just packaged differently. Don’t know how true this is.

You don’t have to go the girly route if you don’t want to and it doesn’t have to be all the same theme. There’s plenty of people with sleeves that’s made up of random stuff. I’m working on getting my sleeves done but it’s all random stuff I’ve gotten over the years. Well actually there’s kind of a theme I’m going for now on both arms. :p

Honestly, I usually don’t even use sunscreen or sunblock. Never really have and I’ve never had a sunburn… ever. It’s weird but that’s just me. I do use sunscreen every once in awhile, but I don’t really need it and my visible tattoos are just fine.

That sunscreen is just way overpriced, I wouldn’t pay more than $10 for sunscreen. Just go to…[Read more]

I think anything that’s raised above the skin can’t be tattooed. Not 100% sure, but it makes sense to me. 😮

Any time you have an idea for a tattoo, it is wise to let the tattoo artist make the necessary changes to make it a good tattoo. From my experience this usually means using the idea and tossing the original drawing. There’s a reason we get paid for our talents. So don’t get upset when your artist tells you he or…[Read more]

She just told me she found it with the caption “we are one”. It really looks Japanese?

It doesn’t look like anything cause there’s really only 2 symbols. After translating that quote, I can’t place it with anything. If it’s an ancient script, it’s going to be difficult to find out what it is. I’m Googling like hell…[Read more]

It’s starting to look scripted (which I’m sure all the Ink series are)… especially when Ami keeps talking about how much the bills are every month. I don’t TLC would let him lose his shop… no shop, no show. :rolleyes:

I have no clue what that is. Doesn’t look like any language. Ask that person on their FB what it is. To me the first and last image may be a symbol from an Asian country but then again the stuff in the middle throws me off.

Hear that? That’s the point going over your head.

A good artist typically won’t do a poorly designed piece no matter how much a customer wants it. Not if they’re any good. Once again, tattooing works by word of mouth. Every piece you put out there is an advertisement. But I’ve already said that in much greater…[Read more]
