Can you post a picture so we can get an idea of how much room you have above and below and how large your tattoo is in general?

Thanks

Just as ArniVidar said, you need a lot more time to think this through. At least a year to six months minimum to think up a design. But I have an idea for you.

First of all, thank you both for your answers! Don’t worry, I will definitely take my time to decide on a final design, I’m well aware that tattoos are forever.…[Read more]

That sounds interesting! Would love to see a picture when you get it done 🙂

Thanks for the welcome everyone, this board is really great. I cant stop reading 😀

Terry I have been trying to draw some of my ideas on myself but it just ended up looking horrible due to my complete lack of skills 😉 I will try the printing version, thanks for that idea!

Hello and welcome to the board!

I am by no means an expert but looking at the portfolios I would go with the first one. What exactly are you looking to get? The artist is showing some very different styles on the myspace link, so just asking out of curiosity.

Im sure youll get some more answers from more experienced users 🙂

First let me say that I am from Germany but based on our sad history I always appreciate the commitment of the American troops so thank you for your service!

I also agree though, that your typical cute little mickey is not very manly, so Ive been thinking about how you could…[Read more]

If it was me I would emphasize the middle bar of the E a little more, before I knew what it was meant to say I couldnt make out the “El” to be honest. Other than that I agree with you, the cleaned up version looks nicer imo 🙂

there will be a section of graffiti in the tattoo and he did say it wasnt his forte, would it be wrong of me to ask whether one of the other lads is better at the graffiti to that section?

I think since your artist told you right away that graffiti is not his strong suit it would be perfectly fine to ask him if he…[Read more]

That is a seriously great piece of art! All the parts look very well done, I especially like the font choice for the words.

That looks like a really sweet cover up!
I just have to ask though: You have eyes tattoed on your behind? That sure is an interesting place 😀

Looks really well done, the design of the angel is amazing. Very niece piece! Please keep posting, would like to see the finished product.

I really like your design, all the elements work very well together. Great choice and great execution!
