Not to scare you, but I knew a girl who had Tinkerbell on the side of her stomach, then got pregnant. It wasn’t pretty! I hope you’re going for colour too 🙂

Just had a look in your album, looks great so far, nothing like a big rib piece on a nice body 🙂

Well I’m currently looking through all the tattoo mags I’ve collected over the course of a couple years for some inspiration for myself, I’ll let you know if I can find anything similar for what you’re looking for.

I don’t have much meaning behind my arm – I just love skulls (I can thank The Phantom for that) and just love the old-school, colourful stuff.
Welcome anyway 30Hz

Man, you have been around for a while…
Welcome 🙂

Most places you visit won’t draw you something unless you give them a monetary deposit, it’s normal to pay for a sketch they do.
However what you’ve described, it seems pretty easy to draw, and any decent artist should be able to do it no worries. I’ve seen tattoos similar to what you’re asking, the writing is usually in a banner over the…[Read more]

Hey Matthew, congratulations on the apprenticeship, and staying clean.
I’ll give my (unprofessional) advice wherever I can 😉

Looks awesome (he’s pretty pissed about something though). Nutz has done a good job 😉

What can I say, we have a lot of decent artists in Aus 😉
I’m curious as to whose signature that is too.

Yeah, they’re not exactly cheap are they?
But then again, you end up paying more for…[Read more]

While I’m not one for tattoos about partners, the artist has done a good job and there’s plenty of things you can add to it if you get bitten by the tattoo bug 🙂
How’d you like the sensation of getting tattooed?

There’s actually a guy on here who has started a Marvel sleeve, Venom was in it I think. Try doing a search for it, it shouldn’t be more than a week old. Might give you some ideas anyway 🙂

Heres my bicep on the same arm….I love this all red piece! This is about 8 months old…maybe a little older. Still bright and vibrant.

You’d hope it was still vibrant after only 8 months 🙂
Your mentor does some awesome work, learn as much as you can from him!

LOL! Your Ma rocks.
Yeah, that’s the problem with tattoos, a lot of people just keep getting more despite their initial intention of getting only one.

Guilty as charged. Welcome Marion 🙂

Al- Pics should be at the top of page 2? As everyone on here says though, it looks better in real life ;). I might take some more pics once it’s stop flaking (I’ll shave my arm too) and get someone with a bit of talent to wield the camera.

LotusCordova – A burning cabin sounds like a pretty cool piece, I’ll definitely look up some more voodoo…[Read more]

Holy sh*t, the possibility of actually being able to do something like this never occurred to me. I personally wouldn’t do it, but it’s a glimpse into the future of body modz, eh?

Welcome. You are not alone in the “no artistic ability”. I have to rely on lots of research and an artist I really trust.

Pretty much this post + 1. I couldn’t draw to save my life! 🙂

My artist advises no swimming for 2 weeks. I guess it all comes down to how much you think it’s healed. If it’s still scabbing/ has scabs on it, I wouldn’t go swimming. If it’s finished that stage, and all you have left is silverskin, I guess it couldn’t really hurt the tattoo.

I’ll send you a pm with a link to forum where things like that can be openly discussed, also, if you find a member named Outlaw, there’s a link in his name which will take you to another forum where technique and tools of the trade can be talked about 🙂

I prefer cruisers too, but I’ve been having a lot of fun lately on a CBR 600 😉
