There are some amazing artists in Oregon, but do your homework, you can throw something about anywhere in oregon and hit someone who tattoos. Cant believe how saturated Oregon is with people tattooing

Id go see the guys over at Enigma, awesome people over there.

he does some pretty impressive work

wtf? thats crazy

solid, clean and smooth… Looks like good work, you should be proud to wear it.

it can be salvaged, but not as an eddie from Iron Maiden. When you are going for realism, you really need to find someone that does a ton of realism, or find someone that can pull off a decent stylized tattoo version.

placement is odd and the design couldve have used some more refinement for sure. People really need to do their homework when it comes to finding a decent tattoo artist.

You really really really should only do small to tiny tattoos starting out. Anything bigger than a baseball is far to big when you are just starting out. You have to learn to crawl before you run. And you have a very long road ahead of you.

second the flowers, you can do wonders with flowers when it comes to tattooing.

awesome, really like the use of the negative space in that one.

when someone says ink rejection, I think allergic type reactions, and I dont see any of that going on here. Aside from the obvious faults, these look normal. Tattoos never keep that fresh glossy look to them.

kinda hard to tell from the pic, but it looks pretty blown out in some areas.

its not a horrible tattoo, the lettering is supposed to be stone I am guessing? I would probably not try to cover this, it could defintely be made to look better with some more refinement and possibly some background to make it all come together and pop.

Beavis and Butthead,,,, when MTV still played music and life was much much simpler.

looks unfinished to me, its mostly open skin. Would definitely do something more to the eyes.

yeah, I definitely thought anchor and not thors hammer when I saw this

Bart Bingham is awesome, have one of his original paintings from years ago.

trees and feathers work well as you can really shape them to fit the areas of the body where they are going. Hard to go wrong with these ideas for a sleeve as long as you get a decent artist to design and tattoo it for you.

I would imagine most places wouldnt have a problem with this, especially if you show this kinda forethought and sincerity. I just know most places in the US are unable to tattoo you under 18 by state law.

thanks for the handouts
