No, it’s ok to get pissed if your pissed,
You know as I have said many artists find it insulting to bring them too much in the way of reference, they consider themselves professional artists and they know for a fact they can create something better than you could ever find and they want your trust. But it doesn’t hurt to give them something to let…[Read more]

I feel better about this forum because I think a few people did figure this out,
Hell I didn’t know who to go to for my first, I chose I young kid people in town said was alright, but I got some just ok flash prices, my first tattoo being a Paul Jeffries flash dragon on my left bicep, but right away I wanted more and sought information, there’s a…[Read more]

He’ll yeah Al, I’m sure I will be touching up a few, I turned 50 hate to say, still mentally 14, but some color has fallen out of you places like elbow and stuff, no biggie, just another chance to go see your buds at the shop and touch it up, stuff looks great bright and new and I like to see new ink getting done

Look we think this art form is more than 10,000 years based on stuff that’d been found, do you think those early artists would put something as trivial as a ball club (had their been one) on their body?
He’ll no, they put sacred shit, stuff that meant the world to them,

Anything commercial is a no no to me, now just my opinion, is football really that deep, that important, now I love my atlanta braves and baltimore orioles and my world champion ravens, but their commercial logo on my body? He’ll no, your body is a temple, no graffitti you know what I mean, it’s more sacred than that. Buy a tshirt for gods sake,…[Read more]

I saw an older shop manager who showed me some 16 year old color work that I thought looked great, he keeps that shit out of the sun or well covered in SPF 50 or more, I want mine to look just as good when its 16!

Ouch that was a short thread

Hey now, everybody play nice, American muscle try what I said, look at Timothy Hoyer and Jess yen, I think you will find the worlds finest tigers

You’re taking your time and nothing wrong with that, at times I have felt I really tried to heal too much ink at once, trying to keep a large color piece looking like it was all done at once, you know what, it really doesn’t matter, using many sessions assures you have a great chance at healing well…….if I can find another place to put a…[Read more]

I really don’t like endorsing any team or anything on my body, also over a long period of years you may change your mind, if you got a tattoo to mark a place in your life, that doesn’t change, I feel the same about quotes, nothing has been said that should be quoted on my body or yours, get a real tattoo, a composition that says something abut…[Read more]

Sun is the ink killer, we should wear high SPF everyday

She called it, new traditional

Carlos is off the chart, a collectors dream,

Good start for sure

Wow tough crowd, always tough, good start on a collection of traditional. I dig it

This is what art is all about, expressing something about yourself, these are great, great looking, well done, this is what I like about ink, I wouldn’t know what your ink means just seeing you at Barnes and noble but the story is great.

Shit, I can’t say anything, I love adventure time

Hit the guys at sunken ship in Everett
