You should be VERY proud, mate! Your apprentice work is 100X better than most professional’s that are in the business for a long time already. Good for you. For you to get better and better over time is a scary thing, and I mean that in a good way:) Congrats.:cool:

I like everything about this tattoo. 🙂 Congrats on your first ink! Welcome to the obsession:cool:

This would be a sweet Batigirl tattoo. I love the color rendition in the cape. The purple in the cape and iconic blue Batman-tone in the gloves and boots is an awesome combination and would stick out quite nicely. Plus, the pose is right on key with the Diana tattoo. Obviously, you can get any rendition of her suite as you’d like but I love the…[Read more]

I love my fellow comic-geeks, haha. You know, I agree with everybody here and your gut feeling with the woman chemistry and symmetry is certainly the way to go. What’s good, is that even though you love the character of Batman, atleast Batgirl is within’ the Bat-family and givin’ that tidbit, I think it’s even cooler to go with Batgirl to go with…[Read more]

I’ve enjoyed your work ever since the first page. I thought you were VERY solid from the very begininng and you’re obviously getting better. Congrats dude, you’re well on your way.

So the fact that I have a different viewpoint from the majority of posters in this thread makes me a “troll”? Real mature guys. Grow up. This thread is about my Spider-Man tattoo, not some hipster internet lingo I could give two craps about.

Dude, if you like the tattoo, then why so defensive? It’s all about who wears…[Read more]

I am confused, as I frequently am,

I see the tattoo in his profile album, superman is lighter blue, lots of white blended in,

now he is dark, got a spot in his chest and muddy as heck……….what happened to it?

(of course this will lend itself to being made into bizzaro, but if the new artist did these shitty blends,…[Read more]

Spider-Man is going to black in the upcoming movie. It’s a fact, look it up. Why can’t Superman be portrayed as something other than white for once? He’s a fictional character. Then again, what do I know? I haven’t had my tattoos for ten years so according to the people on this forum my opinion is invalid.

Dude, get to…[Read more]

Why is Superman always depicted as a white man in tattoos?

Because since he was created in 1938 by his originators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, he was depicted as a white man, because he is a white man. George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill, all Superman’s. All Caucasian in Superman…[Read more]

I actually think the tat looks really good! the background Is def sick.

Thanks man. Here are other angles in case your interested in seeing the entire tattoo.

I would obviously have to re-do the swoosh as well with darker tones. I’m thinking about having Superman inside of my arm in a fighting pose looking up at…[Read more]

Let’s rewind a little. Who the fuck is bizzaro or whatever the hell he is called?

Haha, Bizzaro was Superman’s arch nemesis, Lex Luthor’s, failed creation on cloning Superman so Lex can use him against Superman himself.

Instead of Lex’s creation coming out perfect, the experiment and cloning process went wrong and the…[Read more]

the one problem with your bizzaro idea is the “s” on bizzaros chest is backwards and the superman you want to turn into bizzaro doesnt have a backwards “s”.

Yeah, there’s pretty much nothing I can do at this point other than make it look as grungy and dark as possible. Make it look more dark-purpleish so to speak.…[Read more]

I think that this final change will completely change the tattoo from a fixer-upper to an actual sleeve piece. Since Bizarro is supposed to be Bizarre, you can enhance and embrace his ugliness 🙂

I just hope she can actually do a good Superman for you!

That’s the plan my man! She’s good, real good. I have 100%…[Read more]

You sure do love Superman!

That’s the truth, haha. It’s funny how it all worked out because before the idea to do a coverup half sleeve, all I had was the symbol and a tribal band. After much thought, I said “what the hell” in covering up the tribal and going for a half-sleeve that was themed that I always wanted.…[Read more]

I like that idea, but the only thing that worries me is your talk of white. White is bad, and there’s no need to willingly make that thing worse again 😀

Yeah, I like it too. Been thinking of a way to make it work for months. I’m going to talk it over with my tattoo artist asap. I wish to be done with this, putting a…[Read more]

Color aside (which the OP said is going to be added to the ship + more detail) I love how the piece has flow. The waves and proportion of the overall shape and position of the ship actually looks like the ship is going with the flow of the current that the wave is creating around the mass of the ship.. It brings a nice illusion and life into the…[Read more]

Nice! Never seen anything like that before. Very nice tattoo in the form of uniqueness. It was done very well too, across the board. Great stuff.

Totally unimaginative effort by the tattoo artist. No thought whatsoever. Just solid blue with stars and half-assed stripes that barely resemble anything but bacon. Because it’s so blah in creativity and just solid ink that lacks any kind of shading, it can defiantly be worked on to give it more character. Go to a different artist that specializes…[Read more]
