Congress and senate appropriate the money for the military – pay and toys. They have a LOT of control through those purse strings. That is why any military installation turns itself inside -out when one of them wants to visit.

yes— but the top general of the branch again, has control of what their troops do – personnel code wise

@ jinny— right spot on — i haven’t voiced concerns yet but want to when i see him next…that’s why i started this thread… totally difficult to convey what i think without offending him…and since it’s his ‘vision’ …and already made $1200 – he could just go “go fuck yourself”…then it’s either laser ot just a black f’in arm… i’m…[Read more]

Just ask him about what he thinks about what the progress will be. What will be done that session, if he have a clear idea etc.
Don’t just sit there and take shit.

Example;

Last tattoo I took, me and my artist were talking about the tattoo BEFORE doing it.
He wanted to use brown colors, I did not, so we agreed on blue /…

he did have some sketches worked up on the actual coverup…then the inner arm when he hit a sticking point the session before… he printed out some works of others for details he liked

k – i see him next tuesday…then in another 2 weeks…said it should take 3 sessions… i’m hoping for the best!

i hear ya bro…any suggestions on how i should approach him w/ my concerns…i don’t want to come off like a complaining dick for sure

This guy is a real old school tramp. Can’t believe he have done much biomech.
I’m not saying he is bad, just that this is way, WAY out of his comfortzone.

How did you manage to find this guy for your bio-cover-sleeve?

i was starting to kind of think this with the way that all of this has been going…he said he’s done a…[Read more]

i don’t see how any purse strings are pulled in this case — n one in making anything out of it – the top dog of each branch can makes whatever changes they want in regards to their personnel’s code —we’re not talking about things the millions spent on making stupid uniform changes where people are making the $$$

oh – and in regards to ‘blown lines’ …you are talking about those lighter lines that do not look dark right?…those are going to be his reference points for how he is going to shade it – it will be a lot cleaner for sure —he broke all that down for me

Ok – https://instagram.com/horishit/

if i can ask…what does something like that cost?

i can’t save anything from instgram…his family photos are on there as well…need to respect his privacy and work from just anyone seeing it online in an open msg thread…

i’m hoping so man!!!

k – you did… well – he does have direction…he’s a cool guy don’t get me wrong…takes pride in his work and doesn’t want to “just slap some shit on you”…reason he’s been drawing and erasing…drawing and erasing…see how can i go somewhere else w/ all that shit going on?

go for it! – i’m a big boy

Thanks for the heads up on pics… i just uploaded 2… as for the artist – let me grab some pics later …i really don’t want to put any links out there – never would want to hurt is business but my experience – shit happens..

well i can’t just insert a pic saved from my computer desktop…it’s asking for a URL – which i have no idea how to do…ugg

Picture of work so far and a link to his portfolio is necessary

I will post pics but I’m not going to put a link to his work as I don’t want to put him a blast on the internet – that’s not my style. any input would be greatly appreciated
