In all seriousness – what is it?
A map? Of where? What does the star represent (other than a pentagram)?
It is neatly done but I am scratching my head.

its a secret devil worship location map, but they forgot to put the footprints, trees and mountain range in :p

i would say dont wory too much about it at the moment…. tribal takes longer to heal, and if you are scabbing heavily then it will take a few weeks to heal on the top layers of skin, the skin layers deeper down take much longer to heal, i tell my clients to give it 8 weeks before touch ups on tribal work 😉

you might get what is sometimes known…[Read more]

welcome to the forum, try looking on sites like deviantart.com and ratemyink.com and google.com image search engine

welcome to the forum 😉

another artist in my town was offering an apprenticeship 2 yrs ago for £10,000 which is about $12,000 and like i say … that was 2 yrs ago

my advice is go along with sheravs way of doing it, offer for free…..

get plenty of ink done by the artist and then after a while of having work done, show him your portfolio of drawings and paintings…[Read more]

his airbrush work is cool as “F” but unfortunately he dont do much of it anymore

i think you will find that most tattoo artists have used airbrushes at siome point 😉

shading wont scab like a tribal would, it all depends on what you get done, some colours will cause scabbing more than others because they are harder to get into the skin so the area gets slightly harder worked on etc…. also everybodies skin is different.
dont be worried about it, you get away from the dreaded itching sessions as it heals…[Read more]

welcome to the friendly forum Gena 😉

it depends on how far you want to interpret something…. a lot of people say they have a half sleeve, when in reallity its only a 1/4 sleeve as it only covers the front half of the upper arm, if it went all the way round then its a half sleeve 😉

i got about 60 sheets of his flash dating as far back as the mid 90’s

and i totally agree about his work… specially his pinups… 😉

it sounds to me like a reaction to the cream for certain, try changing to either savlon or bepanthen, was it pat it dry then apply small amount and gently rub in about 4 times a day for 4 days until starts scabbing, then just use a none scented body lotion and all should be done after 10 days

there are a few creams you can use such…[Read more]

looks nice fry 😉
im loving the super shading on it, although a little bit of shading behind might have made it pop a little… but then we dont know what you have planned for future work ?

ps… did ya give the artist a tip ??

get a friend to help you out…. take a strip of paper with a straight edge that is long enough to wrap around your arm and overlap itself, now stand up straight and get your friend to wrap it around so that the overlapped edges match up perfectly….. now with a pen get them to draw around your arm using the papers edge as a ruler.

when you…[Read more]
