I realise each tattooist works at varying speed – but I haven’t any areas of black to compare with – and the amount in the last pictures took around 2 and a half hours . It seemed slow compared to the amount he got done with the outline – although there is flowers/ detail etc in it.
– Question to the experienced on here is —- is that normal…[Read more]

nice font etc — but I always fail to see what is the artistic merit or point of having your OWN name on your skin ?

– no-one else is going to be impressed with it – and you’re not likely to forget it are you !

– saying that – it is nicely done !

going to take ages !!:mad:

Just had another couple of hours done today – was slow going though and I think my original estimate of around 16 hrs was far too optimistic. – ( maybe about double that lol ! ) The solid black seems to take forever – and was by far the most painful I’ve had yet – glad there’s not too much of it left – then it should be lighter shades…[Read more]

superb – love the bright anime/cartoon style – makes me wish I could start again !

great – try and get some pics from the other side too !!

not my type of thing at all – don’t like the tree – think its badly drawn and lacks detail – silhouette’s are a nice idea though !

I would have thought that as long as they werent offensive then it would have been illegal to discriminate on the grounds of having a tattoo ( and actually telling you so !! )

( I know the British police force didn’t allow forearm tattoos on show many years ago ( you had to wear sleeves down) – but nowadays they allow them !

When you eventually find the artist you want — pay him/her lots of visits and if possible see his work in the flesh – not just in photos . How enthusiastic the artist is over the piece you want does make a difference !

you put that better than I did !! lol

– criticise yes — personally abuse someone for their choices – no !

I’m new to this forum and I cant believe all the “I love it” type comments on here — surely not everyone likes everyone elses tattoos ?

– very few people seem to criticise others art ?
– that said – not liking someones work is totally different to judging their right to have it ( or indeed where they have it !) -saying I wouldn’t personally…[Read more]

tattoo’s fine — though I’m in the camp that wouldn’t have one on my neck ! – each to their own though – as long as you’re happy with it is all that matters.

– the thing about the position is maybe as you get older you may regret it as I would’ve thought you’ll get more negative than positive comments – I hope you dont ! 😀

really like it —- so different to other tigers that you see all the time !

just used some on my new back piece – works well – but still scabbed slightly – and tbh its more for an arm piece etc ,, – products are far too small for a large tattoo – you need loads – bottles are tiny !

– going to use bepanthen for next session followed after a few days by an ordinary moisturising lotion
– there’s loads on the uk…[Read more]

( I already have a traditonal dragon and a samurai – nothing wrong with them at all – just fancied something a little out of the “ordinary” )

doesn’t reflect anything at all ! – and the “veins” you mention are very light lines to reflect areas of shading that need adding ( the woman has no veins in her legs or anywhere else ! ) and no shading at all in it yet so obviously no shading for you to see !! = not going to be coloured – just black and grey !

– don’t know what you’re…[Read more]

Just a bit of an update — first of all I’ll sort of alter my position slightly on tipping someone who I believe is well paid enough already. After sitting for the first 5 hours of my back piece I thoroughly appreciate now the difference between an “artist” and someone who just puts flash on ( and I don’t mean to dismiss that side of the art…[Read more]

well shitehawk – since we’re getting personal – I ‘ve had a look at your page — and for you to call someone a dick – what a joke – like a big kid — obsessed with zombies ?? – love / peace metallica ? — how old are you – 14 ? – life full of responsibilities is it ? lol get a life – and get down a gym ffs !!!

– and I’m not saying…[Read more]

nice response – and for having a different opinion to you I’m a dick ?? – simply because I believe a price agreed is a fair and honest one !

– for your information – tipping in the uk is nowhere near as common as in the states – and tbh very few people do it for professions. As far as tattooing goes, I’m very much a novice and as to what the…[Read more]

( and btw – the whole “tip” thing is another americanism – that is mainly important for the low paid service industry — not people on a bigger hourly wage than solicitors ot doctors ) – and I don’t think the next time you get a solicitors bill that you’d tip them ! – nothing to do with jealousy – just a price for an hours work is exactly…[Read more]
