I’m happy to have given you joy. You’re most welcome.

That looks like a pretty competent artist. Straight lines and realism definitely aren’t his forté, but the traditional looks solid enough.

So, what’s your question?
It needs to be improved. You need a better artist. Let’s start there.

These are things you should be discussing with your mentor, and you will not get any help on this in this forum, since it’s rules are anti-scratcher.

What you don’t understand is that your idea IS your next tribal. Way to go kid, your attempt at burn set fire to yourself instead.

But, I think we’ve had enough of your childish attitude here. Why you would get that instead of any of the other of the plethora of…[Read more]

Google it.

Nope. I’m not in the habit of googling TV series I haven’t completed. But that’s an English quote that I know comes from Catcher in the Rye, so I’m wondering what that’s doing in a Japanese Anime.

I guess it’s main purpose is to cater to those that aren’t sure enough and are afraid they’re making a mistake. I guess you’d then get the real one after a couple of years when you’re sure you like it??

Try before buy?

What does that logo have to do with Ghost in the shell?

What you can cover it with depends on how dark and large it already is. If you don’t want something large or dark, you’ll need to laser it off first. If it’s pure black you’re probably going to need a tattoo that’s at least 3-4 times bigger to have any sort of design that can completely hide it.

That’s not made from a template. You won’t find one.

The link in and of it self isn’t too bad, but the endless ads and popups for gay porn sites is a bit NSFW 😀

Holy crap, that’s some excellent detail work.

i am going to fill my arm, and i need to sort of fix this before summer

See, those two just don’t mix.

First of all, filling your arm with more crap will not make you happy.
Secondly, you’re not going to be fixing this any time soon, if ever.

I’m not doing the plebe work of some 17 year old that doesn’t know a damn thing about the craft.

That’s the thing though. You are a plebe, and you don’t know a damn thing about the craft. Hence, the apprenticeship.

well a chainsaw could also help

That, or a belt sander perhaps.

I’d go for the laser, personally :p

What do you want help with, precisely?

That’s a very bad tattoo, and anything you add around it would either be ruined by it or emphasize how poor it is.
As I see it, laser is your only option. After months of that, find a proper tattoo artist.

I checked that in the UK 70£per hour is a top quality tattoo

Although there are obviously some correlations between price and quality, in as much as high quality artists are usually very busy and can afford to be both selective and pricey, but there is no way to say that X amount per hour equals Y quality tattoo. Some…[Read more]

If you like it, go ahead. Personally I think it’s too plain and boring as it is, and I would be willing to put money on that if you do it plain like that you’ll want to get it removed within 10 years.

I got some 10-15 emails at the same time, most of them really old quotes or likes from like 6-12 months ago. I’ve received emails from other posts since that time, so it was a weird time traveling experience.

Why do people always ask how long a tattoo will take instead of something important like is this tattooist that I picked any good?

Because the tattooist they selected is always good 😉
