I will look for actual examples, but think of each “thick line” in the tribal design. They can do dark blue to light from top to bottom of each line, the design as a whole, etc. Or even Dark blue to silver, or blue to yellow to green, or other complimentary color schemes.

If it had some other type of “flow” or attribute, like shading, as opposed to just the lines, the eye would not be able to pick up the suddle lack of symetry. The issue is it would likely take longer and therefore cost more, but if that isn’t that big of an issue something like that might work.

I will also look for an example, but hopefully I described it better this time.

Here this might be an example:

See then it might work okay. Again I would first get a placement idea from your tattoo artist and go from there to make a decision. then you can either setup an appt right away or setup one a little bit out.

Even if you have to set one for down the road, it will then act as a great motivational tool to get you where you are already on the right track to go. Good luck!

BTW, there are also some cool papers where you can printout your own rubon tat with a inkjet printer. It might sound a bit middle school, but better that then a bad tat for the rest of your life. It costs a few bucks and you can get it from several places. I have linked to tattoo johnny for it here: Free Tattoo Design Ideas You will see tattoo sample kit!

In this case i would talk to as many artists as possible before going to your artist of choice. This way you will have a lot of professional ideas to add to his/her comments. They will at least give you the idea if they can make them work together (maybe be adding in some conjoining pieces or a transitional piece that allows them to be separate (especially with a separator that says you are in fact made up of several things – which we all are)

How is that for profound?

yeah, it plays tricks on you because your (no ones) body is really symetrical…

Maybe the original one wasn’t ( i am looking at the very bottom piece). If you are worried throw more interest into it with more complex shading throughout the design ( they can cover the original and then do throughout (it might be the best way to make sure it is consistent anyway.

Not likely the pricklies too much, just an opinion. I think something could be styled a bit more. Do you want spikes as opposed to flames. What about some of the mechanical style tats. maybe like mechanical spikes springing out as a protective measure.

Kind of like if someone is sneaking up behind you, they should think again..

It will definitely change, plain and simple. On your ribs it might change less than if it were right on your stomach. Do you carry your weight right down the center down the abs, or more well rounded aroudn the ribs and back as well. You see where I am going with this?

The best advice would be to ask the guy/girl that will be doing the work. They will be able to see you in person and get an idea of where they would suggest to match your design to the contours of your body (as it exists now).

I have seen their insides…they have a lot of tattoos if that is what you are asking. And we advertise them on our site, but you have to really decide what you are looking to use them for. Since you are looking around as opposed to going in your local shop and choosing from the wall (which by the way is kind of what you are doing to tattoo johnny, chopper or whomever) I would assume you are looking for something to call your own.

Do you have an idea of the topic (Japanese style, traditional, tribal, etc) or more specific (dragon tattoo, tiger, etc)? If so there are also guides out there that just give dragons, for example, and are less money.

Basically, I always suggest on our site to spend the money if you are looking to save time. There will certainly be a lot of designs in one place. You can often take several design ideas and take them to your artist to ask them to create something unique with everything you brought in mind. Chopper and those sites are great to grab that type of info.

To go to the next level there are other sites, like tattoo me now that show you designs, real photos, member forum, etc all in one place. Keep looking, you are starting right by asking lots of questions.

Yeah, and the episode that showed the “falling out” had a series of excerpts of Kat saying that the shop sucked and that there are so many better shops in LA etc. You never really saw that in the episodes themselves (its called editing I guess) and Kat denied saying things like that but it was a long excerpt of time after time of her dissing the shop.

So I think the koi incident just broke the camels back so to speak and Ami just got fed up. It bit him though because shortly after she left he had to do a portrait. But he stepped up to the plate and proved what he said to Kat in that he pulled in off, you have to do all kinds of work and can’t just do one thing.

Well in his shop anyway! She will still be known as a top black and white portrait artists for now..

scrub, I totally agree, just being a bit of a smart ass because that is fairly hard to code. You’re right the tool is more for users to get an idea of different fonts as opposed to a tool for artists…

I have my work cut out huh – thanks for the feedback!

Most reputable artists would go back over it if you contact them right away to let them know it is blotchy. Most of them wouldn’t want you running around spreading bad publicity for them with a blotchy tattoo 😉

Wow, I think any artist (I am not one) will tell you it has to be bigger than 2″ to get the detail and keep it over the long haul.

Her style? I don’t think she has a style, it’s a bit of everything dotted around her body by the looks of it. I don’t know her personally so have no idea if she is a nice gal or not but she looks pretty dedicated to her skin decoration so good on her.
I’ve a feeling, in the flesh the contrast of styles on her will not look as good. Mixing styles is pretty difficult if you don’t run them into each other imo. If she pulls it off its pretty clever.

Well I think you kindof hit it..I would say that is her style by not having one..I always relay that as a “graffiti style” not in the type of art, but in that her body is kindof like a graffiti wall..one main style throughout but with some random stuff thrown in from some drunk guy that was walking by with a spray can…

So you are saying having a web version of photoshop would be cool?

In all seriousness, thanks for the feedback. I realize that may be a cool feature, and I will look into how feasible it would be to do something like that.

I do know that would require extensive coding…would be cool though…let me look into it before I jump to any conclusions.
