If you want to know what it will look like beforehand go to an artist who will draw it up for you, or as Matthew says look on the internet. The images search on google is a good start.
If you don’t know any artists just find your local tattoo shops and go along for a chat. You will soon get an
idea of who you want to do it, and who has the same…[Read more]

I’m interested in how you get on as I’ve just had a tattoo that I’m not happy with, the line work is poor. I raised the issue and the shop owner said he would make it better for me, and to be fair it is better but it’s still not great.

Are you sure that’s a true mirrored image? I’m not 100% sure here but I think that if you look at that in the mirror the letters will be the right way around but it will still read back to front. Take for example an the lettering on the fromt of an ambulance, the letters are still in the same order, but each…[Read more]

I like the idea of having the writing in mirrored image so that you can read it, and haven’t seen this done before.

Ink I Like

Japanese Dragon Concept

These are two albums I posted where I found pictures on the net. I hope you likey.

Thanks very much, I really like Andy Shou’s work 😀

If you’re unsure, don’t do it. Remember it’s for life.

Others opinions shouldn’t really matter. That’s OK in theory, but the reality is we do listen to others opinions. If you want my two penneth worth I think it looks like a unique take on a heart, rather than a unique take on 23. I would never guess it said 23 in a million years, sorry 🙁

I wanted to get a tattoo behind my ear but someone told me that they won’t do this now. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is correct?

Thank you

I don’t know of the legality of it all but I’m pretty sure you could find someone to do it if you really wanted

Aren’t there some strong acupuncture points in that area? It’ll be like having some therapy whilst being tattooed 😉

Ya.. I wasn’t volunteering my tat for you.. it’s just to show you my style..

Yeah I got that thanks :p

That’d be great thanks 😀

Hi,
I really like that quote. My only concern regarding your idea is from how I read what you say you’re gonna have to split the quote up and put it on both sides of your body, which to me would look like 2 seperate tats, therefore 2 separate quotes and would lose some of it’s meaning/impact. Just my opinion 🙂

Go to my profile and check out my dragon on my ribs. It’s just the linework so far… I also have pictures of other things you may like in other albums I’ve posted. Enjoy.

Looks sweet, but a bit too feminine for me 😉 Like I said I want more of the tradtional japanese style though.

Would love to see it when it’s finished 🙂

Ya know, I find it weird that a tattoo artist with the handle “Outlaw” would advise getting all Dr. Phil on the boy. Izzy, not so much, but come’on, Outlaw, I vote we rename your account “Responsible-Reasonable-Adult”.

I disagree with the crowd here. I really feel like you need to just shut…[Read more]

I would suggest getting the design before you go for a couple of reasons. The main one is this way you’ll have put some thought in to what you want and so it’ll be more likely to be a tattoo you really like and won’t regret it in a few years. Secondly it’ll save a lot of time. If you know roughly what you want but can’t find the exact design take…[Read more]

Very strange take on a quaver. Not my cup of tea but looks like it’s been done well 🙂

I guess it all depends on your relationship. If you’re in a commited relationship I personally think you should definately voice your concerns. I have recently been enquiring about a new tattoo, but when I ran it by my fiancée she said she wasn’t too keen on the idea so I’ve scrapped it. She never asked me not to get it but I respect her opinion…[Read more]

Hi is there any chance of a photo taken from further away to see how the tattoo sits from a distance, it’s sometimes easier to picture this way 🙂

Hi, if you want flowers on there have you considered having both yours and your father’s birth flowers? Each month has it’s own flower so very much like the birth stone principle. As for placement, you’re very brave considering having it done on your ribcage 😉 Have you considered having it start on your foot and working up into the lower part of…[Read more]
