Tribal is never going to get good feedback here, dj. And the folks here have really, really high standards for what they consider a quality tattoo.

Yep, the last thing you’d want to have in life are high standards….mediocrity is truly the spice of life.

KittyKat200 – This may sound silly to you but, What’s a lightbox? (as mentioned in your thread starting post)

^^I’m from New Jersey and have trouble understanding people south of the Mason-Dixen line, let alone from the other side of the river, lol … while reading your post, for one split second I thought to myself “Why would he want to start…[Read more]

Two thumbs up on the choice of artist, but now your required to keep us posted!

Well, you’re starting to look at better artists, that’s for sure. Having said that, this guy johnny jackson seems to have a very cartoonish style, which is not my cup of tea..but he’s good at what he does. Be careful though if you want realistic ink, look at his piece of J.C. it’s not exactly good IMHO but that’s bc he’s a cartooner and the…[Read more]

Arms -Going out: I just make the ink side of my tee shirt sleeveless by rolling it up. Most people are smart enough to figure out the shiny ink is new ink…
Going to work: I wear dark colored walmart dress shirts, they absorb the extra ointment…if you use a light colored shirt it looks like sweat stains and then turns a tinge of yellow once…[Read more]

Tony Mancia only charges $150/hr in Georgia and his work is incredible, whereas there are mediocre guys in NYC charging $175/hr. Then again, I doubt the rent for a shitty studio apartment in Atlanta is $4K/mth (which is what some of the apartments in the Village run).

Welcome,….who’s the artist? what shop?

This guy’s black and gray work is average…so if you’re looking for average ink, you’re in luck.

Why I said what I said: The artist knows how to contrast between black, light black and skin….but he has no colors in between, also he has not demonstrated even one piece with a focal point OR (and most importantly) atmospheric perspective.

What…[Read more]

very nice! how the hell did that only take 6 hours, that’s pretty impressive.

Really???

I wish when I was writing research papers in college that I could’ve just posted on a forum and had all my research just flow to me…. that’d almost be like doing no work at all….:rolleyes:

If it’s part of the skin, it’s checked…. a good artist will typically dodge any skin abnormalities unless they’re extremely minor… but as far as ‘visable through the darkest of the darkest’ i’m not so sure. As I was saying look up my SN, find my ink…when you look at it generally you won’t see any freckles or whatnot on parts that have…[Read more]

I myself have been blessed with polish skin, meaning I have freckles, moles, and sunspots pretty much anywhere that gets to see the sun… my dermatologist (after seeing my ink) decided to share the ink he had on his back with me.. it prompted some questions, but , as he went on to explain to me, ink isn’t going to stop a mole from traveling and…[Read more]

I’m jealous of the xmas present you bought yourself (I’m assuming you picked it up for yourself, bc if a lady did that for you then I’m reallllly jealous)

Alex55 – buttwheat and arnividar basically said it for me. But to tell you the whole truth, the only artist in NJ that I would ever consider getting work done by is Chris Adamek and I still wouldn’t do it…he needs a couple more years to evolve… http://chrisadamek.blogspot.com/ he’s at immortal ink in flemmington/clinton but I can tell you…[Read more]
