Your guy sounds like a real douche. There are no rules for this subject. Most people will not use the same artist all the time.

Thanks for the reply. If he had a shop I’d go there. The problem is that his studio is a private residence behind a locked gate. He’s never there at any specific time. I know where he lives but just showing up at his house is like, kinda crossing the line.

I guess I don’t need advice on how to handle this guy. I’m more interested in knowing…[Read more]

Hi

I have seen quite a few similar designs on straight males – as they say you get done what pleases you.
I wouldn’t worry a damn about it and they make for great tattoos.

Take Care

Right……

It’s cool the way it is. The more elaborate portion of it is amazing, imo. I just wanted a larger bird on my pec, is all.

Update – I texted him the idea and he seems to think it wouldn’t work. Hrm. Oh well…

That’s what I figured. I wanted to ask first here before I asked this dude to do it. Like you said, I basically just want to extend it. The tattooed area isn’t raised that I can tell but there is still a good sized scab because it’s new. I imagined that the texture of the original might show through slightly but I doubt it will be noticable.
