I think it looks really good, esp the part with the street signs and cow skull. Maybe you could repost pics without the irritation in your arm so we can see better? The other one looks so fresh it makes the original not look as good. It’s just hard to see it as a sleeve rather than individual tattoos. So put up some…[Read more]

Who’s doing this tattoo and where? Is it the same person or different people?

A lot of the above is very helpful and insightful advice so the only thing I’ve got is checkout Thomas Hoopers work, http://meditationsinatrament.com/ , or maybe Jondix, http://holytrauma.com/ . Take your idea to the tattooer who is going to do it and let them play with it adding their flavor as this will give you the best tattoo! Online tattoo…[Read more]

I am going back to the same artist who did my back piece, Tim Beck from Freedom Ink in Peoria, Illinois. I really like his work and I think he does an amazing job, a script could definitely be an idea, but I feel like a portrait will really capture all of the details that I remember about her more than a script, let me know…[Read more]

I liked that purple a lot too, it’s called “plum” i guess. looks wicked 🙂

Awesome, thanks. I may have to get some put on the next tattoo screaming add purple!

Thanks; that was a lot more constructive. I’m in Bristol, England.

So please take in mind I am an American with not much knowledge to your location/distance/willingness to travel for a tattooer or shop so I hope I can continue to be useful. Or maybe some tattooers and/or tattoo customers more familiar with where you are at…[Read more]

Why can I not see this image? I want to check this out????? Thanks.

If you want a good tattoo goto a good tattooer and they will draw up something better than you could ever imagine as a good tattooer knows. They can take your idea with placement (body curves, other tattoos, etc) and other variables into account and make a truly custom piece of art. Many of the tattoo designs on the internet are not drawn by…[Read more]

who are you thinking about going to for the portrait? you could always do some bad ass script of your pets name. I often think good script is better than a portrait. Portraits have gotten lots of “airplay” so naturally lots of people get turned on by them but only a few actually execute a good one. Look forward to hearing more.

So much valuable stuff has been said so I will just ditto most. Each persons healing is unique to them so just continue to get tattooed and learn from quality tattooers that don’t do visible tattoo spots until a large portion of the body is covered.

I like the purple in the clouds as the first thing that caught my eye after the first sitting were the clouds and the purple fits right in. thanks for sharing.

I’d suggest going to The Chicago Tattoo Company. Here’s is Nick Colella’s website http://lostsoul.com/home.html but there are tons of other tattoers there that do very impressive tattoos respected worldwide. If Nick’s work doesn’t fit your liking maybe post over here http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/ as there are lots of other Chicago area…[Read more]

I like the diamond in the center and shading, thanks for sharing and the concept sounds very interesting. Looking forward to more and oh yes, congratulations.

I would say all the above said and enjoy reading the humor with positive comments rather than negative ones, thanks.

it will continue to be awesome!

As long as the individual is happy with what they’ve done I have no reason to say it is not awesome for them! Autonomy.

Cool, thanks for answering. Look forward to the pictures and that is often the best time to bring up a new tattoo idea when getting another tattoo so you can talk about it while getting tattooed.

I like this style of art, Dia De Los Muertos meets Lady Head, but haven’t seen it executed by many as good on skin. The outline looks rad so will be curious to see the finished product. It seems the ones that look best on skin do less colors than say a Sylvia Ji painting. It is a very Chris Conn meets Scott Sylvia tattoo style when done to my…[Read more]

This is all a hard call and think it would be unique for each individual in that moment. Never say never right? As I was reading all these I thought of this recent tattoo thread I read: http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/tattooforum/threads/219-Would-you-let-your-kid-get-tattooed-before-18

That is pretty gross, but at the end of the day it is each to their own. I personally wouldnt do it, but if it is his way of expressing himself, and if he likes it then good on him for showing it and not caring what others think.

I agree! Curious to see what this looks like in five years? will he continue to add or stop? hmmmm
