i think its all to do with level of detail and time. don’t think having colours would affect the price that much tbh.

just had a gander at Jesse Shearman’s website for his company. Very impressive work!

hello and welcome:)
very impressive ink you have there! would you mind revealing the artist?

yep the skin will scab. keep applying the moisturiser and allow them to fall off naturally:)
if you do start to experience itching (i do but generally after the first few days), instead of scratching, give the area a slap. normally does the trick.

hello and welcome:)

Good call with getting more ideas but still taking into account what you previously said, what is a crappy tattoo in one persons eyes will not be in another. So ultimately whichever design you end up on be prepared that some may not like it as much as other. And reiterating what I said you will have to be happy with the tattoo design and tbh…[Read more]

a hand holding an angel?
or an angel looking down over a hand?

personally I like the idea of the first one, although it may come across as crushing the hand. the second idea just reminds me of the praying hands with rosemary beads images. although minus the praying and rosemary something could be thought up im sure.

have a look through his portfolio to see if he’s shading skills are up to scratch and what you are expecting from thsi piece. this should help you make the decision whether you want to go with this artist or find another.

well here’s a couple of pics from the work that was carried out Sunday gone. nothing major, just outlining has gone over again (is this what’s known as highlighting?) to make certain parts of the piece stand out.

Yep, some of the pics were taking with the aid of a mirror. I’ll have some updated ones in a couple of days which I’ll make sure someone else takes so you can see it all properly. For referance till then though the tattoo is on my left arm.

another update on my sleeve.
due to work commitments I had to cancel my appointment in September then also cancelled my rebooked appointment in October however…..today I managed to get to this one!
work done today was highlighting main parts of the sleeve that the artist wanted to stand out so nothing new with regards to it except a load of…[Read more]

its harsh to hear but I wholeheartedly agree with Outlaw here.
this is just another case of stupid people.
why not think of other options before hand, maybe a henna(sp)? why rush into things? why not have about a proper discussion with your parents? if your of legal age to have one then maybe there could be some leeway? and another persons view…[Read more]

how about a ‘vintage’ cupcake in black and grey?
