hello and welcome:)

seen your tattoo and its quite nice tbh. do you plan on having a full leg sleeve/half sleeve or just something to finish that piece?

Hello, thanks for asking for me. I’ll give that a go…just gotta learn how to Photoshop stuff!

As for my other arm…won’t be going to the same artist. Going with an idea of opposites I’ll be lookin for a female artist to do that one. Won’t be for a while anyhow so gotta plenty of time to scout someone out. Also may not even be someone in the uk…[Read more]

Thanks for the comments folks! I’m extremely happy and proud of it. Glad I took so long in thinking/gathering ideas, then I guess it was just pure luck to get the right artist to complete the piece.
Next session booked for sept.
The only drawback with the quality of this tattoo is it’s gonna take something special for my other arm to match up to!…[Read more]

tbh i never find it all painless or painfree! however the forearm wasn’t so bad. as for my most recent session which concentrated on the top part of my upper arm and onto the top of my shoulder that certainly tickled! especially around the collar bone. feeling the vibrations come right up my neck was a weird experience!
i think on my next session…[Read more]

hello and welcome…im sure you’ll enjoy your stay!

sometimes those photos are photoshopped , its quite easy to totally change an back ground colour in a photo.
but if you wanted it doing professionally most photographers would be willing .
what part of the uk you in i might know someone in the business ..

got some more pics to add. there a little clearer so hopefully more detail should stick out.
i really do need find someone for once its all done and dusted to get some proper pics taken of it….wouldn’t mind one in the style that shows the whole arm over a series of 4-5 pictures. anyone know of anywhere this could be done?

seriously its looking good , how much your guy charge an hour ?

tana

cheeky:p

being charged £70 an hour…so far im at 11 hours of work. shouldn’t be too much work left i don’t think, the underarm and then the final touches all over.

well today another one and a half hours of work was added to my sleeve! and one word….WOW! its really come alive now all over the piece. just took some photo’s and although poo im so chuffed i just had to share it!

let me know what you think…tomorrow i’ll get some better/clearer pics up. these just don’t do any justice to the amount of…[Read more]

Hello and welcome:)

from what I’ve seen/heard about rib pieces I’m sure the tattoo artist will be able to adapt to working on a moving area. I suffer from hayfever as well but tbh a tablet generally sorts me out so take whatever you do well beforehand and I’m sure you’ll breeze through it!

Be sure to post a pic of your piece when you’ve had it done!

Hello and welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay.

Hello and welcome:)

A truly amazing piece of work mate. I like the first tattoo you had for it’s originality but this one just blew me away. Being a fan of bigger pieces I like the whole street idea, looking in my eyes, like the olden days contrasting with how modern the man with the knife looks. Also the woman and child to me looks like an even older image (maybe…[Read more]

your really up for the big pieces!
well good on you I say, and if it comes out as well as the cherry blossoms have then you’ll be onto another winner!

well after i returned from a short holiday in thailand in april i finally managed to get a booking with my artist and yesterday (14/06) went in for my 4th sitting on my sleeve.
i choose to just put up pics of the newest bits of work, once it heals up i’ll pop up a pic of how the arm is looking at the mo.
so after 9 and a half hours im left with…[Read more]

here’s the thread for my sleeve

tbh i more a fan of larger pieces….there very addictive though….im already plaanning another sleeve!

Hi,

Without doubt i’d be willing to travel for a decent artist. I just hoped someone had some experience of a decent local place. look’s like i have found somewhere. 🙂

Thank’s for your kind reply.

no problemo 🙂
and glad you’ve found somewhere…be sure to post up pics once its done!
