hello and welcome mate 🙂

thanks for all the positive comments up to this point everyone. i’m more and more chuffed now about how this is going. originally i was going to go for the quote written out and wrapped around some sort of pattern but having a good think about it and changing it to a pictorial representation of the quote has been the right choice. on top of that a…[Read more]

This is a beautiful piece of work – can you share who the artist is, or have I missed that somewhere….

Thank you:) the artist is Dave Bryant who is working at Evil from the Needle in Camden Town, London.

hello and welcome. 🙂
im sure you’ll come to a think of a design that you would like in no time. you can always let us know know what you roughly want and maybe more folk can suggest ideas for you?

eighty4, here’s a couple of pics of the whole arm after 7 1/2 hours work

i don’t think ive seen many of this type of designs before but its an interesting piece. im sure once its healed it will look different again and then change more so as its being completed.
enjoy it mate, and look forward to seeing its progression 🙂

eighty4, i’ll do my best to get a pic of how its currently all looking later on today.

outlaw, im unsure yet whether the artist is going to be adding any highlights. tbh he kinda decides upon what needs to be done on the day!

well some more work was done today…expected to do 2 1/2 hours however stopped at 2…think dave (the artist) wants to see how this part heals up before hopefully one last session on the lower arm. anyhow here’s some pics…

hope to get some more pics up when this stage is healed. currently next session is not gonna be till May (gonna wait…[Read more]

glad someone else isn’t bothered about ‘Friday the 13th’!
nice tatt, different compared to the stars you normally see on people’s wrist’s

im getting my sleeve done at evil from the needle in camden town, london. there work there seems spot on but i think i’d be right in saying its the artist thats makes it all.
best bet i would say from my learning curve from my tattoo is to find out what style/type of tattoo you are after then ask for opinions on who are the most apt tattoist to do…[Read more]

hello and welcome:) you got some pics of your tattoo’s? also what you getting tomorrow?

Hello and welcome mate. To post pics use an image hosting site and direct link into the thread.
Hope you enjoy your stay and please post pics up of your ink!

I too thought the way you are regarding my sleeve. I based mine on a quote and picked out 3 major parts and for the remainder of the space I talked to my artist and we came up with what we could use to fill the remaining void.
I would say think of an image/quote/prominent things first. Then you can plan what you want around it based on what the…[Read more]

To display a pic you can use tinypic to host it. Google them, upload your pic and they’ll provide you with a direct link which you can copy/paste into a thread and it will immediately show the pic.

As for your question, maybe think of a design you’d like then see that artist’s impression of it. That way your mind won’t immediately have a negtive…[Read more]

nice work mate! really like that design…can’t wait to see the end result!

cheers mate for the reply.

i’ll continue with the bepanthen then. got some fragrance free moisturiser at the ready for afterwards.

many thanks for clearing this up.

thanks for the reply whoji.

when i had the outline done i used bepanthen for 7 days before switching to a moisturiser. do you think it best i do the same or continue using the bepanthen till all the peeling/cracking/flaking has gone and then begin with the moisturiser?

here’s a couple of pics

personally im not a fan of tribal. i think mainly its because I see it everyday. I’m in the army and i’d say a massive majority of serving tattoo’d soldiers (well in my regiment anyway) have some form of tribal on them. i guess its just a ‘see it everyday begin to dislike/get bored with it’ attitude.
im sure if i wasn’t in this job that maybe…[Read more]

i just say ‘its not what i would have, however if you like it then fair enough’…everyones different and if the wearer likes it then thats all that matters. i’d never lie to them though.
