Not a fan of it.

First time I have ever seen that done on a guy. Lettering looks like crap.

exactly, the recipe is as follows:

1 part blood
2 part urine
2 part Snapped BIC pen.

Mix by hand in a medium bowl.

That formula only works if you use cat urine. If you use your own urine the people you tattoo will become vampires.

Haha, OK. At least he has that going for him.

Drop the tattoo machine and start learning about art and drawing. Pick up a pencil and draw.

Ditto.

It’s a long, hard road to be self taught. Work on the art side, drawing, painting. Stop working on people. If you really feel the need, continue to do the grapefruit thing. Just stop working on people, a bad name never goes away.

No, no. We’ve been over this before. You need to tattoo a virgin Brazilian female with the chickens blood in order to purify the needles. Geez, don’t you guys pay any attention?

Whats wrong is your machines are losing their mojo when you tilt them out of sync with the earths rotation. The only way to remedy this is to kill a chicken on a full moon. Drain its blood into a gold cup and dip your machines in the blood while chanting the lords prayer backwards. Works every time.

Really think the heartagram is a bad idea. Also not the best idea to use a bunch of separate pieces to build a sleeve. It’s always nice to build one continuous piece from wrist to shoulder.

Same advice to you, James. Oh, by the way, the word you are looking for is “embedded”, although I think “incorporated” is a more accurate term. This English lesson brought to you by Dave Van scholastic group. Thank you for your support.

Look at the tattoo again. See where the flap comes from. Its well above the hairline.

Maybe a drop shadow might fix the illusion.

hey not bad, I like the vagina on her forehead too!

Ooops, my bad..

Dont worry I can take a crit. its a horn from a demon something on the lower arm.

Existing tattoo, not mine. the guy has a bunch of shit all over his arms.

Try something like this, add a little filigree to the sides to add symmetry to the whole piece. A good artist can clean up the line work without making the lines any thicker.

Kinda scary. Find another artist to fix it then design a BG to pull the two pieces together.

That doesn’t make any sense. I’ve never heard of a tattoo shop making their workers cover up their tattoos.

I know I can’t seem to figure it out myself either.

Ya I have to cover my tattoos for work which is kind of weird because I work in a tattoo shop. I’ve been meaning to ask about it but my boss beats me when I speak to her or any customers which is also weird because I cant sell any tattoos without talking. Get the hell up out of there and come on over to H-Town, at the very least Austin, come be…[Read more]
