Debating getting a japanese theme / scene on my back, you guys got any good one? I've been thinking of japanese demon fighting, from the corner of my right shoulder down to 80% of my back and down to a bit of my left leg.

Looks good so far brah..

[turbodreams954]

Solid ink brah!

Thanks brah!

[bswoll]

Wow!! What colors will he use? What is that going to cost?

He said light grey/flesh colored on the face, green and yellow for the snakes. He wanted it black and grey first then just went full out color to make it life like. It's $150 a hour so he's going to have some money in it. Will be worth it though!

I have to say I really like this. Interesting piece, when and how are you getting it finished (color, just shading)
Unless by first session you simply mean first tattoo

Everything was great until the last pic IMO.

I think it looks really good. The elephant and tiger being the best pieces you posted. Is this the guy at lowrider who you want to do your work? What made you choose him over all of the other guys working there? Waiting list on any of them over there?

I dont konw why the guy said looked good till the last piece of Jesus you posted

several good artists at lowrider. probably couldn't go wrong with anyone there.

Just looked through all of their profiles on the site. Not inclunding Jun and Jose, 3 or so stood out as the best portfolios. Sam was one of them. I think from his stuff he is one of their better guys

[turbodreams954]

Bro, that **** is legit, color? next session?

Yes there will be lots of color and shading, next session in Aug 4. Can't wait to get some color in it! And get the inner part of the arm started also =] Thanks brah

I liked all their work, Jun was my first choice but he didnt respond to my emails. Sams work was my second choice. Im booked already, just wanted to get some other peoples opinion. Thanks!

[shaheenjamal]

Wow

if I could only get the stencil for this...

for something that custom i highly doubt its 100% stencil. theyd use bits and pieces.

I sent an email to Jun a couple days ago. I saw that he is out of the country now so I am not expecting a quick response. It is good to know that if he chooses not to book you that he doesn't give you a courtesy reply to say so. LOL, you would think he would so everyone doesnt keep sending him the same emails thinking he never got the first.

How far out is Sam booked for you to see him? Did you check to see about getting in with Jose? Wonder if he is as booked out as JUN. WHat rate does Sam charge?

Yea, from what I had been reading I had a feeling Jun wasnt going to reply back. Plus I didnt want to wait a year+.

I didnt even check with Jose, so I have no idea but I read that his pieces start at 1500 and you need to leave a 500 dollar deposit.


Sam quoted me from 600-1200 for the piece I want depending how much detail I want. Hes has openings this month last time i checked.

[m323]

What is the piece you want done? How many hours are you thinking it will take? 600-1200 is a big range. If that is based on detail , I hope you are planning on spending closer to $1200. When is your appt? Post pics when finished
