Tat looks good! Any more pics?

G35?

[ducktales]

Looking great man. Can't wait to see it all finished. bringing it all the way down or stopping where it is at elbow?



Im not too into old school look but quality looks good and interested to see how color comes out. Youre happy with it and thats what matters.



Love it! Artist did and awesome job on this!

might extend it down to 3/4 sleeve, not definite yet, but after seeing the dudes foodog above, i want a foodog on my other arm now.

[Wootywadwad]

Opinions on this brahs? I got it years ago and did the design myself for art in high school (poverty artist I know):



It seems a bit bare at the moment though, any ideas to add to it?

btw the character in the middle is my surname (i'm half-chinese)

[jordanl250]

really miring brah. how long did that take?

foodog will be my next one, if i get another tatt.

how much did that run you brah?

just over 8hrs around 1300 CAN and tip

[Voxmusculus]

very serious question brahs. where would i go to find an extremely accurate latin translation?? obviously for a tattoo idea and it cannot be wrong, would appreciate srs answers if anyone has an idea

inb4 google translator

I'm sure there are places online you can find it but there are probably latin translation books or something laying around(I mean how do people learn Latin these days?). What do you want it to say?

I'd find a graduate student in the Classics at a local university, and ask them to help you out. You could use CL, for one.

The other idea im having for the space in the top half of my sleeve is an oldschool watch that is going to be broken and damaged next to the skulls with my birth time on it.

Similar to this but broken and cracked.

Love the old school clock tattoos.

If you associate old school pocket watches like this with Alice in wonderland something is wrong with you or you dont understand their relevance in old school tattooing.

Please don't contribute crap to this discussion.

[Dhboy]

Pocket watches are a traditional old school tattoo along with skull and daggers, gypsy girls, hearts, lighthouses, swallows etc.

its just a well known tattoo type.

Another 3 hour session done, finished all backgrounds and started filling in bamboos. One more session to fill in the rest and tiger. Loving how the emblem came out.

Thoughts miscbrahs?

nope, that reddish area is actually blood and being swollen, its going to be 4 shades of grey and black.

I hope the people with huge asian tats are actually asian getting asian lettering pretty goofy instead of their own heritages ancient text. Asian tats have become the tribals.

I hope you have better things to do than care about what other people do with their tats

45 mins until i get the first session on my sleeve under way, having a buddah done today on my under arm, will post pics later

[Killacam09]

Anybody recommend a artist in the Houston area?

[Stillgoing111]

I have a total of three tattoos...two of which are on my lower back and were extreme mistakes of my youth. I want to cover them up into one large tattoo, but I'm not certain how that would look. Is anyone here a tattoo artist or have any artistic ability who could give some suggestions? Not certain how to fix the juvenile nature of these two tattoos into something meaningful/beautiful. :/

large back pieces on women = playground for artists, many things can be done. find a general theme, japanese, flowers, whatever you want, let the artist go ape ****.

Yeah, that sounds awesome...but I have no idea how they'd cover up the idiocy I paid to have permanently etched on my body.

And yeah...that's a smiley face on my spine.

Think I posted this in the other thread, but who cares.
This is my idea for basically a half sleeve right now, cannot wait any longer after watching my buddy get his started.


Almost positive I will be using south shore tattoo in Long Island, NY
I think usual rate is 150/hr might be able to work with artist though

Questions I have regarding it are
1. Would it look good as a half sleeve (or about a half sleeve, might end up being a little shorter) or do the light colors make it not such a great idea?
2. How long would I be looking at, so I can get a solid idea of cost

My girlfriend had a similar tribal tattoo and got a lovely coverup, took around 8 hours.

You can just about see the original tribal piece in the middle, can't full cover it up as it was so dark.

with your skin tone the yellows might get a little lost because that piece isnt ment to have block lines around the edges, but im sure a decent artist could work with you and some colours that would look good and still keep the feel to the piece

Wow, that looks amazing. If you wouldn't have said anything about her tribal I wouldn't have even noticed it.

I was thinking of having the smiley face further up on my back turned into the center of a flower, and have petals around it obviously. Then have the stem of the flower go from the smiley face down to my tribal, and have the tribal somehow be turned into grass. Not certain how that realistically would look though...

Yeah its even more un-noticable now that she has finished off the back piece.

Best bet would be to go and visit a tattooist and ask them what would be best.

Forgot to take into account my skin tone lol.
Naturally im not real dark, im fairly white but not pale at all but I can get tan in the summer so that would be something to think about especially since I live right near the beach.
