ITT:INK III!! A Home For The Collectors

[xslick]

Got my appointment set for next friday to extend my half sleeve onto my chest. The wait is killing me.

Know that feel. Getting my first tat on monday and this week has been one of the longest week ever.

pretty sure Lowrider opened a studio in London recently

Although good, they arnt at the same level as the guys from LA, nor some of the others names mentioned who reside in the UK.

Neo-Trad wolves look better than realism IMO. Never seen a decent realism wolf piece

i love stag chest pieces, neo trad

I agree on the realism part if we're talking about wolf tattoos. Traditional/neo-traditional just look so much cooler. I also think neo-trad deer look sick as hell (and not that hard to do), but I don't think it would fit me as well as a wolf. Checking out the instagram now, looks sick so far.

There are some nice ones out there, they're just hard to find.

this is prefect as is. WOW

Yeah man, it's the best neo-traditional wolf I could find in over weeks of looking. The only problem is finding an artist in my area (Buffalo NY) who can do something similiar without copying the work. I could wait til I get back to the city for a wider selection of artists but I'm just impatient.

Repped all three of you btw.


On another note, what do you guys (anyone in the thread) think about this artist? I think she has the best looking portfolio in my area to do a neo-traditional wolf on my chest: http://instagram.com/noelle_lamonica

Once again, will rep for any comments.

what you getting?

Here's what my artist sent me. It's obviously not going to look exactly like that, but similar, and he's still working on it. He's gonna add in a moon, cherry blossoms, and a lotus.
The important thing is the mountain, waterfall, and tiger because it represents something personal to me.

Her work looks clean, and she has done a few neo-trad pieces but dunno if she would pull off a good wolf. She has a simple line work wolf about 3 months back and it looks ok, but i dunno man. I would prob wait till you have a wider selection of artist as you mentioned rather than end up with a piece your not happy with.

xslick,

pretty classic and classy japanese tiger..

best done on a large scale..
keep the thread updated with your progress, im sure it will turn out great..

You looking for neo-Japanese or stylized Japanese work? Your artist work is not traditional Japanese.

If you willing to drive to the bay area you open the doors to some of the world's best at traditional Japanese body suit.

Ah Cool! Who you booked with??

Matthew James in the UK. He's my favourite artist and I'm really happy I get to start with him.

She's good but none of her tattoos have that "in your fukking face" quality of the wolf you posted (seriously, that wolf was ridiculous. I could stare at it for hours). I wouldn't take the risk if I were you. This isn't something you can undo.

[Epithet]

Really liking the 3rd and 4th, pretty sure they are done by jun cha

First and fourth are by Jun (captain obvious to the rescue!). Not sure who the third is by. Second is by Niki Norberg. If you're willing to travel to Sweden and wait 3-4 years, he's the man.

Not looking for Japanese. Just traditional Asian. I picked the artist I am getting it with because I like that style of work.

Ok, yeah that's cool. The artist you posted is a solid tattooer.

That traditional Japanese style is hard up, brah.

Google Hiroyoshi III. Tiger with cherry blossoms galour!

[storchskr]

He's good, but I'm not looking for that. I notice that his tattoos have a lot of waves and clouds. I just like mines traditional Chinese with a mix of Japanese.

so do you know what you like?

[newguy84]

Bout to jump back in the chair...

[KettBrah]

For a tattoo similar to this, how much money are we talking?

So maybe about $1000?

About 10,000 would be more like it

[KettBrah]

About 10,000 would be more like it

Hm, what about for british artists who can do similar like shown above?

Id spend up to £4K Maximum

A lot of UK artists charge 600 pounds per day, so I guess 4k or less is possible.

Highly possible brah.

Are you checking out the London tattoo convention?

A lot of pro's pro there...not just people with internet hype.

She's done boys, quite happy to say the least at how it turned out...

One more sitting in October to bold the outline and do a little bit of touching up (don't think much needed).

Thanks my dude!! Glad you like it, I absolutely love it myself.

She was so friggen awesome and painless to deal with, 10/10 in every regard... a true professional.

Looking forward to the re-line work and bolding/touch up to see how she looks when totally done.

Also gonna close up the wrist as I like the "solid" look better than how it sits right now.
