ITT:INK II!! Where cry babies and pussies aren't allowed

[byrnebv]

planning to get a calf tat. been asking fellow brahs if I should place it on the shin, or the calf, what yall think? thanks sd brahs, doing my research on guru tattoo, gonna schedule an appointment with champ.

Most artists like the side of the calf because its a flat surface while the shin and calf are rounded. If your piece has a face in it, Champ might want to do it on the side.

Just something to consider.

the quote under it.

"Why do you like jellyfish so much?’ I asked.

‘I don’t know. I guess I think they’re cute,’ she said. ‘But one thing did occur to me when I was really focused on them. What we see before us is just one tiny part of the world. We get into the habit of thinking, This is the world, but that’s not true at all. The real world is in a much darker and deeper place than this, and most of it is occupied by jellyfish and things. We just happen to forget all that. Don’t you agree?

‘Two-thirds of the earth’s surface is ocean, and all we can see of it with the naked eye is the surface: the skin. We hardly know anything about what’s underneath the skin.’


Sometimes theres some kind of feelings that can't be explained, by words or pictures, somthing so great, and powerful."






also i cant wait to start my full back piece.

that chest LOOKS GROCE srs

finished my perseus rib piece with noah yesterday. I should have photos soon. we did another 7 hrs, for 28 hrs total.

we almost skipped the ribs and went for this:



noah pushed really hard for me to start this on my stomach. I had to pass as the wife isn't real happy with all the recent additions to begin with. if I added another, she would have flipped the fuk out.
he sold it well, and it made a lot of sense to go with it:
I have four strong, warrior type male pieces on my ribs and chest. to balance it, I need something to soften the story I'm trying to tell. plus, behind every successful man is a strong woman, and we fight for our women everyday.
it fit perfectly on my stomch as well. the st longinus and perseus pieces fit right into the curves of the necks of the women.

I will probably add it later this year.

Yeah dude has mad talent. Just not my style though.

[dawnoffatex]

My first session is 6 hours next sunday.. any suggestions for what to bring /// how to prep?

[byrnebv]

lawdy


the client wanted B/G, the artist said he does his best work in color.

[TrojanAsh]

byrnebv, what's Noah Minuskin's hourly charge?

Btw, you have the single best tattooed body in these nearly 200 pages, no nuthug, no homo.

I have a single quote on my right pec but I'm trying to get some more work done. I'm a college student, so money's tight but I heard Robert Pho only charges $200 which I think is reasonable for his talent.

thx, brother.

noah doesn't usually charge by the hr. he charges by the session...at least he does for me. my rate is $600 for a full day. the man likes to tattoo, so he will give me as many hrs as I want to sit. imo, for his quality, $600 for a full day is a steal. I tip him out like no other.

if you can get in with robert at $200, jump on it. you'll get a quality piece from him.

[TrojanAsh]

Thanks for all the info brah, going to take it slow and steady and get my ink done when I have a grand saved up.

[Gbinkster]

^^^good thinking. The big dawg artists dont do small work (1 or 2 hours). You have to get at least 4 hrs, ( $600 and up) due to their long wait list. I like robert because i like realism, if thats your liking hes only at a 5 month wait list. Otherwise there tons of artists in Cali that are over the top skilled!!!! The reachable ones i can think of are Jun, Mik Devries(color realsim), abey alvarez, noah, franco vescovi, chente rios.............on and on..

[Gbinkster]

and heres my 2 cents on artists you shouldnt get your hopes up on getting booked by: Nikko Hurtado, Bob Tyrell, Carlos Torres, Chuey Quintanar...unless you know someone who knows someone, who knows someone

There's a melody to everything, I'm trying to a harmony, but nothing seems to work, nothing fits.

Go with Robert man. Hes a VERY underrated artist, he should be charging a lot more than $200. Robert is doing my entire sleeve, GBinkster will be seeing him this Saturday. I cant recommend him enough.

few days. dont want to have your fresh piece all covered in sweat and random germs and leave ointment residue all over every piece of equipment you use.

everyone is different though, sure some one out there goes to the gym an hour after a tattoo and sure someone waits a week etc...

I'm more concerned about the pump. Won't that ruin a tattoo when its fresh? Mine is on my bicep as well.
