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

whats your guys take on nearly replicating a piece of work you've seen online? I emailed chris adamek and he has a piece that i loved, asked for something very similar. I don't expect the exact same thing but something close would be awesome. Not sure about tattoo etiquette and all that stuff, i know certain people get rustled about things.

some artists dont care but majority of bigger name artists wont like to replicate eachothers exactly will want to interpret and change etc... like Dmitry Samohin Carlos torres, and roman abrego all done that same indian chief but, dimitry did full colour painting style, carlos BnG realism, and roman his colour style. plus tattoo's are gonna be on you why would you want an exact piece someone else has why im designing all my own.

I think most will work with the image and change it up a bit to meet what you're looking for. Think of all of the day of the dead tats jose lopez has done. I'm sure there are several that are similar. They just change it up slightly.
Even jun uses similar images. My poseidon and laocoon are nearly identical to tats he's done in the past. The only thing that changed was body placement, size and angle.

so after researching all the tattoo parlors in Savannah Georgia. I think these 2 have the best quality, from what i can tell online. Can i get your guys opinion on these 2 shops? My piece is going to be black and grey, with the main design going to be my grandfathers pocket watch that my grandma gave me when my grandfather passed away in June.

thanks brahs

thats like asking why someone has a painting in their house.. if there dont have it representing it, they simply like the art. simple as that.

To have the tattoos’ that you wear be a credit to you, and to be a credit to the tattoo that you wear and show your life’s grand goals by wearing tattoo art with the story that you want to travel. large tattooing can be a very proud thing, sometimes we can look at a persons tattoos and know what kind of a great life that person wants to lead. Imagery can be about grand goals of the future rather than small trophies of the past.

Tigers are considered to be the supreme of all land animals by the Chinese, representing strength, courage and long life. Tigers are also said to be able to ward off bad luck, disease and Demons. In many old prints you will see a tiger fighting demons [Oni] at the side of “SHOKI” The demon queller. Tigers are one of the 4 sacred animals, symbols of the North and represent the season of Autumn and control of the winds.

More often than not, when cherry blossoms appear in tattoo artwork, they do not appear alone. Sometimes a shame because the delicate and subtle beauty of these small blossoms is easily overwhelmed by other imagery. Even so, the centuries old Japanese tattoo tradition from which they spring, has essentially formalized their use in that way. Their powerful symbolism has taken on a life of its own, For Japanese imagery, the beautiful period of its flowering and then the all too soon fading and subsequent scattering of petals on the wind, they symbolize life itself. The fragility of the cherry blossom is the fragility of human existence, its brief period of life, like our own; its movement toward death, indifferent to the good things of this world, is the ideal death for a warrior; and finally, its individual and perfect beauty is also ours. Poignant for some but hopeful for others, the symbolism of this staple in tattoo artwork seems almost more than one flower could bear. However it does shoulder the burden perfectly. Cherry Blossoms are held in high regard here in Japan, emblematic of life’s fleeting nature they represent mortality, love, magnificent beauty and sudden death. It is regarded by all as a good omen. Sakura viewing, or hanami, is a national event. people of all walks of life gather under the trees in bloom to picnic, drink sake, karaoke and welcome spring.

its between that one and 13 roses, both of them seem to be by far the best around. and nothing in Savannah Georgia where I live seems to be even close

[spectre86]

[foreveryoung21]

My left arm was a cover up and I am still not happy with it.. Apparently I don't live too far from one of the best laser shops. Being as optimistic as possible because I know this **** is going to be a long hard process.
