Quick question for a friend. Can anyone recommend a GOOD artist in Droitwich or that sort of area?

 

looking good!

I'm still playing about with ideas for my next one.

 

Cheers, its looking a lot more settled now, a week and a bit later. Not quite as dark, but still a great contrast

 

Yeah they do tend to dull a bit after they have healed.

I still need to find some inspiration for mine. I wanted to get a St Christopher, as my family are from all over the place, I'm always travelling. But I think it's a bit masculine, so i'm not sure.

 

Im sure you can find the right effect if you search about.
Yeah the shading needed to dull a bit, looks a bit over powering otherwise. Matches now

 

Absolutely awesome work.

I've got 6 and I'm trying to find some good reference points for a pair of pistols but cant find anything I like! Grrr!

 

Nice. On your hips?

Have you tried bmezine.com ?

 

Cheers
What sort of look pistols are you looking for?
There are so many styles out there its unreal, but size is going to play a big part. Im sure an artist could mesh a few pieces together for you

Just talking to a friend about pieces for her and her husband. Why do I think of all the good ideas for other people lol

 

A few ideas, obviously depends on wether you want colour or black and grey.

Get a few images or just see the artist and ask him to do you a design, in my experience I told my tattooist the basic theme of what I wanted and let him draw up his own idea.

Looking good there Snazy, when is the next session? I'm looking for idea's myself at the moment now it's the covering up part of the year

 

I reckon St Christopher in a nice soft black and grey would look fine, colour and bold might go a bit the wrong way.

Cheers Aaron, next session is Nov 20th, should be second to last session, cant wait, im getting impatient now lol.
I have the next few pieces in mind, just a matter of finding the time, and getting my thigh finished first. Prob got about 20 hours left on that yet lol

 

Thanks for that. I would usually go black and grey, but I think a piece like this would be much better in colour.
I found one a few years back, but rather than being the traditional St Chtistopher, it was quite different. It was a tapistry and I fell in love with it. I'm going to google it, to see if I can find it.

Spike is the man I will get to do it, he's superb.

 

Found it!

I thought it would translate quite well into a tattoo, and I really like how it is different to the more 'real' looking images.

 

 

lol @ Aaron, I found the same picture
Loads of pistol reference pics out there though

 

My worry about that is, it would translate to quite a blocky looking piece unless you had gradual shading and colouring on it.

Would make a nice smaller piece though. Could work in the right artists hands

 

Have a look here

Oh I totally agree, it would need a complete re sketch rather than scan and size. I'd have it on my side between hip/underarm.

 

I'm not at the point of taking it to my lady artist yet.. I need to decide what type of pistol/handgun I want as I like guns, or if I want shotguns, or if I want a new skool style or as realistic as possible. They're going to span pretty much shoulder to shoulder so a fair old size. Gotta make sure I get it right

I change my mind on this daily, which is why its taking me so long

In theory, I want something like this, but with the barrels pointing up and the angle shallower ...





I work away from home but fingers crossed I'll be able to get my Vargas / sailor jerry-esque pin up girl done on my back, my very own lady luck at Christmas!



Very nice. The picture should have been longer though

 

Not if there is a **** at the end of it

 

Either way is fine by me

 

...... that would make you a.......L, L, L,







Labour supporter then

 

L L L?

Other than Labour, what on earth could the 3rd L stand for

 

lol nutters!

Well get deciding then. Just dont expect to find the perfect design online. And if you do, dont use it! lol
Get some gun pics, get them drawn up and go from there.

What tats you got already ?

 

I'm not daft enough to use a design off the internet, but i do do ALOT of research and idea gathering before I make the trip to the studio, makes everyones bit easier

I've got a pair of dice on my leg, some writing on the bottom of my spine, a swallow on each shoulder blade (one red one blue), Lady Luck in a retro font with some stars at the bottom of my neck and my husbands initial on my wrist.

If it wasn't for work, I'd have had my back piece finished by now!

I have 21 piercings too

 

Woah, get you lol.

Good stuff, would hate you to end up with something generic

 

As soon as I get the chance I'm getting the dice lasered off... i'm quite scared!

 

I've got a Dove on one shoulder and a Rose on the other.
Been fancying a butterfly at the bottom of my back, but it's a bit boney there and would sting a bit
One day!!!

 

lol @ would sting a bit, dont be so lame, and just get it done

LL, is it not something you can get a cover up done on? Sod laser work lol, mine are for life, or just wear plasters lol

 

I've been on about getting that done for months. haven't I

 

lol just a while
