Hard to make much from them I know. But I have managed to put together an idea for Rising Phoenix to work from. *******ising a couple of the image to make a messy, rough idea of what I want. Of course I am adding my own touches to it too

Tattoo is looking very good Snazy if the other piece is done to the same standard it will look immense.Bodski's looks very good too.

I'm going in next Friday to get my half sleeve started.Going for a Jap Horiyoshi 3/shige style piece of a tiger,with the peonie flowers,the clouds and a wee bit of water down the bottom of it with a mind to expand it into a full sleve later on in life.

I actually can't fooking wait!

Cheers mate Same person designing and inking it, so I have faith in her skills
Got any pics of your design? Sounds superb!
My new one is a warrior in fighting stance, wrapped in a dragon (tail on me ****, head just above my knee) With a whole load more in the surrounding theme. Colour again, but with a fire theme, so I have opposing legs lol.

I totally forgot about this.

This is after the first 2 and a half hours.(unfortunatly doesnt show the whole thing because I took it myself with my phone.Apologies for the blurryness)



Still needs more shading done and then coloured.Then its onto the underside of the arm.

I have another 3 tattoos if anyone can be arsed looking through the album.The one on my back will be getting covered once the backpiece starts and redone with a slightly different take on it at a later date.

just don't get it. But then again I refuse to have stickers on my car of any shape/form as they spoil the look and lines.

ditto with the human body......... and oh boy there's some comedy tattoos on this thread.

each to their own eh- just can't imagine being satisfied with the artwork 10 yrs on etc------- i.e you get bored with the same clothes, hairstyle, car etc.

I sort of know what you mean, but not being satisfied with something for very long kinda makes the point of making it look how YOU want it to look. The human body can also be rather boring to look at at times.
The time period also explains why people continue to get tattoo's over a long period of time.
If you have an old car you really like you dont get rid of it, you just get another, just like tat's lol.

Carefully thought through and placed ones are fine for many years

I agree- there are some that are really nice and enhance the body somewhat. not sure I get the idea of just colouring every inch in though.

I would agree there. I have only seen a couple of examples of almost total coverage that were in anyway attractive.

I still don't know what to do about mine, it still looks crap and now I'm just thinking about removal or leaving it, maybe if I leave it long enough it'll just fade away?

I tried hacking it off with an axe but all that happened was that my arm fell off with the bloody tattoo still on it

It stitched back OK though

lol fair play mate, I can see where your coming from with that.
Thankfully the Mondeo is way too powerful for me as it is, so I dont need more power in my car (JOKE!)

I am already mulling over my next piece too, a shoulder, and top of arm piece, but one step at a time eh lol.

You will be pleased to know you have inspired me a little too

Chris and Kat both have places in LA as far as I know, Ami and Nunez I dont know about lol, but apparently more into the club scene

The shop was apparently just taken over by the film crew when shooting an episode. Kat and Garver are booked up MONTHS in advance, and charge a small fortune to have work done there.

As far as pricing is concerned, there is a $500 minimum per client. Portrait pieces begin at $1000 per piece, and final pricing is based on size, detail and placement.
