^^^^Sure you want to do such a tattoo? I swear finger tattoos always look horrible in the long run. Just no real detail and your fingers always wrinkle and are exposed to the sun. Just wanted to give you fair warning...but a tattoo like that won't cost you much but the price will seem unjustified considering. Like tattoo artists will usually price by the hour which can range from anywhere to a $100-$200 per hour. But I am sure your tattoo you want will not even take that long but watch you will pay for a half hour rate even if it takes 15-20 minutes to do. Of course this is all subject to the artists but you get what I am saying.

For something like this, I would say go anywhere. Get an artists that has steady hands and I am sure it will come out cool.

Right on Fong!

thanks for the input.

I'm actually going to get the tat where my ring will cover it up when i'm wearing it.

I know it's kind of pointless but i tend to forget my ring a lot and my wife can't wear hers as she's a nurse.

thanks again bro - too bad your cuz is down south....

Stop playing around, I need to see the finished product of that back piece

 

[picasso swerve]

Sorry for the small pic, took about an hour, homie charged me $150. He got a nice tip obviously. Surprisingly it wasnt bad at all, even the shin was fine, no pain at all really.

when are you adding color.

For 150 is not bad, I wouldn't be paying top dollars ...

Just need to see the finish work ... If you planning on keeping it black white then a lot more shading would be ideal IMHO.

Nice though ...

 

[picasso swerve]

Its a simple traditional tattoo, I woudnt need someone too dollar anyways. Clean lines, simple design, all I need. Hes done most of my other traditional work.

Color maybe September, gonna make it black and gray and maybe hints of red in the lightning and parts of the ship. Of course theres gonna be tons more shading.

only one hour for that much work? props to your artist for working that efficiently and still banging out a solid piece. give us a larger pic fam!


just got my calf done, just about that size, as well. probably smaller, more minute details, but still took 3 hours. EXCRUTIATING pain, yall. I've honestly never been intimidated by a tattoo, but damn, this **** got me reconsidering if I want to go back to finish off the calf/shin sleeve.

 

[picasso swerve]

Calf is suppose to be an easy spot. That piece I just did was literally a walk in the park and im ok at taking the pain usually only. Worse parts for me was back, elbows, inside elbows and top of my shoulders which was the worse.

What do you guys think about this artist? He is only a half hr away from me and I really like his work and his detailing. I want to get a leg sleeve done by him but still giving some thought into it.

 

[picasso swerve]

Hes pretty good actually, go for it.

 

[ozarkshark]

Anyone know a good tribal artist in NYC or long island

 

[picasso swerve]

Most artists dread tribal, unless you mean like Polynesian type tribal.

 

[purple sneaks]

Polynesian tribals are pretty cool. I just dislike the usual douchebag tribals where you've seen one and they're all alike. Just imo...

And like he said, it's not so much about the money. The wait is killer. Got me feeling like I'm on a Packers season ticket waiting list.
