Maybe you guys should find something that has meaning to you...


Why? Because a lot of people are laughing and saying the guy will regret it, etc. That's not to say HE does, but I was merely pointing outthat, in reality, there's no reason for all that hate because as long as it means something to him, he's good. Not only that, but also because mosttattoo's can easily be redesigned, covered up with a new design, etc so even if someone does 'regret' or not like the execution of a tat,there's always ways around that...

I'm looking to get a st. michael piece soon. Does anybody know any good artists in Cincinnati, lexington, louisville, columbus, or any place in between.

I can see why people are aspiring to be tattoo artists. That is mad loot if you have a steady flow of customers coming. It makes my 9 to 5 look horrible.

That's very, very, very true. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people realize there's a difference between spending big $$ and getting a quality tattoo. There's a lot of great artist out there who could hang with, or might even be better than, Mr.Cartoon, Kat Von D, etc. and they aren't charging a fraction of those celebrity prices. Just gotta do your research...

so true

Most artists have specialties, so it really depends on what you want. I got mine done at Ink Fiend in Alhambra (artist was Khang), but that shop is mostly Asian-style tatts. I would go back most def, but the next tattoo I'm gonna get is gonna be more of the old-fashioned, naval style. I plan on going to Gold Rush Tattoo in Costa Mesa.

Fa sho, I'll check him out. I'll pm you if I have more questions.

Ok. So im not artistic in anyway. And ive looked around for awhile but nothing really has appealed to me.

BUT. My brother passed away in '05 and i want to get a tat in memory of him.

ANY suggestions would be appreciated.

Someone beat you to the punch:

Taken from the Sciolist blog. Funny thing too (no joke), I just set up my appointment today for my first tat and it will also be a Usugrow pic. I have beensleeping on this thing for almost a year now and I was thinking his art would get super big for tattoos. Luckily I don't think....I know no one will havethis image and they way I fused the artwork together, it will be original to a certain degree. I'll show you guys when I get it done in about a week and ahalf.

that is one of the nicest tatts ive seen in my life.

 

[jae718]

there is alot of great work in here
ive really become a fan of the culture and art that makes tattoos such a deep part of ppls lives

My First -
Location - Right upper arm shortly above elbow
Growin up in brooklyn we have such a strong pride in where were from its hard to explain
originaly i wanted the roman font but i realized how many ppl have that so i went after the famous brooklyn script next
the normal kind you see from the old dodgers jerseys but i decided to throw a lil flair on it and found somethin that fit me well

My most recent -
Location - left forearm
my mom passed away a day before my birthday when i was turning 9 she passed march 22nd 1996
so from that point on i put years and years of thought into what will probly be the most meaningfull tat i will eva have done
for this tat i chose a natural cross made of wood with not straight lines to make it look realistic with the ribbon i dont no the name of the font of my headbut i can find out i chose "mother" instead of "mom" of her name cause i wanted to also show a sign of maturity and a more classic look
im very please i think all the details in the cross are amazing and im in love with the lettering

as soon as it was done, only paint full part was the lettering on top cause of the placement it was hitting nerves i was so tender

after a few days

all healed up

more detail

Sorry for all the pics and the story =}

both were done by

Joe from brooklyn ink tattoo and body piercing
in bay ridge brooklyn 87th st. between 4 and 5th ave

edit* i just realized in the last to pick the cross looks deformed but thats cause i flipped the picks around originaly they were side ways

 

[bxbadboy90]

Ive been planning on getting tatted for the longest but I dont really know where to start... I've came up with a few ideas over the past couple of monthsbut need to find a good artist to help create a visual. Can anyone recommend any good artist in the BX/Manhattan area. Price isnt really a concern since I wantto get quality work

 

[depast]

Peter80Warrick, nice tats man. I've always wanted to get a South Carolina tat on my leg to rep. But all SC logos are too feminine (palmetto tree, Gamecocketc)

 

[agthekid]

Jae718 nice tat man, but why didn't you just put your mothers name?
