Word up TDot. I back the dude's that did my stuff. It feels good to give money to good folks. But damn....I had no idea that there was a slew of peoplethat had Usugrow tats....but I guess that is a given.
I can't find the other one but there was actually that had a Flckr and dude had a whole Usugrow sleeve going! All mad ugly too.........
This guy has the best one so far that I seen. That is what I should have done and had all thin lines. Looks better......
And for the most part, it is done. No more shading cause it will just start too look like a glob of ink on my arm. I think in this case.....less would havebeen more. I am cool with it though.....jsut hard not to judge since it is on my body for the rest of my life.

Yo Fong, that tat is sick. Where did you get it? I'm in SF and I've been trying to find a good shop so I can get some work done.

Everlasting Tattoo on Divisadero and like Hayes or some street near there. Mine was done byLuke Francis but apparently the guy to see is Mike Davis but his waiting list is bananas. Rates are kind of odd and high. Every artist there charges $180 anhour (I think so don't quote me) but I kept pretty cool with all the guys there and my first outline session which was like an hour and a half long wasonly about $140. Over my tat was $390 for two sessions with $50 tip for about 3 hours and 20 min which doesn't amount to $180 an hour. So I think itdepends on the guy and how he feels. Luke would tat me up on Tuesdays and that was his Friday so I always gave him tip to get beer for that day......haha.
Also Skull and Swords is the other dope spot to check out. Grime and Henry Lewis are the manthere but again,expect to spend some money.

is that your first tat Fong?
it looks dope, but i was kind of feeling the same way after my tattoo. i was a bit regretful of getting it. luckily mine is on my tricep and not in full viewat all times. i feel like i kind of rushed into mine and didn't take time to find a good shop, good design, good placement, etc. but what's done isdone. i plan on making a half-sleeve around mine.

Yeah first tat. Mine wasn't rushed at all......but like dude said above, I think I just had it in my head that it would look different. Now that Iunderstand tattoos a little more, I'll know what to get right on the next one. Right on everyone......not like I got the tattoo for the publics appeal butat least I know it isn't horrible. Appreciate the words.

Fongstar, im feelin the work you got, but like dude above said its all about you liking it. But to be honest man I think it looks good, really stands out, thereal deep black look is the way to go. Are you going for a half sleeve or full?

^^^^My perceptions has changed a little. I wanted just a fore arm sleeve, then I wanted what I have with another big Usugrow tat on my shoulder but then Ifound out that some dude (saw it online somewhere) has the exact same image on the exact same spot that I wanted, so that is scrapped. Right now if my money isright, I am going to get a custom tattoo done by an artists and have it full color. What sucks is I wanted to have all my tats on my arm but seeing that i havethis dark image on my forearm, I am not sure if a colored half sleeve with go right. Its up in the air right now but I would like to have one sleeve and callit quits.
And dude...I am good with the tat. I think a lot of people go through some sort of resent at first (from what I hear) and then it just grows on them andbecomes just another thing on their body. But I am straight with it.....

Your tattoo doesn't mean king. I'm 1000% sure homie, sorry. I'm Chinese.
THIS is king
That word on your arm is lei2. Which means thunder. Here's proof:http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/wordsearch.php?searchMode=C&word=雷&search=Search In chinese, lei2 sounds a lot like reyes, except with an Lsound...so in a way it does mean Reyes, except its more a phonetical translation and it has nothing to do with the word king.

That is what happens when you don't do the correct research. I mean, you have to have a grip of Chinese friends who could have saved you. Instead, youtrusted Google. Like I said though...it rhymes with Reyes, but it doesn't truly sound like it. And it damn sure doesn't mean King.

I think I had it in my head that my tat would be something to put in mag but even though this is cool, it's not mag worthy. Next one I get will be full color and way bigger. Anyways....just wanted to share.
.......and just when I thought I was original. For some reason I hate that I have a tattoo that someone else has.
you should know there is nothing original under the sun, especially when it comes to tattoos. yours came out nice, although at first it is a little hard tofigure out.

How is yours original in the first place? You got it out of a book. And I know you didnt think you were the only one to ever see dudes artwork. You shouldntact so surprised.
