Planning New Ink

[wizer]

Right I mentioned this in another thread a while back. I am going to go for this:




Not sure where to have it. I am not as er, built as the guy in the pic and aint sure if it will look right on my shoulder. I thought it might look good on my side with the head ending up sort of around my Navel.

Also I'm probably going to get TF's guy to do it, unless anyone can suggest a Japanese specialist?

I want the detail to be spot on.

If its done well - thats gonna look ace mate, well worth spending the extra to go to someone decent. How do you mean on your side - still the same way up or more horizontal?

[casio]

even if your not as built as the fella in the piccy, id still have a try of it on the shoulder if only in the purple transfer before deciding, personally i think tigers look better on the torso with dragons and fish on the arms and chest

Mick's new shop opens in mid April m8, get him to do it. He will do it justice.

got any more details on when and where TF? Might see if he can book me in for an appointment.

I'm going on holiday end of June so want it to be totally healed.

Michael Rose Tattoos & Piercing, 34 The Broadway, Darkes Lane, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, EN6 2HW, England, 01707 663055.

I spoke with him today and he said no firm date, aiming for mid April. Building & decorating work has been delayed due to issues with damp in the new shop.

cheers TF. Will leave it a few weeks and give him a call.

Cant wait to get it done now. Will he be able to sketch it out from the above pics do u think?

[Tattooed Freak]

Aslong as you can give him a nice clear print out I don't see why not. I think he will change it slightly though so he isnt just reproducing someone elses work. Run it by him and see what he says.

A mate of mine is in the process of getting something similar done around his calf. I know nowt about tattoos but I thought you might like a look...

Spoiler:

[casio]

[wizer]

[WTD]

[wizer]

as soon as Mick has sorted his shop out, probably end of next month

[Tattooed Freak]

Mid April m8, the shop front is done. Not long to go...

I have been clean for 8 months, I used to get new pieces done very 3-4 weeks. Its been f@cking hard.

[wizer]

I did email Mick but maybe he's been too busy. If you speak to him tell him I want to be hist first customer

[Tattooed Freak]

Sorry m8, you'll have to wait until I'm done.

yeh not bad, who was the artist?
