Anyone any good at drawing tattoos here?

[EnJoY]

I'm looking for some one who may be able to draw a custom tribal-style/dragon-style tattoo for me. Anyone here any good at that stuff?

[zsamz_]

most tattoo artists are verry good at drawin
to be honest if they cant draw it they shouldnt be doin a tattoo
get it done right u be havin it on for a long time
if you ever plan a trip to asia you can get it done verry cheap;)

I've been scanning through everything on BMEZine. My buddy Theo has like 6 tattoo's, so he's been giving me advice.

try here... http://www.deviantart.com/#catpath=traditional&order=5&q=tattoo maybe u find something interesting

[WrigleyVillain]

Ah the immortal Mr. Cool Ice...he pwns.

A Tribal Dragon? Don't be a douche. Get a RAM stick or a G.Skill logo or something!

[illidan]

i have a tribal dragon :)

[EnJoY]

It may not be a dragon. I was actually thinking this...

Shoulder cap that looks like my skin is peeling off and underneath is snake/dragon scales...coming off of the shoulder cap down my arm and further up my shoulder would be tribal art possibly turning into dragon heads. Cool?

[illidan]

very cool :) and very painful :D

[EnJoY]

very cool :) and very painful :D

Pain is tolerable as long as the end result is worth it. :D

[illidan]

have u done any tattoo :)

[EnJoY]

have u done any tattoo :)

No.

[illidan]

well... the pain.. is... u will see :)

i did 10 chinese signs down the spine, and that is painful :D

[EnJoY]

You have any pics of your work?

[illidan]

well half of signs are in my signature, only in horizontal :)

dont have realy... and tribal dragon is unicate (have it only on paper, didn't want to post it over the net)

[cadaveca]

Pain is not a concern now, most high-level shops will have topical anesthetic if you need it, for an xtra charge.

[zsamz_]

another word of advice Enjoy dont go below your elbow you will be wearin it a long time
unless u want it to be seen n wanna look tough:p:

Yea, I'm only going to my bicep, I still want to be able to wear polos at the office. ;) And I'm stopping at the neck.

no pain no gain :D

and anesthetic is for pussys :p

[EnJoY]

Yea, I'll just have my buddy punch me in the face a couple times, so I have other pain to distract me. :p:

I'm making an appointment for a consultation on friday (hopefully), and if all goes well, I'll be going in the following tuesday.

Some people just can't handle it...some can't even handle the slightest bit of blood. Makes it an option for those people...personally, I did my own myself, no anesthetic. I don't even think it was an option back then.

Anyway, this is something you might want to look for when picking the shop to do your work. Once you finalize your design, try to find someone who has done similar work before.

The hardest colour to remove is red, but if you go with vegetable-based inks, this is not an issue, but they are prone to fading, and will require constant work to keep them in shape...and also can be useful to "test one out" for a coupel of years, and if you like, then get it done with better ink for permanence.

I just scheduled an appointment with a really good artist at a shop in Harvard Square here in Boston. He's done a lot of work for my buddy and is highly recommended. I'll be going in tomorrow for consultation.

[Wolf_Rider]

A good artist with new needles, really doesn't hurt all that much.... not to be mistaken... it does hurt but beware of the butchers out there that jab the gun down and drag away on your skin... this is pain.

A good tattoist should use the gun like a brush

[EnJoY]

A little update. I got about 75% of the tattoo done yesterday afternoon. I have another appointment in two weeks (9/2) to finish it up. I'll post pics of the finished product.

Post a larger pic, I can't tell.

As for pics...I just went in for my second appointment last night. Here are some pics taken immediately afterward. You can also see them on my facebook.

Tatoo is about 90% complete...the dragon scales still need to be finished and some touch up work needs to be done on the red. I'm $800 into it so far. :D

[illidan]

great !

[Scubar]

Get the Xbox360 logo tattoed on each of your balls.

[EnJoY]

Thanks. :D

I love sleeves dude...my buddy theo has a full polynesian tribal on his left arm. We both aren't big fans of tribals anymore, but his is very unique and looks sick. He also has a full chest piece that's composed of the Boston skyline with van gogh's starry night behind it. :D
