ShawnPorter Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think it's my same list as last year: 1. Palms 2. faces junk. Ursula, Stewart Robson, Gregor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Frog Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 More garbage brought in from an iphone. Nothing will change. At least if you work in a street shop. LeoKraft, missStark, chris buchanan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Benway Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think there will be more demand for neck script and general cholo culture tattoos. LeoKraft and G.Uristti 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight-Lines Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Anchors Lady Heads As always: Jersey shore style tattoos. scott, Duffa and Barrett Dobra 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Robson Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I expect to see, but know I won't enjoy seeing: bad tattoo versions of sixties/seventies style artwork. Greg Irons, Dave Mann, Rick Griffin, Ed Roth etc. I hope I'm wrong... Oh yeah, we'll see more Mayan stuff. scott and horishitforbrains1985 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Taylor Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I was talking to a friend of mine about this over Christmas so I was glad to see it as a new thread here. My prediction is much like Stewart's. I think that there will be a lot of 60's, 70's, and early eighties stuff. Greg Irons, Jack Rudy, and Mike Malone. Especially Malone. He has so much great flash out there, and it is well drawn. I think that people are getting tired of the over simplification of tattoos. The American Traditional resurgence has gotten so simplified that it is losing its visual power. Malone will be the new Higgs. kylegrey, hogg, Duffa and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Considering that it's now the year of the dragon... well... Dragons :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brimstonesix Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 script on achilles heel and the side of the foot seems to be popular. crosses....all the time. and upside down wrist script seems to not be slowing down. less stars though definitely. lots of chicks have been wanting tattoos on the sides of their finger,not sure what thats about.

gougetheeyes Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Palms. And those dang burning churches that are all getting progressively worse since they're copies of copies. Oh yeah, we'll see more Mayan stuff. Ha, good call. Mayan-themed is the new cosmic skull.. especially over at that little cosmic factory known as Three Kings.

Mr. Frog Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Fine line Traditional, and American Biker Jap. Because all the cool tat bros that were Old Timey, or Doom metal are now Custom Biker dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
