taaarro Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've been wanting a wizard tattoo... Valerie Vargas' tattoo of the Rollo wizard, which she posted on her blog a while ago, is unsurprisingly amazing.

Patriot Ink Tattoo Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I agree with the 60's, 70's, and 80's stuff, but let us all pray that it doesn't go as far as the "Taz" and other cartoon monstrousities of days past. slayer9019 and Headphoned 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1678-2012-most-popular-tattoo-design-projections/?page=2#findComment-25720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headphoned Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I too would like to see some less than perfect pin ups....Might even have to get one! Prediction wise, I expect owl tattoos to peak and arm bands to make an unwelcome comeback.

InkPlease Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'm no tattoo artist, but I think that the top three for 2012 is going to be: 1. Script Calligraphy Style 2. Tigers 3.

Scott R Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Anatomical hearts seems like a good bet. dragons outside of japanese work (heck even in japanese work I have seen less compared to oni,fudogs,geishas and flowers)have been dormant for awhile. So I will piggyback off Jennifer aswell Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1678-2012-most-popular-tattoo-design-projections/?page=2#findComment-26733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 hmm I have strange feeling that claiming to want a tattoo by Oliver Peck is going to be the new claiming to want tattoos by Kat Von D, or any of the other reality show tattooers. Just a note about the Wizard tatt trend. I briefly talked to Tim Lehi about doing one a couple years ago, def still want that to happen. His wizards are the fuckin jam. All evil and magical and metal-ey.

ShawnPorter Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 has anyone said larger scale Russian Prison work? I've been seeing a lot of it on my tumblr feed.

And I hope that the Tattoo Age doc.s don't go viral and shit, don't get me wrong, but some people don't deserve to get tattooed by some of these great artists, not saying that I even do, but fuck man, I'm scared of how stuffs going. Remember when you had to do your homework to find out whose these people were, then in turn (somehow) earn the right to get tattooed by them.

ShawnPorter Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 So here's my amended list: 1. Palms 2. Lil Wayne Style face junk 3. Larger scale Russian Prison work on non Scary Russian Mobsters 4.

Ursula Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 4. Female tattooists taking on dumb "professional names" blurring the tattoo artist/suicide girl line. WORST EVER. I don't fucking get it. Are dudes that desperate to touch an attractive lady that they're willing to get shit tattoos? I know more about tattooing and the history than more than half these bitches and I'm not even a fucking tattooer. These chicks are the ones who ruin it for people like me. Do you know how hard to is to get people at conventions to take me seriously? It's because of these dumb asses. Making people think that all chicks who are attractive and have tattoos are just either trying to be a tattooer, or trying to fuck a bunch of 'name' tattooers. Luckily I'm about a zillion times smarter than most of those chicks so as soon as I start to talk or show people my artwork they start to take me seriously. For real though, it's cause of all those dummies that the stigma of "girls suck at tattooing" and "tattooed girls are whores" exist. Try not showing up a convention with 8 inch heels on and a skirt that can barely be considered a belt. Sorry for the rant. I just can't stand women who devalue themselves like that. Just to look 'cool'. We'll see who still looks cool and who's still in the tatt game when we're all over 65.

Ursula Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 And I'm not referring to women like Deb, or Valerie who actually do nice tattoos and are tattooers because they want to be a tattooer. You all know the types I mean.
