metalmancpa Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hi all. New to this forum. Just got my 2nd piece done - will post it up in the General Tattoo section. Went from none to two in a year and a half. Time to stop now :-) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2902-new-to-this-forum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogg Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Welcome! Two in a year and a half is slow by LST standards. Congrats on having such willpower. reverend1, CultExciter and Graeme 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2902-new-to-this-forum/#findComment-49088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmancpa Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Welcome! Two in a year and a half is slow by LST standards. Congrats on having such willpower. I've wanted a tattoo for a good 20 years now, so I used turning 50 years old as an excuse (I can say mid-life crisis) and got my 1st done. #2 was much more thought out and planned, but now I have the two I always wanted, one on each upper arm, and I'm almost satisfied. Going to hopefully add to the 1st one. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2902-new-to-this-forum/#findComment-49093 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILikePie Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Welcome.. Great Gunnar piece. I find that there isn't a whole lot of love here for anything that isn't traditional :/ metalmancpa 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2902-new-to-this-forum/#findComment-49531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmancpa Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Welcome.. Great Gunnar piece. I find that there isn't a whole lot of love here for anything that isn't traditional :/ I realize that, but that's OK. To me a tattoo is about the artistic quality regardless of the genre of it. Personally I am not a fan of traditional, but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate them. Plus, it was funny when Gunnar and I were talking about tattoo genres. When we were discussing new school, traditional, etc, he said it was funny he was pegged as new school. He said that he'd been tattooing too long to be "new school" and smiled. All I know as I was stoked with the outcome of the Gunnar piece after the time I took to research out the artist (find him) and get what I wanted - an original piece.

reverend1 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Nice stuff @metalmancpa. I'm not a new school fan but I really like your Gunnar piece. metalmancpa 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2902-new-to-this-forum/#findComment-49535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmancpa Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Nice stuff @metalmancpa. I'm not a new school fan but I really like your Gunnar piece. Thank you. Actually it feels good to get a compliment on my tattoo from someone who, although may not like the style, appreciates good art. That's how I view tattoos - even though I may not want a style on my body doesn't mean I love seeing it on somebody else. I have really come to appreciate the varying styles in the tattoo world, and I view them as art. reverend1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2902-new-to-this-forum/#findComment-49537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thank you. Actually it feels good to get a compliment on my tattoo from someone who, although may not like the style, appreciates good art.

I have really come to appreciate the varying styles in the tattoo world, and I view them as art. And that's the bottom line. There is limited new school or american traditional that I would actually get tattooed on me - but I still love looking at it, and am glad that other people get it done and show it off.

Congrats on researching and getting a good tattoo the second time around Thanks, and you are correct about the eagle (I posted another thread with ideas of adding to it) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2902-new-to-this-forum/#findComment-49560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
