Looking for some tattoo advice! I started a half sleeve a little over 2 weeks ago, and I am going to post a picture asking advice on advice on a tattoo I need re done, and a filler added :D hope to get a lot of good ideas and replys! nice to meet you all!

[gougetheeyes]

Welcome, Dayna! Any questions you've got, the intro thread is a good place to let 'em rip. What kind of advice you looking for?

Welcome, Dayna! Any questions you've got, the intro thread is a good place to let 'em rip. What kind of advice you looking for?

I just got a care bear half sleeve, and above it is album art from the riddle box cd. I need advice on the filler for around my older tattoo that is above my new tattoo :) Ill be posting it soon in the advice section :) having issues figuring out how to upload my profile photo!

ok well I figured that out! now If I can find the "post new thread" button on the advice forum ^_^

why can't I post in the advice forum?

[gougetheeyes]

You need ten posts to start a thread and it's for this very reason. "Initiation" threads don't get buried here like a lot of other forums so use this thread to post away with questions, pictures, etc.

We try to contain new users who just have one or two questions from upping their post count quickly simply in order to start a new thread, get their questions answered, and then leave. This way, we keep everything in the welcome thread nice and neat. Most of our LST users are long-time contributors to the site and are more than happy to try and answer questions and help out.

Welcome Dayna. Now lets see that half sleeve.

[Dayna Mccuean]

ok sure! ill post it here...first let me say this!

I know most of the world dislikes insane clown posse lol I promise you, I am not like the stereotype of the fans! so when I post my photo lets not make this a discussion about music ^_^ just simply need help on what would look good! the new tattoo is a cover up of the care bears the was already under the riddle box tattoo...and its so bright and colorful that it makes my 7 year old tattoo look ultra faded! so I will be getting it re colored, and it needs a filler so it stops looking so weird! and its kind of hard to relate care bears to an ICP tattoo.

- - - Updated - - -

I am not sure if I should continue the purple up, and put in question marks instead of stars..or use a i different color..OR just do a completely different filler..

the rest of my arm will be more colorful cartoons! like my little pony, strawberry short cake, and the little mermaid :)

- - - Updated - - -

also the care bear tattoo itself will be finished off wtih a bit more color, I have to get the bears colored..cant sit and do tattoos for long because I have a 3 month old and a 3 year old! so this will be my 2nd sitting.

[CultExciter]

I'd say a a Violent J or Shaggy 2 Dope Rock of Ages. That's exactly what you need.

All jokes aside, I'd continue working on your arm with solid fills with and bold outline. You're going for cartoonish elements, so make that even more powerful by getting big and bold stylized characters.

[Dayna Mccuean]

what colors and design would you suggest as a filler for the RB?

[CultExciter]

Honestly, I'd probably go with some old school clouds behind it in bright yellows or oranges, and fill that motherfucker up with stars and dots.

I worry I'm giving too good advice. I mean, you do have an ICP tattoo. :P

[Dayna Mccuean]

Fill the clouds up or my extra skin? And that ain't the only one lol.

something one of my friends made

[gougetheeyes]

So was there a plan for the other 3/4 of the half sleeve? Or you just kind of winging it?

[Dayna Mccuean]

When I was younger and dumb I had a shitty care bear tattoo under there lol so now I'm trying to get it fixed by a pro and make it look right. I got 2 days to come up with something.

- - - Updated - - -

It's not just on my shoulder, the care bear tattoo is part of the half sleeve, and ill be adding my little pony under the bears.

Here I thought ICP was a local thing. Since you seem to be a decent person I will spare you my ICP jokes. I live 50 miles from Detroit so I've had just about enough of those guys.

[CultExciter]

Unique Ink in Greensburg is a fine establishment. And I'm not just saying that because Dan Weyandt works there.

Also check out Jason Lambert at Black Cat Tattoo in Pittsburgh.

I know I'm missing someone important here...

OWNED :) and my juggalo husband is very successful. He is an IT, but does side jobs, he is like the jack of all trades I swear. He is building a beautiful theater room for our new 1080p HD 3D epson projector. We are not like any other juggalos you know...trust me they get on my nerves! I don't wear their shirts or show my tattoos because I do not want to be bothered by their "whoop whoops" in public haha.

Lol, no worries. But a light hearted jab was too hard to pass up, I'm sure you understand.

As far as suggestions go, I can't help you there. I have no artistic eye what so ever.

[Dayna Mccuean]

lol ya im use to jabs I guess...been getting them since I was 12!

[CultExciter]

Check out those artists I mentioned. A good artist can take your ideas and usually come up with something pretty rad.

Also, according to @Graeme, never, ever, EVER, google "juggalo flash." it means two different things to tattoo heads and well, the others.

[Dayna Mccuean]

I am 45 min outside of burgh, can not travel that far because I have 2 little ones!

[Our Endless Days]

If you want good tattoos, then you'll probably need to.

[Dayna Mccuean]

no

the RB was done in NC back in 2006

the bears were done here in beaver pa
