Hey guys. Ive read quite a few forums here. Figured its time i join. Have a couple tattoos ready for more.

I have an anchor tattoo on my ribs. It was my first. And i want to add more to it. Keep it traditional. But i wanna add color. I like the modern spin on traditional. I need ideas how to incorperate them. Im not an artist by any means! Please shoot your ideas. Thanks.

Ya forsure! I think im gonna check out Alameda Tattoo. One of my friends has gotten alot of great tattoos from there. i just wanted a few ideas before i go in and talk to them.

Would you consider my anchor traditional? I feel like traditional looks a little more cartoonish. What would you call the style my anchor is?

Traditional enough for tattooing. If you want top notch work in a traditional style look no further than Blackheart tattoo! You cannot go wrong there!

I'm a relative newbie to tattooing so I can't offer much advice, but welcome to the forum!!

I might get it done by either Billy Darr @ Alameda Tattoo or Rich @ Delta Art & Tattoo. Both are really good artist at good reputable shops. think i am going to go with a NeoTraditional style. throw a shark in there with maybe a ship wheel or ship or squid. somthing like that. once again, i am a metal fabricator, not an artist... so i usually leave the design part up to them.
