have been away for a bit, just realized i didn't post up the finished work from Scott Sylvia...the guy who bailed on this drawing totally lost out! :)

There are not a lot of tattooists who can pull off tiny tattoos with that kind of intricate detail, so you're either going to be lucky and located in just the right area or be willing to travel. Tiny, fine-line tattoos haven't been around long enough for any 10-20 year "before and after" comparisons, but it doesn't seem realistic that their clarity would last for a long time. On the other hand, they'll be easy to cover with something bold.

That's what a tattoo with no outline looks like.

When you're getting tattooed and while getting tattooed, you're thinking of stuff to fill in new gaps formed by the tattoo you're currently getting.

Too many Tattoo TV shows have people thinking that getting a tattoo is like having someone draw on you. I agree with @SStu 100% Bigger and bolder is better.

Oh, my. I would be asking questions, too. While it is too soon to tell the final outcome, I don't think it will ever look like the photo from day one (just my opinion and I could be wrong).

My ocelot was finished this afternoon. I absolutely love it! It's the last animal on my left arm sleeve. Al that remains now is some leaves and vines to connect the animals.

yep ! that's why watercolor tattoos don't last either.

A tattoo is never as dark as it is the day you walk out of the shop. It takes 4 -6 weeks to fully heal, so wait until then before you make a decision on what to do next.

When holiday planning involves researching artists in each potential destination.

I follow Karviniya's work as I like her style and talent, but something tells me this one is fodder for the laser: (from her Instagram) https://instagram.com/p/BjRxN-AAoe9/

I don't have a good pic at the moment but go look at Chad's story to see what he did on the inside of my bicep today. https://www.instagram.com/chadkoeplingertattoo/

When I joined Last Sparrow years back I was an Apprentice at a shop. I survived that lol but my Mentor did not he passed away, after that I opened my own shop. It is doing really well. Why I have not be login it is that I have been redirected to spam sights when trying to find Last Sparrow. I thought the sight was dead. The main reason I am back is because I have beed painting a lot lately and was wondering what you guys use on and what works for you - paper, paint, markers, ect. Tommy Phillips Noble Street Tattoo

Pretty good day for my wife and I at Smith Street. Angel Fish for her by Frank William and a koi for me by Eli Quinters.

My retirement project "the Hunley" runs! Not finished yet, but getting so close!

Getting started on a fun piece before my back project. Artist changed the classic photo to match the color of my dog. So this is tattoo number five and I am still learning. Yes your biceps are free. Back is not too bad. Thigh is a little more sensitive until you start rounding the corners. Got the line work this session. Going to be a fun summer

Yeah - so 2 hours was quite enough on this today thanks.... more on this in a month or so -
