Saw this design years ago, and it was a must have at first sight. The problem was that the artist is about 8000 miles from where I’m at. I’ve traveled for tattoos, but not that far! I caught a break though, as the artist was guesting in the USA, and I was fortunate to get a spot. The tattoo came to me. I didn’t even get on a plane. How lucky is that? I’ve been saving this forearm panel for years for this piece, without even knowing how I was going to end up getting it ever. But it worked out in the end. (The link below the photo is a video. The tattoo is a really wide design, so it wraps in my desired body placement and the video shows the wrapped sections) Artist is: Manh Huynh from Vietnam. Video link:

Oboogie first HOW is it I'm making my self "foolihs"? I asked a question with details which from your reponse DID NOT read! And, You aren't offering help! you are saying that it is the fault of the guy who has ONE tattoo for trusting the guy who tattoos every single day for more than a decade AFTER as you say - should have and DID research and there was a clear discussion on what the tattoo was supposed to be. I' didnt think it was such a complicated question to answer, but apperantly it is! Hogrider only one being a A hole here is the guy who OBVIOUSLY did not read the post where it CLEARLY states that research was done, discussions both in writing and phone were done about what the tattoo was supposed to be!! do you want me to cut and past the original again!!?? and blaming the newbie instead of giving an honest and direct answer to a question! Oh and while you are at it please try and explain how it is that I am trying to stay ignorant when I asked a simple and direct question? Lets pretend it's you - your user name is Hogrider - assume that refers to harleys, You love them! And you go to a tattoo shop and after looking at the tattoo artists work of other harley tattoos, texting him back and forth and talking to him on the phone You agree that you want a 1939 knucklehead. tell the guy since he is the tattoo artist he has freedom to pick pose and color so that it looks the best. He shows you a stencil - which even (what ever you think of the show and the artist ect YOU HAVE TO ADMIT are) people who tattoo for a living EVERY DAY and see often multiple times a day have a hard time with interpreting sometime after sitting for 12 hours you turn around and find that you GOT A REALLY REALLY COOL 2008 Suziki hayabusa. What responsibility does the tattoo artist have? would you tell you to just "remain ignorant"

Looks really good. Also it’s just a tattoo. Don’t expect too much from it. I’d be happy if I had that piece.

As others have said there is no way in a million years you would see that without it being pointed out. We always over scrutinise our own tattoos as we see them all the time. All tattoos have imperfections if you look close enough, yours looks like a good tattoo. 👍

After reading through these threads, and looking at tons of pics I feel better about my piece. Looking at the big picture and not scrutinizing it is the way to go. Thanks for input. This is a great site for knowledgeable advice, I've already started planning my next one.
