Thanks Scott... I have actually done a lot of research and slowly abandoned the idea of a watercolor and going more towards balck and grey style.... I want a medium to big size phoenix on my back and I can really picture in my mind a beautiful black and grey phoenix.. what do you think? the question now is... what are the best black and grey artists in NYC??

Im reading about Amanda Wachob too...? Do you know her works???

No Problem. Yes I am 100% Italian and went to Italian schools and universities. If I translate that literally that would be: La risata e' bellezza..... that sounds really awkward in Italian..... We would say it this way: Ridere e' bello (which means laughing is beautiful) or if you really want to convey that concept you need to turn it around in Italian and say: La bellezza e' ridere (Beauty is laughing). It makes perfect sense in Italian and yes you need to add the articles, you cannot just give them up like in English.... Hope this helped...:)

Thank you for the welcome... what do you in that part I highlighted..... would you say a tattoo from Ondrash or whoever does watercolors like him would fade away in 3 or 4 years??? Thank you for the thread you linked me to....I will read the whole thing... :)

Hello guys, my name is Gianni, I am Italian but I live in New York City now. I am totally new to the tattoo world and at the age of 31 I have decided to get my first one. I have never been against tattoos, I just needed a lifelong reason for a lifelong mark on my body. After tough times I finally have it and I want to mark it forever. I actually do not hear good news about tattooers in NYC. Honestly I have no idea how to even judge that based on my nonexistent experience. I will use the forum to document myself as much as I can. An Italian friend has advised me Ondrash in Czech Republic as one of the best watercolors tattooers but I don't know if this is the right section to ask if anyone has gotten a tattoo from him. In the meantime...nice to meet you all :):):):):)
