I don't really understand the question but I do find fault with the negative view of artists--I've always respected artists. Many of my friends are artists. My sister is an oil painter, and I would hardly call her flaky. She works hard and is a perfectionist. Does she work on her own time table? Yes, she is fortunate enough to be able to do that. Her paintings are beautiful. She is not raking in the dough but finally in her late forties is beginning to carve out a living for herself selling her artwork. I am a teacher. I have never considered myself a tradesman. I do agree with you, I have to work day in and day out--always performing, and I don't get to set my own hours. There is also a degree of creativity and performance to what I do. Basically, I respect anyone who works hard, whether they are an artist or not. As for who I get tattooed by--I will choose good artists who are also good tattooers...

Is this the one? @DJDeepFried posted that on my mom's FB page, just so she'd know some doctors may be covered in tattoos and she'd never know it, and it doesn't mean they can't save your life. She wrote back something about that would be fine, and then asked if I had put him up to it and talked about what a bad influence I am on him, haha.

Cool, Lochlan, I just saw one and "liked" your comment... (Janet Glazer)

Thought this would be good in this thread (the link shows a woman with large tattoos showing when she wears shorts and a tank top, and the same woman dressed conservatively for work with none of the tattoos showing & a short comment under it: "This one's for all the clients that want their tattoos tiny and hidden even though that’s not what’s best for their design idea. When you get the tattoos you want you will tailor your work attire appropriately.") Dermagraphique: A Tattoo Critique • This ones for all the clients that want their...

hello!

Sounds cool, any pics?

That is one fascinating dude. :D

Crazy. He was probably just trying to find out if you are gay so he could make a pass at you.

Wow!

Geez, I just did a quick search on Den Yakovlev with the term "racist?" and got several results that say yes he is a proud self proclaimed Nazi. Maybe you can't believe everything you read? But hell no, I personally would not want to give him business regardless of how good of an artist he is. There are plenty of not so hateful tattoo artists to choose from.

Welcome, and as Duffa said, just post the pic and/or an explanation of what is going on in this thread...

I love these by Chris Conn, too: Photo by sekretcity • Instagram

Hi, nice tattoo!

oops, looks like I posted nearly the same thing on this thread twice without realizing it...only they were a year apart so the number of tattoos has gone up! Maybe I should post it again next year and see how the numbers have changed... That's cool--what did you and your wife get for your matching tattoos?

Hm, I thought he meant our Stella was too young to get the reference... Back to Gigi--I have some realistic black & grey roses & a tiger on my arms... but I got them here in Los Angeles: memoir tattoo ©2010

She gets that all the time so we showed her the youtube of Marlon Brando doing that scene. It's such an emotional scene but she thinks it's hilarious.

Ireland is a place I've always wanted to see. Hm, well, we finally agreed on the name Stella for our daughter (now 4 1/2). Others on my list were: Sidra, Lydia, and Violet... For a boy I had wanted Anton and DJ wasn't going for it, good thing we had a girl. Welcome!

We don't watch it for the drama or imagine it to be "reality" but I think that since we are not in the industry and we don't get to be around tattoos all the time, we just enjoy watching tattoos being made. I love Gypsy Gentleman and Tattoo Age--wish those were the shows on TV. But we are just junkies for anything tattoo-related I guess. Except tattoo school...it's just 100% unwatchable. At least all the other shows had occasional good tattoos and sometimes accurate commentary, and yes, Oliver Peck is entertaining and cool. The worst thing about Ink Master type shows to me is the stupid "teasers" and how they re-play certain scenes again and again as if they are that interesting. I would prefer to see more close up shots of the tattoos.

Ha, must be time for you to get one. Don't forget to post pics!

I've posted this elsewhere but not on the rose thread...my black & grey roses by K. Saigh. Wish I had a better camera.

Looks pretty!

That comment was annoying! I suppose if someone goes out and gets the exact same tattoos as someone else and puts them in the same place single white female style...that person could be called a sheep or more appropriately, a psycho. Tattoos, regardless of how many people have them, are still an individualistic pursuit in my eyes. We each decide what we are getting and where we are getting it. It's creative and fun and none of us look the same. Now all that plain skin is another story. It's just so crass and boring to look at day in and day out hahaha. Just kidding, I don't care if people don't have tattoos. On a side note, while my mom hates tattoos--when I told my dad I wanted more and his response was, "Well, you have more space!" He doesn't have any, he's just more open minded like that.
