Came across this picture on Fuck Yeah, Tattoos! Lots of crap on that site comes by, but every now and then there are some really good pieces

all that could be said about it is allready said by the people who commented above me, but for those interested in watching the first episode here it is: Ink Master | Tattoo Competition Reality Show | Full Episodes | Spike | Fresh Meat | Season 1 | Free Full Episodes | Spike

In a case like this, who cares about etiquette? It's something that will be on your body for the rest of your life. Just pick an artist who's work you want to complete your sleeve. If could be the artist that did the first half or a new artist. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

@Steward Robson Honstly i don't want to be a tattooer. I know people on this forum (and artists in general) are hesitant to share knowledge because they might fear competition or disrespect of their profession. My goal in life is to be a social worker, so don't fear any competition from me;) Thanks for the wise words non the less. Cheers. O and one day i will surely visit your shop. Currently saving up for a holliday to the UK and i will include a visit to your shop. The work you put out is just amazing. Respect!

Cheers! @Shmitty as retarded as it may sound, the thought of using a ruler to draw straight lines never occured to me, so thank you xD @kev Thanks a bunch! directly tracing the old flash makes sense. Learn to draw by muscle memory. Gonna see if i can find some nice books and get myself some tracing paper this week

First off, i hope this is the right place for this topic (if not feel free to move/remove it) well over the last few weeks i've started to enjoy drawing. Oldschool imagery to be precise. Yet i only seem capable of copying existing pictures and i just can't seem to put images i have in my head onto paper. Also i can't draw a straight line to safe my life, this is what i struggle with the most. Has anyone got any tips for me? Just as a disclaimer of some sort; I in no way wish to become a tattooer. I'm not that arrogant to think that just because some people say ' that looks like ' when they look at a drawing i did i got what it takes to tattoo people. Not trying to disrespect the artform in anyway. If you can't bring something positive to the art, don't even bother. Well anyway I hope some of you brilliant artist can give an excited amateur some tips;) Cheers everyone

Dear god, i'm in tears xD sorry for the double post but this is hilarious

hahahaha this is classic

going to sing along till my lungs explode

Just bought my ticket for madball with H2O as an opener. They dont come to the Netherlands often so I'm excited as can be:D figured i'd share that excitement here

@Gregor I have a weak spot for nice black and grey work, for realism and for starwars. Your tattoos are awesome! o and Embers the progress on your arm is insane, love it!

This

last time i got tattooed was when i got my first one last october, the itch for a new one is crazy. Sadly the lack of funds is also crazy

Just came across the portfolio of Emmy, an up and comming tattoo artist from The Netherlands. You can check out her work here tattoos by emmy @ needle art | Facebook She specializes in black n grey work. I really think she deserves some international recognition

Yes i see it now, thank you:) ofcourse i will let you guys know when im going for a new tattoo. I've also fallen in love with the black and grey work from Emmy at needle arts (google her!) she's really up and comming talent. Thanks for the welcome all

Thank you:)

Thanks! I tried to post in the latest tattoo lowdown. The post is there but the picture won't show. Cheers

This is my first and only tattoo so far that i got just over a month ago.

hmm apparently the picture i posted is broken, i posted it in other threads and it seemed fine, its also on my profile for those interested

how long does it take before a mod approves a post? i replied to some threads but i can't seem to find my responses anywhere

City Creat First Tattoo New on this forum and just introduced myself in the initiation topic and i figured i might as well share my only tattoo i got so far here as well. Its the crest of the city i grew up in. It was an awesome experience getting it and more will probably follow;)

Thanks! yeah, I'm not sure yet what i will get next (nor when i can afford another piece:P) but im hooked. I really dig the oldschool traditional style that gets shown on this forum allot, but i yet have to find an artist here in the Netherlands that can pull it of as bright and crisp as I see here. But hey, im still young so i got plenty of time to pick my next piece.

Hi everyone, After lurking for some time i figured why not register so i can actually participate in conversations and comment on all the awesome pieces of art that are featured on this forum/site. Little introduction about myself: My name is Chris and I'm an 18 year old from the Netherlands. Currently I only got one tattoo on my left calf. It's the crest of the city I grew up in and I've always loved the design so i thought it would be a good design for my first. I love it:D Anyway i included some pictures in the attachments, one is taken when it was 3 days old and still red, the other is the healed result. Cheers, Chris
