Wow i know exactly who this is and surprised it's healing like that. lemme know if you need help reaching out to him at all

Hope you're having a blast 😞 I'm on the opposite side as well. send pics!

My work from Augis!! We did the 3 day marathon and I am ecstatic with how it turned out!

My god... Are you trying to enter the pain olympics?? jk jk. I'm about to do 3 back to back days on Tuesday but they will be in 6 hour increments. My greatest motivation to fight through the pain is that i'm paying for full day sessions and so I want the most for what i'm paying. Also, the more I prolong the sessions, the longer i'll have to wait and i'm extremely impatient 😂 I've heard of the ruthless marathon sessions and I can only imagine. Make sure you eat up/hydrate yourself/and try to relax as much as possible 😁. Best of luck and agreed, i'd love to see the day by day progression!

Scars can be covered in my opinion but as the texture/skin/a lot of things really are different with a scar, your artist has to be quite good and only he will really know if he can or can't. I had my scars on my arm covered but they were not very deep so there really wasn't an issue. Try to see if your artist has done any work on other scars or cover ups. My advice would be to find someone who specializes in this kinda thing. Just my 2 cents

I genuinely couldn't tell if it was bloody or just sprayed 😅

One of my artists lets me use card for tattoos that are gonna cost over $600 cause they don't want me carrying that much cash on me 😂. But i'm with @Gingerninja on this one. better to bring more than too little. Unless you absolutely know that you're only getting charged $300, it's better to bring more just in case. Happy Tattooing!

What's the placement? Isn't my cup of tea but it is a cool design! Hope it turns out great!

Look, I would just breathe/take your time and start looking up more reference photos of what you really like. It's definitely not the worst tattoo and I don't think the artist is as bad as a scratcher... but you should really look into someone's portfolio (look for healed pictures rather than only fresh) and take your time choosing a very solid artist. As mentioned earlier, ones that are experienced with coverups will help and once you have finalized your "vision," i'm sure the artist will come up with something to help you out. It's your body. Do what you truly want lol

Welcome! We don't judge here, regardless of your tattoos. You have a lot of different people here in different locations with preferences in different styles. Feel free to ask around for artist recommendations. There are a lot of great and trustworthy artists out there so don't lose hope!

Thats tough. Hope you're doing alright yourself! Love the simplicity of the tattoo. Welcome to the site!

If you have a particular artist in mind, I would probably look through all of their work and/or start talking to them about your idea/concept. In addition, you could probably play around with photoshop or any cheap photo editing app and put together stuff and try to come up with something you like? My advice here may not match what you like and i'm pretty bad at putting concepts together. My favorite artists are: Nicklas Westin, Artemy Neumoin, Jess Yen, and Filip Leu. They've got some nasty work if you haven't already checked them out.

I got trash polka, lettering, realism, and looking forward to getting oriental next. I like em all and idc what anyone tells me.. except my bank when they tell me I don't have enough money for all these tattoos 😉

Definitely agree with you both! I don't know why but I just have this huge sense of urgency and want that immediate gratification from getting the full sleeve done. With all this being said, we'll see how long i'm able to last lol. Longest i've sat was 5 hours and the 5th hour was hell. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hey Everyone, I'm still learning the search function and couldn't find exactly what I wanted (granted I didn't look through all the pages 😅) . What's everyone's opinion on marathon tattoos? I'm getting a sleeve done with 3 consecutive days back to back. This is due to the artist that I wanted only doing a guest spot for 5 days and I want the full sleeve done. Feel free to criticize or speak openly! Just wanted some thoughts. Thanks!

He seems to be a trad/neo-trad/oriental tattoo artist. Is that the style that you're wanting it in? Typically artists want to continue tattooing in their own style so it's most likely not going to turn out exactly how you wanted it as @oboogie stated. The first tattoo always gives the most anxiety because it's the first step into the tattoo world (imo). If you're still that unsure, you could do the ole "change your phone background into the tattoo or a picture of your body with the tattoo using an app and look at it everyday to see if you want to commit to that." jus my 2 cents

I absolutely loved my tattoo when I got it but I'm a little insecure fool so it took a lot of stranger's compliments and reassurance from my friends for me to fully love it and accept it. As for your tattoo, it looks great! Really hoping you start loving your tattoo, cause from my eyes, you definitely have a reason to.

Congrats! I liked his koi/dragon creature on his page 😂. Don't forget to send pics!

1) flash is top 3 superheroes in my book 2) No disrespect intended but I refuse to go to bang bang due to their price. They are definitely talented though

I'm originally from Ohio so I know your pain John haha. Definitely will be getting that leg sleeve done.... as soon as I can recover from the blow to my bank account after my sleeve next month 😂

@scottyg Thanks for the recommendation! Absolutely love his work. Definitely want someone like him to do a back piece or leg sleeve at some point in the future.

Hello everyone! New to the forums and looking forward to conversing with you all. I have a mix of different tattoo styles on my body but had a specific question about neo-traditional/japanese. I have been into realism since the beginning and I now have a better "trained eye" so to speak. I know what to look for and know small little red flags now. However, I know nothing about traditional/neo-trad/oriental tattoos and i'm not sure what makes a tattoo artist "great" in this style. I looked through the forums and didn't find an answer so I'm hoping someone can help educate me on what to look out for. I'm also in NYC so if anyone has any recommendations of artists around this area, it would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Yep! i'm weird and am gonna keep one side of my body completely black and grey and the other side with color lol

I'm new here so i'm not sure who most people know but Augis Art! Gonna be getting a sleeve by him but I haven't met anyone who's heard of him. Wonderful talent.

Got a tattoo appointment with Augis_Art_Official in May and I cannot wait. It's going to be my first multiple session tattoo so i'm a bit nervous but i'm hoping I can be a trooper.
