@Hollie You are way close to Mike Moses at Cauldron https://www.instagram.com/thedrowntown/?hl=en and Chad Lenjer at Black Metal https://www.instagram.com/challenjer/ to not get work by these artistic giants.

Welcome! Bacanu looks quite capable from this instagram page. You should do quite good with him. Congrats! You'll find several historical threads here that discuss text as tattoos. My take on it = find an event or memory that brings you to a favorite feeling about your family. Go for the images and drop the text. Tattoos don't have to be literal for the casual stranger.
-
Yeah, you'll forget that pain 😁
-
The answer could be one of several possibilities. Was your Mom's earlier work by him done in the same style, or is the tattooist trying to learn new things? Has he developed a personal "habit" that inhibits production? Any number of factors could change how any "artist" performs. I'd find someone new, myself. Where are you located?
-
It's way too early to tell. You'll have to wait 3-4 weeks before you really know what it's going to look like. I'd be more concerned with how it already appears to be significantly lighter in just one week. That might change with healing, too. Hopefully the tattooist really got the ink down in there adequately . . .
-
Do you have any tattooists in your area that specialize in nature and/or animal scenes?
-
Very pretty!
-
they do take forever to heal
-
That looks pretty normal to me, but it's hard to tell since the ink is mostly orange/red. It's not hot, is it?
-
Welcome! Let's see what you've got!
-
That's a pretty good looking free bird!

Newbie Question: Ideas on how to join these 2 back pieces?
SStu replied to Kathy-Kat's topic in Initiation
I would, in the process of refreshing what you've already got, embelish and expand what is already there. You could join them in that process. You would need to find the right artist for that endeavor, and we can help with that. Where do you live? -
or a spider. never mind the web.
-
That doesn't particularly look like those spots relate to where white highlight ink would have been placed, at least from this vantage point here . . .
-
A picture or two would help us provide the realistic possibilities . . .
-
Hello! and if you've got initial questions you can do that here, too.
-
Welcome. If you've got initial questions you can do it via this thread, too.
-
Hmmmm. No. My history in that situation was at least e-mail correspondence.
-
Yep, no problem. And your linework looks really good, too!
-
I can't say that as a horribly bored teenager I wouldn't have been drawn into such an endeavor. Glad I'm an older and more patient person now.
-
No you don't.
-
It certainly can be done, but you have to realize that: a/ it'll just look like black panels, probably not like ribbons any more b/ the black ink on the cover is going to be much blacker and look much newer on top of what is a well-settled in tattoo.
-
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. And some Deutsche, too!
-
We're (New Orleans) supposed to find out tomorrow if the Governor is going to extend the May 16th deadline (or not), but tattoo shops aren't even on the phase 1 list for initial openings.
-
agreed, leave it alone. besides, the actual earth is deformed, anyway.
