The original work is very well done. Personally I like it. Agreed = get more blackwork around it. Expand!
-
It's pretty dark. Laser 1st would open up a world of options, and you are going to want to wear the final result forever. Once lightened, go see Annie Frenzel in Austin (used to be in SA).

Welcome! Pictures or it didn't happen.

If this song was a tattoo, What would it be?
SStu replied to Sol James's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
The only question is = does that work for you? -
not off-hand, I've just seen mixes on instagram and such. If you are truly going to do "the rest of your body" with it'll all blend together just fine.

SStu replied to Sol James's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
Imagery that is "traditional" might be a tough one. Maybe neo-traditional? Pick a place or person that you associate with this song and start from there. -
That's not the plan I'd be taking. I have never heard of either "no ink to lighten it up" nor "wash with sea salt" before. Not doing laser? As an ex-Atascocitaian myself (Gnarled Oaks Ct) I'm curious to see what Frank leaves you with.

Yep. and let's see who the new reputable artist is, too.

In this world someone will always find a reason to object to almost anything. Bottom line is = there are no rules unless you are trying to impress someone specific.
-
ornamental filigree would be adaptable to whatever space you wanted to dedicate to it, but I'd be careful in getting the right artist. The existing text is already a bit blurry so it's going to be tricky to blend it all together.
-
Nice clean work there.
-
Just add some more of that to and around the original. 3rded on the "doesn't look phallic to me" list.

Traveling to get a large tattoo a logistic nightmare?
SStu replied to Matthew Williams's topic in Tattoo Advice
Wow, @Oiocha, that's a pretty tough Artist's stance. -
In that area = including but not in any way limited to Matt Black, Anka Lavriv, John Sultana, Ivan Barbosa, Angela De Rosette and Anderson Luna. Any one of them also are capable or reproducing that style (if they have an interest to do so).
-
Yeah - kind of a European thing, but there has to be someone in the NYC area who is heading in that direction . . .
-
"Sketch work" could be interpreted a few ways. You might want to post up a couple of references here so we kind-of know what's in your head . . .

Sorry - I'm a dry healer.

I've got a niece in that area (I think) of Thailand. I'll have to let her know about your shop!
-
Yep to both ( @Gingerninja & @Hogrider), but the latter is strictly for those tattooists who you already implicitly trust. I wouldn't recommend that for any of the newbies on the forum.
-
Yep. You gotta wait. It's going to take 6-8 weeks before you really know what it's going to look like.
-
If you're done, you're done - but it's not at all unusual for the "artist" to draw up the design the night before, or even the hour before.

welcome, @SushiDave!

and try not to knock the scab off!
