Welcome. I really like the work Gre Hale and Kerry-Anne is putting out. You have some very nice tattoos :)

Some time ago, I had a pretty funny experience at a party, where a dude with a few "not-really-bad-but-not-really-good-either" tattoos himself were complimenting some of my tattoos. I was wearing a t-shirt, so my arms were showing. One of my arms is a full colour sleeve done by Marija Ripley, which (in my opinion, at least) is a damn solid tattoo. The other arm is filled with a bunch of smaller black and grey traditional-ish tattoos done by a local artist when I just started getting tattooed. Those aren't bad tattoos either, but there is definately a difference in quality those two arms between. Now the funny thing was, that the guy was really into those black and grey tattoos, and was like "yeah, that other arm is okay too, but THOSE grey ones are awesome". That was really weird for me to respond to, because I feel totally opposite, but I guess peoples taste doesn't always compare to what objectively is the better tattoo quality-wise...

Thank you all for the help. Everything works fine now!

Hey! I have recently registered on here, and have a quick question related to this topic: Will I get a notice, if my post for some reason gets rejected by the admin validating it? I tried posting some pictures in my initiation thread and in the latest tattoo lowdown thread yesterday, but I am not sure whether it has been rejected, lost, or if I just suck at posting things :)

Thanks! I don't have a lot of photos of my tattoos to share with you all, but I have managed to finde a couple, diggin' through Instagram: Done in 2012 by Filip Henningsson from Red Dragon Tattoo in Umeå, Sweden. Photo is borrowed from his Instagram, which can be found here: Instagram Done in 2011 by Tim Pausinger from The Pearl Harbour Gift Shop in Toronto, Canada. Done when he was doing a guest-spot The Sailors Grave in Copenhagen. Photo is borrowed from his Instagram, which can be found here: Instagram

Hey all! I'm new here and have a initiation thread going. Thought I would kick off my posting here with my latest tattoo, done two days ago at Blue Arms Tattoo in Oslo by Tony Nilsson. I have borrowed the picture from Tony's instagram, which can be found here: Instagram

Hi! I've been lurking around this forum for quite a while, and have finally decided to sign up to contribute a bit myself too. My name is Emil, and I live in Denmark. I have been getting tattooed for about 5 years now, and am a big fan of western traditional tattooing. Besides the tattoos themselves, I am really into the whole historical and cultural aspect of tattooing all around the world. I am really looking forward to enjoy this great forum even more, and taking part in some of the discussions! - Emil
