loz looks good but i cant lie, i liked it better when it was just the outline without the shading but thats me....

[Lozinski 660,284]

Oh it's not close to being done. Only the bottom half is. You can't really see the detailing in the picture. Once it's fully done, I'll take way nicer pics!

have to disagree with you... shading really makes it pop! you thinking about doing colour?

[Lozinski 660,284]

At the base, there's going to be plants with vivid colors down to my ankle and in the sky (soon to be added lol...), there's going to be some orange at the horizon.

For the buildings, it's staying at that dark feel with the red undertones.

seraphim, a girl that used to post on here has a huge phoenix by shige if I'm remembering correctly.

Yeah that tattoo was amazing....I don't think she ever posted the finished product

[koi 1,543]

To have a piece done by Shige? That's better than having sex with sex itself.

[aak 248,150]

ok you're getting kind of weird now, koi.

thinking of finding someone who can make a sleeve out of the hubble pictures of the eagle nebula, have that across the bicep and lead down into the forearm with little galaxies speckled leading into a spiral text wrapping around to the wrist. I think I'll probably have to search really hard to find someone who can tattoo the nebula though. Maybe ill head down to NY to find some of the really good painterly guys. Any recommendations welcome.

leading into this

I would suggest the guy going my leg right now... Julian at 5cent in Ottawa. He's a genius when it comes to any type of shading. The only problem is that they don't really answer emails...

He charges 145/hour

Any nice red ink tattoos out there?

By red do you mean just tattoos with red in them? Reposting mine from a few pages ago.

[Guest I LOVE LFC]

I think he meant when red ink's used where black normally is

[mike lowrey 527,024]

looks good Loz, I think it would look sick as black&grey.

i love old flash so i'm thinking something based on a milton zeis, bert grimm, percy waters, etc joint.

Protip: Decide what tattoo you want before deciding you want a tattoo, ALWAYS.

Exception: If it's an awesome artist you admire or know personally, AND you have at least 1 tattoo already.

I second this...

if you can book a chest piece a week out the artist isn't worth it... unless you know the artist the good ones book months in advance and are by appointment only. don't do it.

145 an hour. that's ridiculous.

[aak 248,150]

I'm paying $150aud an hour and I think it's more than fair. It's been said over and over, you get what you pay for. Less chats more tatts.

[2000dB 208,857]

not mine, obviously.

I have 4 tattoos by the artist I would go to. He's mah guy

mostly i wanted to start a discussion about chest pieces or stomach tats. I don't know anyone personally with one.

baizillas octopus is my favorite

[baizilla 810,635]

^thanks

here is my chestpiece.. noviss, i have to warn you though, it hurts like a motherfucker.

artsy picture from some magazine... all i could find at this moment.

i really dig these chestpieces.. especially the owls:

unknown artist

thomas hooper

sarah schor

[noel_ 2,600]

some of the best work i have ever seen

That is awesome

[superbeveridge 405,951]

145 and hour is average or on the low side for anyone worth your while. anyone that does real good custom work would charge that. my guy charges 160/h... but i get a discount because he is a customer/friend of mine.

Nice octo! do you have any other tattoos or is that the only one? The longest I've been tattooed is only like an hour and a half. I'm usually fine with the pain while getting tacked, it's the next day when it's stingy and burny that I turn into a little bitch.

I seriously want something by Sarah Schor so bad. No one cool ever comes to Seattle tattoo convention.

[noviss900 41,618]

got this today, still real bleedy

[curemyself 119,945]

Stop complaining about prices. If its too steep, then go to someone else. Spend the money, its worth it. My artist just jumped from 150 to 200/hr... its all worth it in the end. Don't cheap out, you'll regret it... forever.
