SongAngel 153 Posted May 25, 2005 ^ garbage. Played out, and totally cliche' tattoos. at least get a matt rink or someone doing something progressive, rather than jump on the pop-star steamroller. definately not my style. giant is also good. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

showbiz00ditc 31,974 Posted May 25, 2005 deim ... any story behind the magnet/bitch tat? haha just curious and for my tattoo im thinking of like a asian style rising sun... (mind you i am white) and i think the asian lettering are played out like oshkosh... but i dunno i dont think this tat would be too bad. i havent seen too many of em also. was thinking of getting my buddy to design it for me.... with the sun 'rays' coming out n reflecting into water n stuff. wanna get it on my shoulder... like right above my bicep. just a thought. another idea i had was in small writing have 'thanks' right on my pubic bone area. haha just a token of appreciation. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Boy Rocker 9 Posted May 25, 2005 "(mind you i am white) and i think the asian lettering are played out like oshkosh" this reminds me of the Japanese tattoo artist in Philly (?) that was pissed at all the white frat boys/girls coming to get Kanji tattoos so he put phrases like "i am a slut" etc on a lot of folks who didnt know better til they got laughed at by asians who could read it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deim23 23 Posted May 25, 2005 Hey - im just a bitch magnet - what can i say? Well the story if you want to call it that... is I was pissed at my sons momma - got drunk, went to my tat parlor at like 1pm already shitty. I saw this design as a peice of flash on the wall and I knew it was for me, had it on by 230pm that was 5 years ago so far i have made it 18 months clean/sober "Today's peacock tomorrow's feather duster.

deim23 23 Posted May 26, 2005 anyway, how much does a large upper back tattoo cost? i'm reading the japanese Tattoo mag right now... Good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good... the old saying goes... Most artists charge on a hourly rate.. about 100-150$ an hour. Best advice i can give you is to go to a reputed tattoo shop and start looking at portfolios. Ask questions while your there. A back piece, traditional asian style, you are looking at 5-10 hours to outline, 5-10 hours to shade, and another 7-10 to color it all depends on the habits of your artist. Do your homework, look at many portfolios and you will get an idea of how much you will be spending. For me it is not about the money at all. I dont even think about it. Rember, you will be wearing it for life, so.... This sleeve has about 4 hours left to be complete.... i have 17 hours into it so far. "Today's peacock tomorrow's feather duster.

Played out, and totally cliche' tattoos. at least get a matt rink or someone doing something progressive, rather than jump on the pop-star steamroller. definately not my style. i agree that lately toon's work is a bit "played out" - but if you're going to get something for life, i'd prefer something classic and will stand the test of time - rather than something thats trendy at the moment. toon has been doing the same shit for years. long before he started doing pop stars and nikes... anyways, i've got a few... but looking for another. i'm thinking about getting a cheesy heart with my wifey's name in it. seriously. i also saw this friggen cool ass one in a tat mag - it was a stylized/abstract picture of 3 kabuki girls in front of a blood red sun. anyways, hard to describe, but it looked awesome. i should have grabbed the mag when i saw it, but didn't. when i went back to pick it up, i couldn't find the issue again. oh well. the search continues...
