shit, i just noticed, is that a marijuana leaf in the corner above the fish tale?

i think thats a poppy plant near the other side too

[dino might]

think youre right, i just dismissed it as a lotus blossom or whatever that flower is people like to get tattooed

[beatle]

this is amazing.

I was just gonna say that....soo beautiful...

[beatle]

I really have to think about getting a japanese sleeve some more...Damn..

[buzzed]

dope ink fam0us

only part i'm not feeling are is chinese words but that's just me..really nice work overall

[Brienneoftarth]

did you really get a brand new tattoo?

I really have to second this question. Did u really do that? Jesus Christ. Unless you are in that band....or maybe freinds/work for them.....that is completely ridiculous.

[notesee]

Nice fuckin tats famous, especially like the sleeve in the 3rd picture you posted.

tat is strangely alluring

[keysonawire]

i think the birds you are referring are swallows, not sparrows.

I really like learning the history behind tattoos. Is there a page somewhere that has a list of all the historic uses/significance of tattoos (in different cultures)?

yea. its the actual in album in general. it isnt a tribute to the band. its the whole aesthetic of the album. very complete i may add.

the album came out during the summer of my freshman year in college. i adopted my philosophy in life that day. "crack the sky".

so yes i am proud to say my tattoo is the artwork of brand new's album "deja entendu". and no it isnt because i think the band is so omfg cool!!!

I've been thinking about getting this on my back:

Madonna by the Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch

[dino might]

cool idea, but its an oil painting, im not sure how well that would translate into a tattoo..

and the swallows came about from sailors getting them signifying a safe return home or something along those lines. reason being that whenever they saw the birds in the air they knew land was not too far away

yellowblaze, shige:

*warning* crack-o-lanterns galore

one of the greats of our, or any time IMO. makes me happy to be jappy.

[beatle]

Beautiful...I bet 100 hours....

[Spike]

Nope, one of the bonuses of Shige is that he works ridiculously quickly. Each of those was probably 30 hours tops, the man is an absolute machine. Only person I've seen who works any quicker would be Filip Leu...

ann arbor guy right?

i used to see his stuff in the trades when i was paying attention to tattoos. im a huge fan.

[Larry Bird]

^^^^

cult, do you ever regret some of the tattoo's you got since your a bit older than the bunch of us...(like the neck)

i got pictures of my chest script in my an email attachment that my boy took, since im really bad with computers, how could i transfer from the email attachment on to this thread?

[Charlie Delta]

Larry, download attachment to your desktop, upload it to imageshack.us, choose the directlink for messageboards or something option, copy past in here and voila!

i'm interested in filip leu's work... anyone have any good sites with pics?

although, i know i'll never get the chance...

[FAM0US.]

Those are all amazing. Hopefully one day I'll get something that nice for my back piece, my whole back.

who makes that t-shirt?

[goldengloves]

Jim, those are fantastic! Who did the work?

[jimmyc]

I have been going to the same guy for 20 years. His name is Scott Cooksey and he and his brother opperate a couple of shops in Dallas called Lone Star Tattoo.

mas,

Everyone asks me about that shirt when I wear it. It's from Beautiful Decay and I got it from their site. I don't think they have anymore though.

I'm probably going either late September or early October to get some ink done. I finally decided on the traditional number 13 on my leg. I'm still kinda debating between getting roman numerals or getting some kind design that has some kind of old school flair to it. Any help or suggestions?

[jimmyc]

Don't do that. I mean it's up to you but be damn sure that is something you really want, forever. I've been getting ink for almost 24 years and I have all ready had 3 pieces covered up that I rushed to get in my teens.

Also, if it's your first tat, make sure the artist is good. Check around and pay his rate if he is worth it. It's gonna be there forever so dont go the cheap route.

[sunkenshoes]

Jimmyc, I love the way the right sleeve is cutting off at your wrist.

[wEstSidE]

dino, i know u said ur doing the dinosaur, but how about this.

get the t-rex, and if you like it, keep it. if not, have him put lasers on it.

[dino might]

hahah, its a possibility west, i gotta throw the pterodactyl up in there too though
