Tattoos

[Lawl.]

Wow, I just lurked this all day.

My parents would murder me if I ever got a tattoo however.

But, while in college if I finally decide to study abroad (Japan, its always been a dream of mine), then I'll get one out there, 1) to remember that part of my life 2) because I would want my tattoo to be authentic. I have ideas forming already :]

japanese tattoos are more authentic?

authentically japanese?

[dino might]

i think hes saying he wants jap tattoos from jap tattooers

[2000dB]

I think he means that authentic japanese tattooers make authentic japanese tattoos. unfortunately there's only so many of them remaining, even in japan.

I was tattooed by Horizaru while he was in the US and I highly recommend you go to him. Great work.

Is your tattoo featured on his site? Just went through the gallery and his work looks amazing.

[AstroWolf]

I was just looking through a couple of his photos and saw tattoos of shoes. Who in their right mind gets a shoe tattooed on themselves.

I'm about to finish tying all of these together. I'm gonna put a hanya up on the front of my upper chest/shoulder, and then tie it all up with wind bars or water I guess.

someone should get the skull from the ambassadors. it's a skull but it's dope.

also this is dope i think

SO DARK

[dino might]

^had the same idea as steve-o but with a +100 year twist to it. nifty

[DüM]

ambassadors skull would be really dope, but where would you put it. weird shape.

[derek]

elephant by yutaro @skull and sword. color in a month or two

[Servo2000]

do you think that guy feels bad about putting this on someone permanently

he probably should

I'm not a big fan of Yann Black. The dude has talent; some of his stuff is really interesting looking, and I'm the last person to tell a person they're going to regret a tattoo, but I can't imagine a giant scribble of a dog on your back or a horizontal line running the length of your leg is going to be a design you'll appreciate for a very long time.

[shark jacobs]

I find Yann Black's stuff very refreshing. I think he does a better job of making use of the body's features than a lot of guys; I wish more tattoo artists would do more to integrate the shape and dynamics of the body into their designs. The vast majority of tattoos people have are just flat drawings copied onto a bare patch of skin.

look at this. you may think that its simplistic or retarded or whatever but appreciate that it could only work (if it works at all) as a tattoo.

I don't really like his sketchy scribbly cartoon style he does with a lot of his stuff but i wish more artists would be influenced by his use of the body as a canvas

[2000dB]

I think he's based in montreal now... been seeing a bunch of his work around. I like it.

[Servo2000]

that second image from him is actually pretty cool

[DüM]

yeah that's pretty dope

I think the eye is really cool too, always had a thing for eyes. the placement fits the shape well but its still kinda iffy to me

[mr fluffernutter]

the second line tattoo and the eye are cool in my book

[billy.]

[panicnation]

that's a nice sweater.

and yann black's stuff looks interesting but i'm a little bit doubtful about how well his designs will age.

[flyordie]

anyone know of any good tattoo artists in singapore?

Not as bad as whomever did the stars...
