Tattoos

[the Repeater]

has anyone had a tattoo removed?

(a friend of mine has but the way she went about it was pretty fucked up)

i was going to get some coverups done, but im thinking id rather have a clean neck again

Depends on the quality of the tattoo. Poorer quality or ink that is not blue or black will be more easily dissipated. I think it usually requires like 8-12 sessions spaced out for healing...

A friend of mine had four sessions on a really dark, shite, splotchy armband thing and it's pretty pale now.

You can get a much less dark and deal-able coverup with a few removal sessions, though the whole thing is pretty laden with process.

Actually red is one of, if not the, hardest colors to remove.

[ajax]

[Aku]

any dark skinned dudes here? went to the tattoo shop and they said brown is a bit iffy to colour so i'm most likely gonna have to stick with black :/

online it said that there are more vibrant colours to ink with for darker skin, any info?

I never heard of yann black, but his work is pretty cool. I would never get it. but its alright in its own cookey way.

Anyone got a good tip on an artist that likes doing weird oceanic/ maritime work? I need to start on my arms.

I love the contrast of this. Looks great overall, regardless of what the actual art is.

^the cutout tet offensive scene on his stomach is whack though.

who is that guy/model? i see him all over lately

[LetsGetSerious]

the majority of those images are fucking weak

[the Repeater]

Whether or not you like Yann Black is subjective, I think some of it is better than others.

What you do have to give credit for is literal, absolute translation the drawings and the straightest lines I've ever seen tattooed, which is considered one of if not THE hardest thing to tattoo.

Drawings are so stylized it's a love/hate style. End wearer's body is a big part of the success or failure of this style as well.

I gotta cred the guy for being so niche.

the lack of shadowing in the above pic makes it look a bit cartoony

Has anyone been inked by Thomas Hooper from NYAdorned? If so, how long was the waiting list?

[stayhandsome]

in a few weeks i plan on going to ann arbor michigan to get tattooed by a guy i've been watching for a while. thinking about getting a transparent like skull on my elbow as if it was in another dimension. on his forehead will be a keyhole with a key going inside topped with two jewels (knowledge). needless to say i think his styling will be perfect for this idea.

thomas only books three months out but is usually booked solid for that timeframe... so basically, make sure you hit him up at least three months before the date you want.

this shit is pretty impressive as far as aesthetics go, but it's a terrible tattoo imo

it's great work, but it doesn't translate as well on skin imo

amanda wachob tattoos

pretty artistic and non traditional stuff. i can dig it

[Egpt]

wow i like those a lot, specially the abstract ones.

[stayhandsome]

paints splats, eye balls, weird lines all over with cut outs for the heart?

i hate being such a purist but i feel sorry for all of these people. i'm glad to know these idiots will spend their lives answering the question "what do those mean to you"

why can't someone have a tattoo solely based on the aesthetic?

most "meanings" people find for tattoos are ridiculous and are pretty much just a way for them to justify getting a tattoo done, at least these guys are being honest. besides, even the colors might have some meaning to the person that had it done.

i can appreciate those tattoos a lot just like i can appreciate abstract paintings, plus it's remarkable how realistic those paint splats look.

[dino might]

i like the idea, but just like communism, for me it only looks good on paper.

creative yeah, but if im going to drop money on tattoos, i want them to be recognized as such. for most of those it really (at least from a far, and thus, how most people will see the work) just looks like they had some extra fun painting their living rooms.....
