[tricky]

Not into tattoos myself but i still find some look good on other people. These are probably the best ive ever seen.

Gotta say... I hate this stuff. They look like the prints you find on shitty t-shirts. Will date terribly. People should

i stopped reading after i saw the words 'inked' and 'tatted up'.

Lloydchristmas, i seriously have no idea how you can say that those tattoos will date terribly. Can you explain because I really dont understand how that makes any sense at all.

pigments bleed and get less defined over time. 'bold will hold' is an over used term but it's true. that shit will look terrible in 20 years. a

Ahh ok thanks, I thought he meant the style would be dated.

[nautical hyperblast]

no, but that might end up being true too. stuff like that could end up being perceived like tribal tattoos are today or something.

I feel like I'm looking at shitty album art

[nautical hyperblast]

i just think that stuff is really boring in comparison to traditional tattoos. it's like oh cool you must be a graphic designer/your tattoo artist is just a graphic designer with a different medium. i dunno.

It's just some flash, but I got my 13th tattoo last night, was supposed to be on Friday the 13th but the shop got swamped and couldn't fit us in, so our guy stayed late for us on Saturday and gave us 14th tattoos.

[futurist]

gonna get my first tattoo this weekend, gonna let a friend stick-and-poke. thinking either a fly, or a leather gimp mask on my leg. can't decide which. thing is the fly might be too much, and i dunno about getting the gimp mask filled with black. we'll see.

So relieved people are down on those tattoos above, looks like a fucking steam punk inspired Volcom stone design or some shit...

The tattoos at the top of the page look like shitty Bioshock bathysphere maps

[dog liver]

i'm about to go all in on my left arm. the artist who did my right sleeve charged me $150/hr five years ago.
he's now charging $200/hr. so fucking disappointing, as it'll be beyond my budget

doing this though and hope to finish by mid july

[donut]

Pics of sleeve please.
