Ja. He's taken your face to model on his poophole. Says it just might be an improvement. On your face, that is.

Just finished adding a skull and gargoyle. Very chuffed with the gargoyle. Can't really see the skull. When I have my wrap off and the scabs are healed I will share a pic. It's going to be difficult to get the whole effect though as I have a finished product in my mind and you won't see it till it's done . Probably in a years time if I go every 3 months.

I am trying a youngster. He has busy adding a Pegasus and mermaid to my wifes phoenix.

You should be careful of young guys adding stuff to your wife's . er ... phoenix.

Whatever that may be.

Just now-now he makes a fokkop, and then ?

Still a long way to go....

Go on...slay it.

3 months time I do the Medusa and a large moon around the gargoyle and castles and tombstones and at the bottom a band of roses and skulls

The same sort of mishmash of very averagely done tattoos that many of my older friends and acquaintances from West Auckland have. Only a lot of theirs were done for free. In prison.

I'm not joking.

You would have been better off going for flash-art off the wall, as at least it would likely have been a reasonable image to start with. Never get a face or realistic animal portrait done by a tattooist who is a less than excellent artist.

I am more than happy with it. I have the work of 2 studios there and the moon and castle will be done by another. It's my design and pictures I chose and I have a picture in my mind where it will all end. Just a case of filling in the characters and then the gaps.
I don't want water color or flesh art . I want mythical monsters and fantasy castles.

And you wanted them badly drawn, prison-style?

Fair enough.

It's my arm. Fu ck you.

Yes. Yes it is. Your badly-drawn-prison-style tattooed arm.

Winner of the maze challenge on Ink Master last night ... not my thing, but it's incredibly well done.

False bitch .... completely ... you should know by now.

My arm is going to take a lot of work before the final picture is done....

AND THE VISION REALISED...

On friday I sit for my next addition.



My first real colour tat which when positioned between the gargoyle and wolf head is going to pop.... Best of all I have kept a spot on my arm which I can see easily .

When I finally find a Medusa that I like ...has to be colour and a stunning body with lots of colour... I am going to start filling in the gaps with tombstones , castle turrets and the like. I kept my gargoyle without shading and colour because its going to get busy around it and it will pop once all the shading and colour is added. I just asked that the pentagon gets removed...only having the dragon and the moon, which will be double the size and on the other wing and go behind the gargoyle linking the dragon and the gargoyle.

The lad did a sterling job....My wife added a pegasus and a mermaid...wrapping around her arm in a twist...on thursday she sits for a fairy....

We decided that instead of wasting money on meals when we have awesome facilities at home we are getting tats for Valentines day.....its so romantic I could cry....

Pain - as a token of love ? Guess anything goes ....

Last night's Ink Master challenge was a stupid one and most of the ideas the recipients had were stupid (mash up two or more completely different tattoo styles). This one won, and was rare in not being too bad of an idea.

Not that great tbh....


Tomorrow I get inked again....can't flippen wait

What's with the wings, are they the zero g version? One of them doesn't match the orientation of the rest.

edit...I take that back. None of them match the orientation of any of the others.

Let's see how it looks when done. I am having it done flipped.
It's a bit off my mystical monsters theme but I want a little colour and this will fit in with the mid arm.

I think I found my Medusa



A months time after the dragon has healed

Don't just copy this, though. Someone else already has it.

Look at artists like Frank Frazetta for further inspiration... he's known for his scantily-clad or naked warrior / mythological women. It wouldn't be difficult for a good artist to take something like this and put snakes in her hair (look for one with a pose that you want).

A purple dragon? I'd say it fit's Sards orientation to a T.

Had a look and saw nothing I liked there......more fantasy than mythical. But what an artist.

When are you going to show us some of your work lad....Only Nieg and myself doing all the ink here

That crooked dagger just kills me.

I like your concept Sards and I agree once your sleeve is full it will look much better. That said. The dagger is the centrepiece and BEFORE you add to it you NEED a VERY GOOD artist to fix it.

I don't have any ink but a family member is a tattooist. You can see some of his work on haze_kopa_art on Instagram.

I found this at the Golden Oldies Rugby FB page and thought it was appropriate.

Its perfectly straight...any movement like a twist of the arm or movement of the hand distorts the blade....Its a tough one.
Thanks on the cofidence..I have a finished product in mind and its going to take a while to complete it but I reckon its going to be awesome. I am giving in a bit with the dragon as its more a mythical creature than a mythical monster but that was pressure from the wife to add something on my arm that she will have on her arm, She is doing mythical creatures. And to also add something with lots of colour.

At the back of my upper arm I am torn between this character from 13 Ghosts

Or Frankenstein


Not necessarily these pics

funny combo : tatoos + mom + pastry :



She is roxane, from " l'atelier de roxane " on youtube (her channel), she does pastry and co with her kids, a channel for kids.
Tatoos gone good ?

The sleeve flows nicely, but I think it'd be better with colour. Why a black and grey rose? If you love black and grey, fine, but you can still mix in the odd bit of colour to make it pop.




(My friend - a woman - has a sleeve that is mostly black and grey but with flowers that are 'muted' somewhat so they don't stand out too much. The artist totally nailed it.)



Sards, I don't think even a master artist could nail that upper character with all those bits and bobs. Way too much going on (unless it was back-sized) and it'd end up being a mess.

Spoiler: show

The trouble is with neck tattoos (leaving aside they are frightfully common) is they make your head appear as though it is stuck on a block or separate from your body

They are ruddy awful.

One of my staff got a massive picture of an English rose on her back.

She regrets it bitterly. She dresses accordingly to hide it. I took her and other staff to a do to celebrate a successful project (at which she was top notch).

She just could not join us in the hotel swimming pool.

I love her to bits. Her husband is the bee's knees. But as she ages, it really does look terribly tawdry, and she knows it.
