Classic scorpion! Pedro (scorpioarms on socials) freehanded the legs to go over heavy scars, which is much appreciated! Hard to get a good picture with how it wraps around my arm. We just have one spot left on my upper arm and then it’s full! :D

A full color sleeve I finished a while back. Since we were going with old school album art works, I personally would have gone with bassist Burton or Newsted. But he wanted Trujillo, who is pretty awesome too. We were both happy with the results.

✨ Oliver ✨

7 years old and still smiling like this ❤️

His mom Kristi traveled from Dallas to Austin to get this little portrait of him. I do so many pet memorial tattoos that it’s always nice getting to tattoo these guys while they’re still here making memories with us.

Loved capturing Oliver’s happy little face in this Corgi portrait.

I’ve wanted a tattoo for a long time but never really settled on an idea, and so didn’t get one for the sake of it.

This is the line work for my first tattoo, done by Hannah at Rose & Thorn in Leeds, UK.

Kintsugi vase represents my daughter that we lost 3 years ago, putting the pieces of the vase back together so I have the ability to be a father to my son. I’ve gone with the birth flowers of both children. Gladiolus and poppies for the Vase; larkspur for the arrangement.

Does anybody have a tattoo of a band logo?

11 Upvotes

I have a KATSEYE logo tatted on the back of my thigh. I think it looks very cute, but I was mentioned in one of those snark pages for getting the tattoo.

Of course I don't care, but I don't understand why it's a big deal. People have been getting band logos tatted on them for the longest of time. One Direction, Nirvana, AC/DC, The Beatles, etc.. you don’t even really need to be a fan of the band to get their logo tatted, you can get their logo tatted just because it looks cool.

Does anybody here have a band logo tatted on them?

Discussion White ink tattoo

0 Upvotes

So I prefer monochrome tattoos. I recently met a guy who had an intentional branding done (not what I want!). It healed amazingly clean with perfect white scar lines.

I'm not into heavy body mods for myself so I was thinking, what if I got a tattoo done in white ink instead of black?

My 6" tattoo on my back is a crow in black and white and it healed perfectly.

Are there any cons to using just white? Is it more likely to fade or scar?

Basically I want a simple phoenix (bird, not xmen), in white or maybe silver. Will it look bad without other colors?

Skin treatment before Tattooing

0 Upvotes

Hi all, hope all is well. I was wondering if there were any tattoo artists here that has experience tattooing over pretty significant stretch marks; I’m 18 and during puberty I had grow quite a bit get pretty big stretch marks over my biceps and front shoulder. I am planning on getting tattoos to try to mask them once they heal and was wondering if it would be easier for artists to tattoo over skin that was treated? I.e I’ve done 2 rounds of RF microneedling as well as Co2 laser in hopes of improving texture. Was wondering if this is helpful/beneficial to the overall appearance of the final tattoo. Cheers
