Maybe, man but I was meaning more, chicks... like the female of the species.

With a tattoo like this you would have chicks eating out of your hand, man.

The chicks would say, "Hey, that tat I dig, what does it mean, man ?"

And you would be like,"What does it mean to you babe?"

And she would guess and after she looked like she was getting sick of guessing, you would say

"Never Had A Bad Poo, babe."

And the Chick would be like, "Coooool !"

Frigg right off? May offend some wink

Least the fella who cant get his powerpoints done is easy found on google if he ever gets lost. Like the tourists you see in London who permy marker their mobile number on their kids arms. One day I'm going to ring one and tell them I'm watching and see what their reaction is. laugh nutters.

Been meaning to get my first tattoo recently but haven’t had chance as there really only is one decent artist in dubai from what i have seen:

http://www.uaetattoo.com/gallery.html

This delay has given me time to decide i definitely want it. Its going to be very simple bold colours so seeing this guys peacock back piece is the reason i am going with him. Hope to then have a conversation about maybe getting my race helmet painted up in a traditional style, something i thought i would have to send to the states to be done.

I’m sure you’ll do your own due diligence, but that peacock tatt seems to have been done by a guy called Dave Walker, aka winstonthewhale, and he’s based in Portland, Oregon.

Thanks for that. bks. I did think the quality in varied styles was perhaps too good for what is a limited market here (its technically not legal for a start). Back to drawing board..

Sorry for that smile

I’ve been nearly caught out myself, until I got brave and started asking people who had fresh work (that I thought looked abysmal, though they didn’t know that, I’m not a complete tt) where they’d been. The quality of their pieces didn’t match the website, or the stuff on the walls of the shop for that matter.

ahh the fun and variety that the binary nature of tattoo appreciation brings.

No, this wasn't just for one presentation, that was an example, obviously.
Yes, I thought it was a good idea, and I still do, I wouldn't have drawn it, looked at it for days and then sent it to Jack asking to get it done.

It's not my first tattoo and it definitely won't be my last. It's for me and that is, frankly, all that counts.
It seems relatively rare in tattooing at the moment to see some bold, single line, pieces. I thought I'd share mine.

Enjoy or don't that's your choice, not mine.

No, genuine thanks on my part. Cheers.

I would follow him on IG, I'm fairly sure he guested in London last year, so he does get over this way occasionally and you might catch him.

I have never seen a tattoo that looks amazing 5 years after it has been done.


Skin/ body changes.
From Ultra HD sharp - it looks 1970's fuzzy
It looks blurred.

It looks crap.

I am polarised thought - I would like one - then I don't.


Seriously - how razor sharp are they after 5 years?
It has a lot to do with the skill of the artist and how you look after them!

I always apply SPF 50 to mine when I am going to be outside with them exposed (Winter or Summer), Also apply moisturizer regularly. I have protective sleeves I wear while working. I don't understand spending so much on something and not taking care of it? I work next door to a tanning salon and I would say 95% of the people going in have tattoos which has always baffled me!

Charming! wink

If your basis for judgement is the quality of the lines, I'm sure you're aware that the forearm isn't exactly a flat surface, the lines are straight, it doesn't photograph well. The scars it covers are straight too...

If your one and only contribution to this thread is a simple dislike for a personal choice, then, well, that's up to you..

Flew into glasgow for a couple of weeks so this afternoon visited forevermore tattoo on hope street where jamie gave me my first tattoo.



Not original but its what i wanted. Simple sharp and colourful. The bowie bolt always brings to mind his song ‘changes’ which is the reason behind it. Also because bowie is a legend tongue out

Chose them as they seemed to have decent reviews and due to having several traditional artists. I’m heading down to demon tweeks tomorrow to buy a new race lid then meeting jamie again on monday to discuss having him paint it.

If you're serious it means you're a moron.

Done by Tiggy at Briar Rose tattoos. I'm unbelievably happy with him, possibly my favourite tattoo to date.
