Having seen it in person yesterday, the colours are brilliant, I love the skulls on his knees. everything was just a continued flow on his legs

i'm having one designed for me right now by mr jamie hewlett, going to get it done next week.

got my first one done at happy sailor, and i'm really pleased with that, but family business and into you seem like a good bet for places to go?

Im thinking of having a completely black sleeve. Its quite a big step. I have been thinking about it for years but have yet pluck up the courage.

I know quite a few people going through blackening up their sleeves, some of them are hoping to do scarification/branding on top. But I most defintely agree on you on it being a big step.

I actualy pianted my arm black a few weeks ago to see what it looked like (It looked pretty good) and it even convinced my hesitant girlfriend. Not really into scarification/branding though, one step to far for me.

Heh, I have thought about getting blocks of black on myself.

Oh I didnt mean for you to go and scarification or branding too! I meant thats what some of them are wanting to do :)

I got a branding done on my leg about 5 years ago, its faded like mad now and you can only really see it when my legs are really tanned as it stays white. Never been able to pluck up the courage to get a tattoo yet, really don't like needles!

Hehe, Im the other way round!

you can also use white ink on top....

I've got from my shoulder down to my forearm done so far and part of the forearm near the wrist. I'm going from my collarbone to my hand so a little bit more and I'll have a fully black left arm. It's time consuming and will probably need a few layers if you don't get it all the sessions near eachother. Bear in mind too, some artists find it boring (even though they probably wont say that) and I've experienced shit service from two tattooists who charged me the same 60 quid an hour for less and less work each time. Now I get it done by a friend who tattoos and is good with the large mags and black.

After my arms finished I'm going to start on my right leg (more heavy blackwork), ankle up to knee in a honeycomb pattern. Should be good :)

If you don't mind paying for the same design about four or five times over, yeah.

I dont think ive seen your tattoos, post them!!

Here is my blackwork sleeve about three weeks ago;

That looks good Dante, I like them in blocks! One of the photos makes your arm look awfully lanky though haha

@concrete, couldn't you just get amateurs to practice on you :)

Haha yeah only angle I could get to capture most of the blackwork, I'm a short arse so my arms aren't very long really.

;-)

i was only joking :)

Nice ink, i've got an appointment with xed to get a sleeve done in a couple of weeks.

my mate did one of these chaps on each foot.

Dogsballs

^ ha. its missing out lower legs though, which are 531 old skool hardcore punk awesomeness.

Hellyeah

haha @ the princess bit.. funny considering whats tattooed on my toes!

I've got my forearms done and I pay taxes, something's not right in my life.

What's on your toes?

Go back a page Dante :)

I vowed I'd never get my hands done, then about 6 years ago I caved.
I'm still super happy with it even though I know its gradually turning blue(it was done with rotring pen ink & bamboo attached to a snapped off car radio aerial, i look back now, laugh & go WTF not FTW) ...still got the bug, still got some virgin flesh, damn, this thread has got me itching for more ink

Haha, I do like that, it is different!

And I know what you mean about the itch, I havent been tattooed since '06 flippin' heck :(

Not yet posted before on this site was put onto it by my older brother (can you guess who he is)thought I will post now as I am into the tattoo's as I know just a little about them a bit more than what I do than fixed wheels. I do not yet have one still making my mind up for what I want.

a young pistanator??

p.s. great tattoos

Thanks!
must be a 3 year itch thing, it's been about the same for me...oh how i miss a bed full of multicoloured scabs ;)
I've got a fair bit of work from Mo Coppoletta though its pretty different from his usual stuff, but i'm thinking its time to put my name down on the Zed waiting list...i just go a bit silly when i see some of his work & know that he's got the sight to envision what i'm hankering after. now if only my wallet was fatter.

Yer what I tit I feel now just read the 5 pages

You're Grahams brother?

Bloody scousers, like a flippin disease, almost as bad as the Jews.

He was skinny once, so would you have been able to tell if the post on page 2 was not posted

Nah....you look nothing like boy George ;)

You, you northernist. You're just upset them scousers are louder than you MonkeyJames.

I have a cover up waiting to be done, and I have no idea how I'm going to afford it :(

Anyone had a experience with Dave Bryant at Evil from a needle? My girlfriend is looking to have a tattoo done and thinks his work is impressive. We visited Frith St but she didn't feel comfortable. Her design is really simple but requires expressive line drawing skills to really articulate the image

as recommended by spaggihoops*:

mie @ family business



*and me

My sleeve was done by Charissa at jolly rouge. I can't say enough good things about her.

Xam @ Frith Street! He's the daddy! Got 2 sleeves by him plus many other things! He knows his stuff! Pro! Really recommend him if you don't mind waiting for a bit! I've been working with him for a few years now and can always count on getting appointments quickly! Check him out!

I got my skyline done by him, I'm happy with it and would recommend him.

Do you have a picture?

not handy, but you have seen it. I'll try to find one and get back to you.

Just had this done

To remind me of my recently passed away grandad. Sailor and proud yorkshireman he was (hence the anchors and white roses).

I got blank banners done so that I can fill them in with a pen depending on what I'm up to!

Smooth linework, who did it? And will the roses actucally be white or? As white wont always show up on "white" skin.

done by a lovely fella called Liam

smooth line work and good bedside manner too!

I'm trying to decide at the mo, whether to put a little shading on the roses or just leave them as is. Once's it's healed up properly I'll have a doodle on it and see what I think

Nice Bristly....thinking of getting a Sailor Jerry style anchor on my calf

Recently booked myself in with Claudia at Frith St for a swallow on my upper forearm, just below my inside elbow
