SStu Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm planning on getting a dragon tattoo this year. I've gone through some personal struggles this year and come out better for it. So I think the symbolism of the dragon would be fitting. This will be my first tattoo so I have been reading this board for a while (I was refereed here by cfgsteak) doing some research. I am very unsure who to trust to do this in my area. I'd hate to have one of the many first tattoo misshapes that seem to be so common. I like to find someone near Toledo but I'm more than willing to travel who could do a Japanese style dragon on my upper shoulder and pec. I would want someone who could draw an original piece for me. Thanks guys! Not sure about inside of Ohio, but Buffalo isn't too far away.

reverend1 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hey Rev! These guys won't steer you wrong. How far are you willing to travel? I'm willing to travel a decent distance to get a quality tattoo. Three or four hours at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reverend1 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 kore flatmo Plurabella Tattoo Studio, Kore Flatmo, Cincinnati, Ohio, Tattoos I really have been thinking of trying to get a consultation with Mr. Flatmo. I really like his work. Cincinnati isn't too far, especially since I would think this will require a couple of sittings. I have some friends down their I can stay with too. Maybe is time to bite the bullet and give him a call. Thanks Cu-Bu. gougetheeyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdhenry2010 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Wow all of these tats are awesome. I'm pretty sure my next tattoo will be a dragon, especially since I was born in the year of the dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugilist Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have recently become obsessed with this sheet of E.C. Kidd flash (from 1912! 100 years old!!!) which I believe is from the Hardy book Flash from the Past, and am very seriously considering getting one of the beautiful dragons off of it. Love love love everything about them. Lochlan, ian, hogg and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
