zbatch34 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 But I think that quote may not be exact (depending on its exact origins).e.g. a poem at The Poetry has this phrasing (as a small extract): Ohh wow, that's interesting, thanks. I wonder if my quote is exact and origniated on its own, or inspired by that. Definitely needs more research before getting it on me. I tried googling different phrases of it but get nothing lol. Yours is the closest I have seen. Hmm. The search continues. Thanks, closest I've gotten so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CABS Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Just scheduled an appointment with Eli Quinters while he's in Oakland. STOKED! - - - Updated - - - Also, since you're in the Bay Area, you must either go to Freddy Corbin or Katie Sellergren if you choose to go with script. It's one of the Ten Tattoo Commandments. Juan Puente does some really good script too. I like Sonju's script from Tattoo 13 too. I'm sure he learned from the best. joakim urma, CultExciter, MadeIndelible and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Juan Puente does some really good script too. You beat me to it. Very true, and I'm happy to have some of it. @zbatch34, check this out. I'm with Jebb Riley on this one. Script has its place (I have loved ones' names, for example), but I think this graphic solution is so much cooler. Just something to think about. suburbanxcore, Pugilist, Graeme and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dealing with a tailbone/pelivs problem and was more miserable than ever. I didn't really think about how much all your bones and joints rattle together with that machine vibrating away. O_o I sat for 5 hours but there were a couple non-trivial breaks. But once I peel this drippy goopy saran-wrapped mess off my back, I'll have two beautiful Moorish Idols! - - - Updated - - - No effing way you're a grandma. Tattoo looks great! Can't wait to see what's next. Tx! :-D I'm a relatively young grandma and plan to be kicking butt and rolling with my granddaughters for many years to come.

TrixieFaux Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ok, gearing up to leave my house for my session with Kim today! Session 4 or 5 on right arm, I have lost count. I don't know. Maybe the last one... we shall see. I'm sure to post some stuff on Instagram. Hope you're all having a great Saturday. ETA: and by gearing up I mean sitting on the couch with the computer in my lap thinking, "hm, guess I should get up now and head toward the car..." Feeling LAZY. Maybe I can sleep on the table.

Orangutango Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Nolan. Not sure what yet, anyone here been tattooed by him? Hopefully Acme has some of his 70's flash around, what little I've seen I've liked. Graeme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCL Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Next one is coming June 5th, Goku on my stomach. One of my oldest tattoo want-to-haves. Tomorrow I'm going to the local shop to discuss a pirate themed half sleeve... dunno when that will be done, tough. And in early 2015, my Biomech/Organica sleeve will be done. The guy doing it has an insane waiting list, nearly two years for projects this size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubaron Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Wow, 2yrs waiting list is a long time. A lot can happen in 2 yrs. Do artists with that long a wait list take big deposits ? In addition to the quality of the tattoo, I imagine there is some kind of special originality in the design for people to wait so long.

In addition to the quality of the tattoo, I imagine there is some kind of special originality in the design for people to wait so long. I know this wasn't directed at me but just wanted to share my thoughts on long wait times... In June 2013 I made appointments for a big project starting in February 2015. Not quite 2 years (maybe ~1.5 years?). I waited all day in line and put down a normal sized deposit. Didn't even get to discuss my idea with the artist and won't be consulting with him about the design until a month or 2 before my first appointment. I know it all seems crazy to wait that long but I know I will get an unbelievably awesome tattoo. And yes a ton can change during the long wait time, finances, life goals, health, or simply design ideas for the tattoo. I want to get tattooed by him and my choices are basically patiently wait or not get tattooed by him at all. chrisnoluck, Zillah, Shaun1105 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubaron Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 What style is your artist ? Any concerns she/he will not have issues with your design or subject ? I can see waiting for a particular artist if there is something very unique about their style and designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mostly does Japanese. I havr no concerns because I trust his professional judgement on what will and wont work in a design. I have so much faith in his ability that I would let him outline my entire back without him showing me the design first.

In addition to the quality of the tattoo, I imagine there is some kind of special originality in the design for people to wait so long. Nah its the normal deposit of 100 CHF which seems to be the standard in Switzerland, regardless of the size of the project. The guy I'm going to has a lot of fans so to speak, and almost exclusively does large pieces. I have my reasons to go to him and wait until early 2015. I fully trust him and I know what he is capable of. He will draw and design a biomech/organica 3/4 sleeve for me. Sort of like a mixture of works from Guy Aitchison and Markus Lenhard. Completely his own style, which I adore, as he perfectly understands to capture beauty in the morbid. Also its gonna be awesome because I leave him complete freedom, and you know how things turn out if a tattoo artist can let his creativity run free.
