jade1955 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hahahaha that's brilliant!I know this is a bit off-topic, but who did your eagle/horses tattoo, mate? I think it's class! :) It is unintentionally funny. Well that’s 30 minutes of my life I'm not getting back. The Eagle & Pharaohs Horses tattoo was tattooed by the very lovely Niki Balls.

The Eagle & Pharaohs Horses tattoo was tattooed by the very lovely Niki Balls. I've wasted time on dumber things, to be honest, haha. It reminds me of those iPhone apps that people use to try to figure out what their tattoos will look like. That's really great man, I'm sure I saw some of Niki's work online just today actually! Can't for the life of me remember where now, though. I think it looks great! :) jade1955 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shit Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Some shops to check out.. Flying Tiger Tattoo Dennis & Brian@ Providence Tattoo The Devil's Rose Tattoo Seth Wood Tattoo Mohawk Tattoos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks a lot bigjoe. Flying Tiger is 10 minutes from me and I am somewhat familiar with the others you mentioned but Mohawk John really stands out to me. Once I can at least get more settled on a style and general concept I can actively find the right artist and discuss details. Unfortunately I'm still undecided as to what I want to do with this.

Mel Noir Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 You'll get there, Wedge! Another thing you can do is just completely immerse yourself in tattooing, with the internet, books, flash, etc. whenever you have some time. I think it's best to look at the tattooers first, and then go from there, like I said, but you can do it the other way around if you want. Sometimes, I've just looked at things I really love, and thought, "wait, why the hell don't I have that tattooed on me yet?". I've ended up with really beautiful tattoos of both Pierrot the Clown and a Russian doll that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Trust me, I look at a lot of various pictures, artists, etc. I've definitely seen things I'd like to have tattooed on me but my issue is placement and making sure whatever I put on that arm (if anything) won't look too out of place. I've also been told just to leave the arm as is and tattoo somewhere else. I'm thinking about this too much probably and need to relax a little but that's the way I get when I'm thinking of new tattoos! Thanks again for all the feedback.

chrismoniz Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 hey wedge... what you choose for additional subject matter is your call... however, because your existing tattoo has a crest kind of feel to it, might i suggest that you use shaded filigree in the background that could flow with your arm? just a thought....

Patrickkinder Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I agree on the shaded filigree suggestion. Could be an easy and killer looking way to make things flow from that tattoo to future pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
