Welcome. And what he said ^.

I'd be curious to see it in better light.

Welcome!

ditto!

That Indian skull is really good. Welcome.

welcome!

welcome.

@Maikel64 Nice! Don't forget to credit your artist.

glad to see you back!

Welcome and good luck! Post some picture of your work, please.

Welcome. Personally, I find image tattoos way more interesting (in the long run) that symbols or text. You might find that in the end any tattoo itself really only has meaning to you - and basis that you don't need to be quite so literal with the concept. On the other hand - not everybody feels that way and you should get what you want.

Check out the stickeys - there won't be much "shop talk" here, at least technical-wise. I've got ships arriving here from Pt.Lisas almost every week.

agreed. He's got some good realism pieces in there, and some nice Asian inspired work, too. Whatcha gonna get?

Since that particular tattoo doesn't appear to be of photographic quality (it's still a well-done tattoo, mind you) I'd be curious to see more of his portfolio.

Realism is just a style, not a difficulty. Some artists can't do it at all, and some realistic specializing artists can't draw and can only reproduce a reference.

@tattslave Not 1 but 2 (very San Francisco) mermaids!! Nice.

I don't like cold weather much. and welcome!

I live in the area, and am currently engaged in a large coverup. What kind of style art are you wanting to obtain? Oh yeah, and welcome!

Ha! Certainly not - overall. Generally in respect to physicality - often, especially when regarding rape. Actually, I'm sympathetic with both your and your Mom's views, but I'm more in line with her strategy of "broad spectrum" solution. Healing human nature can and should be tackled from all angles - but I'm more inclined to believe that raising a new generation of humanists who think and act ideally will enable mankind to evolve into something respectable much faster than trying to chip away at restoring what's already broken, ingrained and imbedded in our current foundation. Well there. Solved the world's problems this afternoon. Guess I'll go and find a cold beer to celebrate :p

Welcome, and pics, please.

I dunno. The girl could easily be recognized by someone. Fingers crossed. In the meantime, and not to demean your viewpoint (as noted above), why limit your observations to just women? Way too often humans just treat humans (and everything else, too) horribly all across the board. It certainly is more publicized and outrageous/disgusting when any group preys on a weaker group - and there are plenty of groups who are persecuted, just one of which is women.

welcome!

cameltoe!

welcome!

Welcome, and you don't need to sell the idea of removal to us. check out the forum - we have a whole section devoted to it already.
