You summed up the problem quite nicely but I suggest you give up this conversation with him. Otherwise it's going to feel like you're beating your head against a wall.

Haha, the videos and links have actually helped a little :) You guys rock, I knew you'd all be able to cheer me up. I think Songify and Cute Overload are my favourite things now.

hope this is ok to post, i took a picture from a page in 'outlaw biker tattoo revue' from the early 90's that i bought online some months ago.. tattoo by Ed Hardy.

Haha, thanks man. :) I know no one will be exactly excited about it until they know it's not a shitty tattooer, but I thought I might as well add this in here, haha :P

So uh... congratulations?!

a friend of mine went to the Brighton convention earlier this year and emailed me this picture of one Valerie Vargas did.. such a great tattoo.
i'll post my panther head by Chad Koeplinger once it's finished.

Ok, figured it out. Should be up. Whew..

i agree, if he gets mad at her for getting an actual good tattoo then he's a retard who shouldn't be teaching!

Same here mate- in fact, if I could just spend a few months in New York, that would be grand. A lot of my favourite studios seem to be either there or not too far.

haha, glad to help. really looking forward to seeing the rest of these - smith street is at the top of the list of places i'd love to get tattooed at one day.

Thanks for posting that link Iwar.

Thanks Abees, you rock :) When you don't have a TV, YouTube playlists take up a lot of that time you have when you're bored before sleeping, haha.

+1 on the jodie marsh thing, it was pretty much version 1.0 of the whole 'tattoo school' thing.

First episode is out!
Marcus Kuhn's - The Gypsy Gentleman - Home

My torso is done and done :) Finished picture has been in my gallery for a while now.
I know Valerie posted this in her gallery, but in case someone might have overlooked it you can check it out here:

Valerie was going to do a guestpot at a local shop here in Oslo, but had to cancell in the last minute. She offered me to get the tattoo done at Frith street instead, so I jumped at the opportunity and flew back and forth in less than 30 hours. It was a blast! :)

Mr. Blaze, if you are a real person, I'm sorry but your tattoos suck. Your grammar, spelling and use of capitalization also suck (maybe even more than the tattoos). You're the one who wanted to post pics and get our opinion so badly. Well we gave it, honestly. Attacking people because they don't like your horrible tattoos isn't going to keep any one here up at night, trust me.
If you aren't a real person, then here's your trophy for second best troll (number one still goes to Mr. Bubble)

(can't believe i just google image searched 'shit')

Wow that sounds really cool, MsRad! You'll have to keep us filled in, I really want to see it when it's done! :)
Thanks about the new tattoo.. well, I say thanks, it's not like I did anything, lol. I always feel weird saying thanks when someone compliments my tattoos, it's like I'm saying thanks for someone else's work. But you know what I mean :) I love it. Didn't have a picture on my computer of my tattoo from Charlie, but thankfully everything's on the internet these days anyway. Hope this isn't too big...

Here's the deal......LST is not for this back n forth poking at one another! As Jayessebee pointed out there are many other forums to do this on and LST is not one of them! People can disagree which is great but be respectful when writing.

My boss has a neverending supply of Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier shirts. He also drives his "lambo" (lamborghini) to and from work each day. He also has no tattoos, but "has designed some" for friends. He also doesn't know anything about the actual Ed Hardy. At first, I thought, "Oh, maybe not a douchebag indicat––– oh.. yeah. Yeah, it is. Always. Without fail."

Or just go to the hardy marks publishing website they have lots of amazing books. Just google it

I'm sure I'm repeating everything here but...
Lady heads are super hard to make nice and super easy to fuck up.
I don't have examples or links but some tattooers who I think do/did awesome lady heads (and add their own flavour) are, in no particular order:
Chris Conn
Valerie Vargas
Isaac Fainkujen
Bart Bingham
Theo Mindell
Jack Rudy
Sleepy G
Bob Wicks
Justin Weatherholtz seems to be great at everything.
Steve Boltz
Chad Koeplinger
Chris Garver
Tim Hendricks
There are plenty of tattooers who constantly do great tattoos but these spring to mind mostly because of their individual subtleties with lady heads.
I also didn't include realistic style girl heads 'cos that's slightly different.
The girls on most of the zeis flash have some great little nuances too.
