That’s a great piece of advice from rob, but I agree that you should take a stab at it (no pun intended ;) ). Push yourself, take a break, come back to it later. You’ll almost always look at everything you’ve done and say “It needs this” or “I should’ve done that”. Maybe try something that gradually transitions from mechanical to organic.

Nice work!

Start with clear contact paper to get the lines of what is already there exactly as it is, then use some opaque whitening sessions, 2-3 should do it. Once you have that start looking for or coming up with designs that would fit relatively well over the existing piece, use alot of purples, dark dark blues, blacks and dark greens…

I have a worse example Len :o

A boy from the next village contacted me on FB and asked me if i could repair his home tattoo done by someone he paid £20 for. It was a cover up of a home tattoo so there are 2 tattoo’s on his arm but how the hell do you start on this mess?

I wouldn’t know where to start and would NEVER attempt…

Your linework is wonderful, your saturation is great, and your style is consistent. I don’t think I’ve found my “style” yet lol. And the good thing about the guitar is you can always convince them to let you throw some more in it after its healed ;)

Well thanks guys :D

Ok, now I’m going to be a bit harsh… but constructively :) STOP doing that. Don’t tell me that something sucks, FIX IT. No one wants to hear how bad it is… we want to hear what you started with, and what you did to improve it. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS think craftsmanship.

Happy late birthday (since I haven’t been on in forever)!!! :D

Let’s just all move to a central location, open the largest shop in the world and ink it up!

If I won the powerball, this would totally happen ;)

I don’t blame you Len. I usually tell people to avoid foot tattoos, as well as hands. They don’t last. But when they insist, I make it well known that not only is it going to fade quickly, it’s also going to hurt like a bitch… thus, typically requiring more than one sitting. At least that way I can play the “I told you so” card if they start…[Read more]

I think that drawing is worth a hell of a lot more than $30 (here it would probably go for no less than $200, depending on where you go). I would have drawn her a smiley face and pointed her towards one of those biker gang shops :D

The guys pretty much covered it with the first two. The girl in the sailor hat is wonderfully done, but seems to have lost her emotion from the pencil to the pen. Instead of lining all of her facial features, only do some of them… especially the lips. The first drawing made her look as if her top teeth were showing, which I thought was very…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum! Read your heart out ;)

Len I think you’ll drive yourself crazy making that video :lol:
