that's more like a 1.5-2 hour job imo

im not triad, nor am i a chinese cop lol. but i'm just saying :p

im thinking about a tiger tatty on my shoulder. about the size of the 20 dollar bill an estimate of how much u think it would cost ?, and its only going to be the tiger for now

Since this got bumped, I guess I'll post a healed pic of my tattoo from last year. Will be going back again, hopefully SOON. I think I am suffering withdrawal...

That should take under 2 hours with color. Around $300. I would suggest going a little larger.

Skinnypupp, piece looks good! you have any thoughts of sleeving out the arm?? Would look nice with some more japanese imagery and some traditional background.

I'm back in the chair with The Wark for a short sit in Thursday.

Yeah both my arms will be covered eventually

That is some awesome work you have done there! Where are you getting all this work done at? In Japan?

kyoto to be exact http://www.harizanmai.jp/

How much did the Crow cost? How much did the Demon cost you?

I want to get a tattoo on my back , it's going to be a quote about 10 words long, in a simple type font like this:

Can any tattoo artist do this with the same quality? Or for those of you who have tattoo's would you still recommend going to the higher end places?

i want my first tattoo done by a yakuza tattoo artist done by hand and pin.
like in this video.

That would be awesome if you ever were able to. I hear hand and pin hurt like hell! Doesn't anyone here have a tattoo done by hand and pin?

^ hand and pin reminds me of this movie hahaha

anyone had Tawd at Lady Luck in Langley do any work?

my cousin has had alot done by him and it all looks good (except for one but i think he was working off a sketch from someone else), just wanted to hear if anyone has had him personally or see his work?

whatever you do, stay away from floating world
3 of my buddies got work there and every one said they regret it.
had to be re touched several times and all of them said they shoulda gone somewhere else.

General advice would be to avoid bargain shopping when getting tattoos. Alot of the people I know went to floating world cause it's cheaper.

Tawd is pretty good.

Donovan is the man there tho. If you want anything black and grey. He does some amazing portrait work as well.

I really want to get some Tebori work as well.

I want to see Horitomo down in San Jose. He was trained by the great Horiyoshi III.
I heard his wait list is like 2-3 years tho!

I just got some color in my sleeve @ Blackwater.


Kamui712 - I wouldnt go to a realy high end artist, but I also wouldnt go to just anyone.

Funhouse tattoo could get you in within a month I expect they are very good

as well as Tattoo Union, Eastside Tattoo Parlour, Fat City tattoo, Or even Jesse at Blackwater could prob get you in on a cancelation.

Starting on my left ribs/chest next. Bodysuit or Bust!

SkinnyPup that's really nice

Been through the thread and there's some really nice stuff in here. I'm going to be getting a large tattoo at some point when I save up (something I'm not going to cheap out on) and figure out wtf I want).

Question is, what's the deal if you get cut or get road rash, whatever on your tattoo. I've got a fair amount of scars and tend to scrape myself up from time to time. Just wondering what the general concensus is on this.

Scars over tattoo's wreck the tattoo. Tattooing over some scars is hard as scar tissue tends not to take ink well and can bleed into the surrounding tissue.

Berz out.

:fuckyea:


don't need those machine tattoo's.

If you are looking to get tattoo work over existing scar/s then you should find a really could tattoo artist. A lot of guys may not want to tattoo you. I believe some types of scar tissue can not be tattooed very well.

As far as damaging existing work, It all depends how deep the skin is damaged. I have been cut over tattoo work and had no noticeable issues. But if you are a motorcycle rider who is prone to road rash then it might be a different story lol.

I wouldn't let that stop your decision of getting tattooed tho.

does anyone know of any competent traditional japanese style tattoo artists located in vancouver with a waiting list of about 2 months?

thanks.

that would be a paradox
