so been thinking of more tattoo ideas, I've thought of having the Finnish coat of arms Lion done before and after seeing it the way it's done on Niemi's mask here i really like this outlined style its done in:

was thinking perhaps over a shoulder, not sure of the size though

do you guys think a style similar to Niemi's with the outline look would translate into a tattoo?

Those aren't really styles.. one is handwriting - anyone can do that. The other is the most common tattoo seen since the tribal arm bad. Anyone can do that too.

Go to any competent walk-in artist - I guarantee they will be familiar with the flock of birds design. Some artists may be too snobby to do it, but most will be happy to make a quick buck and as long as they don't suck you'll get what you want.

Appointment with Jesse is almost here. Chest piece going down June 5th. Been over a year since my first tattoo. Question though never gotten a tattoo where hairs grow more aka my chest. I'm not a hairy person but I'm guessing I should come with my chest clean shaved already?

I would. The razor they usually use are cheap crap, and who knows what kind of lube they'll use (for my arms it was always the alcohol water). In a way that is almost as uncomfortable as the tattooing itself

No don't shave , u may cut yourself and then won't be able to get tattooed!.. Let them do it.

If you shave with something like a Shick or a Gillette you won't cut yourself... unless you are doing something really wrong with it :fuckthatshit:

I got like no hair on my chest. The longest hairs maybe like a inch. When I got the inside of my bi tattoo'd he quickly shaved it but there was like no hair at all haha. Maybe ill shave a week or 2 before, see what's up I guess.

I wouldn't shave a week or two before, you'll have a bunch of stubble that will make it even harder to shave again... at least I assume that! maybe not

Lol...... Ill just leave it I guess. I've never shaved my chest before so he'll be the first almost during 23 hahaha

u could always try that nair body hair removal cream. just read the instructions carefully and it should work like a charm. an inch long chest hair seems pretty damn long... well maybe because im asian lol

maybe phone them and ask? or if you're worried about possible issues with razors/cuts etc, wax it a couple days before.

LOL. You are over thinking this shaving thing.....
Just shave your chest with any razor that isn't 6 years old and rusty and you aren't going to cut yourself.

Let the tattoo artist shave you. Its that simple.

I will shave you.. Gotta buy me a drink first!!...lol

i'm new to all of this. how long does it usually take for an artist like horiryu/jesse/jeff to complete a back piece. can anybody give me an estimate?

are there any outstanding female artists out there to do traditional/non-traditional asian?

depends on how detailed your back piece will be... txt me ntran ill try to give an idea lol

My second try for booking couple appointments with Steve Moore, wish me luck
Posted via RS Mobile

To give you a comparison, I'm about 35 hours or so into my back piece with about 8 or so more to go. Full color, full back with 1/4 turtle back(butt cheeks).

Damn appointments coming up soon. Any advice for a possible 5 hour tattoo? First one was around 2 then after was like 1.5.....
