Tattoos

no I went to someone I saw online who did dot work and asked him and he seemed pretty positive about it, so went with him

I will pluck up courage to share a pic :/

its done now. no need to be embarassed. jus post it and then people can recommend init

I haz A0 print of that spaceman on my bedroom wall. I greatly admire your commitment.

Shit or otherwise we need to see it.

General question, would you go to any old studio for a quick and easy little filler, or are you discerning all the time?

I have a little gap and want to get a 13 in it (on Friday 13th, also will be my 13th tattoo) probably going to pop to a local to work studio in my lunch break to get it.
Problem is i work in Dartford, Kent and i have no experience of local studios/ artists.

100% discerning

Any old studio that's clean and decent for gap filler stuff, some people take tattoos too seriously

I don't see the difference between massive pieces and gap fillers personally, you can squeeze just as much artistry, personality and style into a little banger

Great nice talking to u cheers

PS. the caller was asking what YOU would do, not what everyone should do.

Stop bitchin.
I'd say still have a look about.
You'd be gutted if you go somewhere cheap and easy and they do a shit job.
Guess the artist doesn't need to the the best artist in the world but you want some level of ability surely.

surely EBs experience aswers this?

if in doubt, black it out.

^ precisely!

think it will be a cover up - will post pic later

My whole right arm is a cover up. Its very black, which is fine with me, but a lot of people think its pretty weird.

^^ Think very hard what you'll do, I'm still regretting a cover up on my back, for not getting enough infos on the tattoo artist (typical youth mistake: you want it now, at all costs). On paper it looked great and all, but not close enough to as on skin.

starting to scab/peel a little - Mrs EB has nicknamed him Neil Armsmudge - heh! ideas for progress?

Could the body be enlarged overall to stop the head looking oversized?
Agree he's not done justice but looks like it could be improved without resorting to a blackout.

possibly - how you mean, take the legs and body etc wider out?

Challenger?

I think that's what I mean- build up the left arm up to the neck so it looks more like the original image. Can you play around with a sharpie to try a few attempts at fixing it before getting anything done?
