Tattoos

^ & ^^ Saweeeet.

Not so sure about the Hide Ichibay one. I found myself performing almost the exact same contortion just to make sense of the image.

I really want some work from Peter Lagergren. Might work it around a visit to the folks in Denmark... His books are probably closed though

Anyone ever been here? Came across this guy's work in a magazine. I like that style.

This.

The figure is contorted to make a skull right?

Think I'd rather just a good copy of a proper Hokusai piece.

Not been to the parlour but have a seen a fair bit of Maths work and it's top drawer. Was trying to get a smaller piece done by him when he was at Self Sacrifice but he left and I went somewhere else.

Yes.

Am I really the only thinking that looks fucking retarded?

Came across raincitytattoo.co.uk and this piece of work via instagram the other day, stunning.

Skunkworks: Didn't want to be so blunt when I commented on it but yes, I too think it looks retarded.

rain city is in manchester and is my mate dan morris and his mates gre hale and danny rossiter with a few other artists ganging up. new studio but old cats on the machines.

Do you know of any other artists doing a similar style ??

Went to TFB today for a consultation with Andrea Furci - He has a cancellation on Sunday (convenient!) so is starting on my arm then. Second tattoo and second by Furci. Great guy and I adore his work.

Maybe not exactly what I'd have but I quite like it so each to their own I say.

The fact I like it might not really mean much since I want some intentionally bad tattoos doing. Actually thinking about buying a gun off eBay and letting my friends have at my arm.

^ sarcastic surely

I don't know.

Sometimes there's something appealing about very basic tattoos. There was some ultimate fighting film about two brothers and one had the comedy and tragedy faces done in a fairly shit simple style. Looked good tho.

The one up there does remind me of some sort of white-power prison montage.

At the end of the day tattoos are personal. The Myke Chambers wolf is brilliantly exicuted, but to me the idea of having a madly drolling savage wolf on your chest that'll give your kids nightmares is also odd.

He named a couple inspirational artists in an interview he did in Skindeep, can't find it online will have a rummage at home for you. If I remember they were both Paris based and had a Banksy-esque (for lack of a better word) theme to their work.

Buena Vista tattoo in Germany could throw together something incredible and of a similar ilk as well I'm sure.

Yes.

Blood from the wolf's mouth should be dripping down all the same way surely?

Other than that, I'd do it.

Yep. First thing I thought was that film Romper Stomper

Me too. Which is harsh as I don't think there's anything that's in and of itself from the far right.

But then that's the thing with tattoos - they maybe personal, but ultimately are displays of one sort or another. So there's no accounting for how people see them. I originally planned for a machete to be inc in mine, but left it out as I didnt want it to be see as violent or aggressive. Sure some would say who cares what other people think, but to me it mattered that it was likely to be misinterpreted. #csb

And the warrior was film I was thinking of - tattoos not quite as unrefined as I thought

No-one will ever accuse you of aggression if you have a tattoo of a machete-wielding my little pony.

any recommendations for somewhere good and fairly cheap for tattoo removal?

I'll do it for a bag of frazzles

bring your own cheese grater though
