Tattoos

Is it a case that the new school of design has not earnt it's wings yet? That none of the designs have passed over into 'classic'? I think some of them are lovely graphically, but wouldn't have them etched into my skin

This thread. I'm clearly too old, too uncool. All these tumblr pictures everybody gets turgid over leave me feeling meh. Just cause you can do something, doesn't mean it's a good tattoo. Loads of these pictures are looking like Threadless tees designs.

Not trying to piss on anyone's parade, just really perplexed at a lot of this. There have been nice things in the thread, imo etc, but lately... too flavour of the month. Is anyone actually getting work done in these styles or is it just a 'this is somewhat interesting' thread?

It's all interesting different styles.
Imagine how boring the world would be if everyone had such a narrow minded opinion of things....

Agreed.
It's all completely subjective.

Some of the stuff that gets posted up here isnt always my cup of tea either, but it's good to see what else is out there.

Hey Hoops did you email him? SB, I mean, I sent the deposit but haven't heard back yet.

I am finding it hard to decide on a design.

Absolutely Guys, I love the art, styles, colours, imagery, but as you say DK, there`s lots I wouldnt dream of having inked on myself, but appreciate none the less, really Feeling Jesse Smith & Tanae Whitfields work at the moment

sorry I didn't get back to your PM!

Haven't emailed him yet... Not totally sure on his stuff yet to be honest. Still thinking. I might email him to see how many hours he can offer.
will decide over the weekend I think.

wuuut, you're not sure on his stuff? as in, you have doubts of the quality or you're not sure you like his style?

oh yeah sorry, did see your message. my advice would be to go for it! steve is a great guy and in my opinion right up there with the best of them. some of his best work is shown in the episode of Gypsy Gentleman with him and Tony Hundahl The Gypsy Gentleman - Episode 02: Austin, Texas on Vimeo

I'll see if I can dig out a photo of my tattoo, but it might be on my laptop at home

I sent him the deposit already. I need advice on what to choose. I think that with Valerie I didn't choose the design as well as I could have done. I loved the documentary

anyone point me in right direction for decent old school dagger/cutlass through rose designs? can't seem to see many good monochrome/black designs

wuuut, you're not sure on his stuff? as in, you have doubts of the quality or you're not sure you like his style?

His style.
Tonys kamikaze pilot in that vid is fucking awesome.

Edited link.
Sorry, sometimes proxies trick me.

Christ, this is one of the most annoying things on this forum.

Sorry, but the link was posted before recently. If you'd said "there is a new episode up now" next to it, then I would have investigated.

And, the link you posted went to some site where the first line was something about IP tracking or monitoring, not exactly pleasant to read when looking at stuff in work, so forgive me if I was a little short.
