I marked my friend with a partners name against my wishes a few months ago. Today we decided to take his skin back. I’m really proud of this for the first session.

  1. What does her name on the wing of a bird represent? I could never understand how someone could be so confident to tattoo a name it will most likely go bad

  3. He should have just added a word above it, like Cork or Kinsale, or even Vauxhall (or whatever car maker was responsible for that much derided Marina car)

  4. I’ve a lot of friends who are tattoo artists, and awkardly or not the question is raised by some dunce about, “What is the worst tattoo you’ve ever done?”

    No artist wants to shit on work so they think of stories about bad clients, making a fuss and being unreasonable.

    Until one gal told the story of a boy who came in wanting a rampant puma launching from his jocks.

    It would be mid riff of the beast at the waist line, bottom claws down by the gouch, popping off just of the naval.

    Well anyway, it was a one session job. Stencil applied. Boyo in the chair and he’s unable to brook the discomfort. So he walks out half way thru with a promise to come back but never shows up again.

    “So he gets half a panther, not the worst.” I say.

    “Yeah,” Said the artist, “But I started from the bottom.”

    Dude has got hind legs, a tail, and very strange cover story.

  14. Clean lines but the anatomy of the eagle is a bit off. It’s like it has no body with the legs that close up under the wings. Bit of a shame.
