Got Ink? **DU WARNING**

[PythonWallace]

I am pretty sure you are correct about Inked being off the air, but I guarantee they are still charging an arm and a leg to get tattooed there.

I guess I should have qualified what I said about Kat. I was in the mindset of the CelebReality TV tattoo artists. Sure, there are other amazing portrait artists out there (Tyrell may be the best ever, hands down) doing work that makes Kat look like an apprentice. But how can I resist the urge to get a great portrait tattoo from such a hottie???

I can't argue with any of that I'd probably let Kat tattoo a scrot on me just for the experience

Ben,


My dragon is just off-center towards the outside of my thigh, and it hurt a he**uva lot more than the one on my chest...mainly b/c of the fine outlining for the scales, and the larger areas of coloring. Of the two, I thought the rose on my chest would hurt more, but the flower barely stung.

Draw up your pic, take it to different artists and talk to 'em. Tell 'em about how big and where, and they can give you a really good price quote idea.

Mine were a bday spur-of-the-moment. I had been planning one or two for quite a while, but I was a walk-in. Due to family issues w/his son, I had to return the next day, but he gave me a price quote right then. Both tatts and the extra hole in my ear was $165. The dragon is about 5.5" long, and 3-4" across the widest of the wings. It was one of his patterns that I had modified.

I too like the "Freedom isn't free". I also remember and am touched by the Free/Brave motto too that I've often seen. (But danged if I can remember all of it right now. )

Sorry I havn't replied sooner, I just made a random weekend roadtrip all over texas, so I've been a bit busy putting close to 2k miles on my car since thursday. But yea... I've been toying with the tattoo pretty much non-stop since i posted this picture. For the most part it's a size v. detail debate. Not to mention how I'm gonna incorporate "freedom isn't free" into the tattoo. I'm not really worried about pain, as I have built up quite a tolerance for it. I'm dtill debating as to whether thats a good or bad thing. lol.

Another thing is, that I want to absolutely sold on my tattoo design before I get it, and although I am absolutely in love with a field cross for my "support the troops" tattoo, I have also been considering other designs such as the folded American flag being exchanged hands, an American flag in general, a 21 gun salute, the faceless soldier, or a combination.

Yea I wasnt expecting them to be cheap, I was just hoping that a design such as the one I posted wouldnt bee anymore than $300, so the feedback has been excellent. But if I continue my sketching, I'm sure it'll end up as a $300 tat. lol

Wow! I just read this whole thread, and I am definitely wanting more now! I currently have eleven, but there is plenty of room left for more! I've always liked the Rolling Stones tongue thing, but with his tongue pierced. I want *something* on each hip, not sure yet, and I want my backpiece modified and stretched just a bit. Y'all got some awesome work!!!
