Learn to tattoo imo. It'll sort that career issue out too

For serial, though, they is only going to change it to make it work better with your body/skin. If they are halfway good, they'll explain any differences and you'll be able to see for yourself. You gots to trust that they know their art as well as you know yours

Gonna be getting a star tatt very soon in memory of my lost friend. That'll make 2 commemorative tatts. Hopefully I won't be getting inked again for a long long time after this one.

Someone I went to school with put up this pic of her tatt on facebook. I haven't seen her since high school, and this is a reminder of why:

WTF!!!!!!!!

I couldn't bring myself to comment on them. There's no way I could lie and say it looked good. One of the most horrid designs i've ever seen, poorly placed, and the actual inking is just woeful.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:06 pm

the perspective is all wrong.

the green things look like strange animals and the petals conjure sparse purple pubic hair.

you could tell her that?

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 5:10 pm

GK - you will be happy to know i have thought long about this, and you are right, i should book into a proper tattoo artist type dude and just do the waiting rather than the spontaneous.

so recommend away, was it Tattoo Magic that was good? and who from there?

i want to fix up a tatt if that makes a diff?

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 5:25 pm

hi lady...

tattoo majick is good but my loyalties lie with Eternal Instinct on St Georges Rd in Northcote.

All of the artists there are good, but Craig Deuce is my guy.

What are you covering and what kind of thing do you want? I may be able to reccommend someone specific...
I think its best if you go in there and spend some time looking through the folios, then pick the artist you think will 'get' the idea of what you want best. Ask for Craig and tell him I sent you, then you can chat about who might be best if its not him.

cover ups are a head fuck, no doubt about it, but they can be done well, i think mine worked out great.

good luck lady! excited for you...

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 1:23 pm

okay cool, will give em a call.

its a tattoo of a lizard which i wanted and in the spot, but the actual design and the dude who did it was not very good. i want to make it all black and thinner, and then do shading that looks like the lizard is lying in sand (sort of). so shade from black to grey to white all around the lizard.

does that make sense?

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 1:32 pm

yup, makes sense...

depending on what you are covering though!
pm me a photo of it now mebbe?
def reccommend those guys tho...

edit - you say you want it thinner, but the whole thing will have to be bigger to cover up, then the actual legs and stuff can be thinner than your current design...right?

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 2:02 pm

don't have a pic handy i'm afraid

the overall thing will be bigger than it currently is, just want to make the actual lizard thinner with the shading around it. i hope they can do eet, cos that would be well sweetness

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 2:04 pm

doesnt sound too hard tbh...

go for it!!!

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 2:06 pm

Good to hear!

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 2:10 pm

just checking out their site, that Giovanni dude is pretty darn good. What thee maketh of him GK?

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 2:13 pm

He owns the shop - he is fucking amazing. Specialises in jap stuff.

but tbh youll be waiting over a year to see him, and that is even if he would do a cover up, i dont know.

He inks Pink when she comes to town, guy has mad skills.

I promise any of the artists there will do it justice lady, just go in and chat to em.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 2:58 pm

Crazy! mans got talent indeed!

coolios!

just called and they are shut, have to wait til Wednesday to call again, dang it, cited now and want to make appointment

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Wed Aug 12, 2009 6:34 pm

booked in for consult. WOOT!!! cited!

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 2:46 pm

thanks again GK, went and saw Deuce on the weekend. Really nice dude! Said he has to do your shoulder piece thingy.

reckons mine is doable he is just working out the best way and is going to draw it up and see what i think. sweet as...

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 4:12 pm

nice one lady! he is a real nice guy, mad skills with both spray paint and ink gun.

what does he have to do to my shoulder? um? hehehe he loves inflicting pain on me.

hope he makes it better than you have even imagined it, he designed my lower leg ink, did 3 awesome designs, and its hands down my favorite one ever.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 5:03 pm

yeah very nice dude indeed!

ummm didn't you want to re-work your shoulder tatt? that is what i thought he was talking about anyways.

Me too! he understood the babble of me trying to describe what i wanted which was good! haha

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 5:07 pm

wierd, he did my shoulder a month ago, perhaps he meant he wants me to go in so he can photograph it.

im not ready for more yet, needs more cashola, and ideas, and urge for pain (around every six months hehe)

fingers crossed for you liz!

that is fricken weird

the coffee dude i go to in the morning has THE sickest tatt i think i have ever seen. well actually i cannot see the whole design as part of it is under his shirt, but the work is amazing!!! asked where he went to get it done.....Perth. dammit!

still waiting on Deuce to call me back about my tatt. getting excited, want to see what he has come up with...

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 12:44 pm

that armchair one is sick, and bloody well executed

i guess you get tattoos of things you like or have meaning. this guy REALLY likes his chair and foot stool so much so he wanted to get it tattooed on his arm.

now thats good chair

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 1:14 pm

yeah whatever floats yer boat really, dun necessarily have to have meaning

i always wanted japanese stuff coz i reckon when done well it looks dope. now i'm equally attracted to it for its symbolism/storytelling aspects as well

fucking lol at that dot to dot one, love it

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 4:19 pm

i read about the guy with the chair tattoo, it was designed by a seminal furniture designer in the 60's, all that bahaus kind of stuff...
he said he loved the lines of the chair so much, he thought it was the essence of perfect design, so why not get it inked?

its been done really well...

i saw ink the other day that made me want cleanskin again it was so amazing.
a friend of mine is testing the peramiters of what can be done, and i have to say, i was speechless.
his designs are incredibly intricate, multicoloured, topographical maps with all the tiny lines and colours and large pictures of beautifully shaded bugs and flies that live in the region over the top.
a woman makes and sells the art he is using at rose st art markets, and he and his tattooist, have created ink the likes of which i have never seen before.
so detialed, so beautiful, they are using needles of a thinner gage than anyone has ever used in the western world that they know of.
and so different to anything i have ever seen. and every tattoo shop he went to said 'it cant be done'.

my perception of good body art has totally changed since seeing his arm the other day. amazement.
