my mate just got a full sleeve and chest plate done there, looks fucking amazing. Real clean patterns too, good shading

if you have the money wait and go over to Japan, its something that will be with you for the rest of your life may as well make it an experience.

charlie, no i didnt see jap tatt girl at rainbow, or not that i noticed. but i did spend a lot of time perving on peoples ink, best collection id seen for ages at that party!!!

rainbow is one of the places im really proud to have as much ink as i do, its like badges of honor and different designs become your personality, people come up to me and go 'arrow girl, I remember you!"from this place or that party, often from years and years ago.
in the city, sometimes i question the fact that i have so many, cos everyone is grey grey suits and cotton on clothes. but out there, its different.

i digress.

aroes > your right, definatly frowned upon by much of jap culture. still pretty much the domain of yakuza in japan, its only foreigners who get inked in japan apart from them! many bathhouses wont let you in if you have ink, or you must bathe alone, away from everyones eyes. full on.

STILL collecting images for my arm.
someone give me an artist who does any specialties like this >
art deco/nature/arrows/organic/monochrome

im at the point where ill pay someone loads just for the design. any suggestions appreciated!

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 1:41 pm

they could prob point you in the right direction
lotsa peeps with strange crop circl-ish symbols/flowers and blossoms/trees

my mate's DAD! just got this tattoo http://www.flickr.com/photos/36022659@N02/

pretty sweet for a dad to get i reckon.

He's doing it cos he's jumping out of a plane for a publicity stunt for his work.
I guess he's ticking off his bucket list in case something goes wrong....

hmmmmm

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Thu May 07, 2009 4:16 pm

and this one - funny.

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Thu May 07, 2009 4:25 pm

stuff on his back looks fukn cool, wouldn't mind seeing a better photo

with what method do they apply tattoos in that part of the world?

ulyssian · Post by **ulyssian** » Thu May 07, 2009 5:01 pm

In the process, a picture is first drawn using common writing utensils. Then, it is slowly pricked with a needle until it bleeds. The needle contains ink made out of tree sap. After it heals, a tattoo is visible.

good lord... ouch!!!!

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Thu May 07, 2009 5:03 pm

sounds okay to me! modern guns would be a whole lot more traumatic i think...?

i couldnt find many pics really, but damn, i cant wait to see em in the flesh! (or on, as it were)

I don't the other one does though, she just started getting her piece done.

It's more to the side though but said it hurt like a bitch around the side and even more so where it comes onto the stomach a little bit, hurt heaps more there than on the ribs even. She can explain better on sat though, assuming I shall see you.

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 3:45 pm

that is frikkin hilarious.

a) sif you would FALL ASLEEP while having your face inked. she must be a zen master like nobody ive ever encountered.
b) suck it up bitch, if you want to look like Kat von D, its gonna take a whole lot more than dem stars.

borneo - one of the dudes we were travelling with got his whole arm done (not traditional) like woodgrain, nice concept, but horrible execution. i dont care how cheap they are, DONT get inked in some asian country guys, unless you have a direct rec from someone.

in other news - im getting inked in two weeks, first time in almost 4 years, and first time art deco, not arrows, exciting!

I kinda feel sorry for the tattooist, cos he was painted to be a jerk, but now he has got loads of publicity, and hes a unique looker as well, so its prolly been good for business!

shes a dick. i hope the stars remind her of that fact every day.

a week or so till more ink for kitty! weeeeeeeeeeee excited!

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 3:38 pm

as in, best examples or best dudes to ink one?

you want a portrait of yourself on ya, like Steve O?

menace · Post by **menace** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 3:49 pm

lol ...i mean ... best dude 2 ink one ....and not self portrait ...just portrait

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 3:54 pm

hrmmmm i havent seen that many from locals tbh...

ze europeans seem to be good at portraits/mechanical/B&W realistic stuff...

i think you might want to pick a few of the good shops in melbs and hunt through their galleries online,
see if you can find someone that way, then call em up and feel it out over the phone...thats what i'd do anyhow..

im looking for an artist that does art deco/neuvo/buildings/architecture next and it is seeming hard!

most artists will tell you they can do anything, but its not true!!

I hear Marshall at Third Eye Tattoo in Fitzroy is good for portrait work. No idea myself, but prolly worth a look

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:42 pm

menace - i got some tips for you on the portrait thing.
apparently sarah i think her name is at dynamic tattoo in richmond is dope, and there is a guy at tattoo magic on gertrude too,
fuck i dont know his name tho!

enak · Post by **enak** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 11:32 am

That's rad. How many hours under the pins? And how much (if not rude to ask)?

ghetto kitty · Post by **ghetto kitty** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 12:10 pm

heh thanks enak, i love it.

it took around four hours, and was $700. not rude, its for life, so i dont care how much it costs.
i spend $100 without blinking every time i go out, so in the grand scheme of things, its nothing.
