but why tribal flash art ? shit looked cool in a book yo
last i knew, flash art was what you would pick off of a wall.
also, last i checked, i've never seen any flash art have an eagle eating a snake.
dont let her do it , I worked at madd inks tattoo for 3 years,
this is a pic of madd inks:
yeah, never would i get a tattoo in a place that looks like that. nor, would i take the opinion of an artist that works in a shop that looks so sketchy.
and spend the most money you possibly can,
not always the best method. just bc they are the most expensive doesnt mean they are the best.
gave him a google pic of the example and let him do his thing. It took less than 1 hour to draw up and approve and got it schedule for 1 week from that day.
so, he designed a piece based off of something that you liked from elsewhere?
yeah, that doesnt sound like flash to me.
just bc its tribal style, doesnt mean its flash.
He was the first person to tell me what he does, and not that he does everything.
Oh you want that? I can do that, oh you like that style? I can do that, oh you like that other style? yup I can do that too!
this is the mother of all truths.
i have seen plenty of
good work come out of those kinds of shops, but never anything GREAT.
there was a shop near me that was like that. i asked what style each artist did, and the reply was "all of our artists are great at every style"
bullshit. and their work backed up the bullshit reply. nothing great. ever.
jeffie was asking how many big pieces do you have, you may have a sleeve now, but all of yours looks like it eventually turned into a sleeve from a bunch of single session tattoos getting close together from lack of space. thats not quite what he meant, but dont know how else to explain it to you.
its stupid how many new artist out there are totally bias on the style of tattoos they will only do, like people would come in looking for a job on the regular, like "I only do traditional style tattoos" , like bitch get some skill and come back when your a good all around artist, turning down tattoos period because they arent your personal style is turning down money lol
those kinds of artists arent turning down money, they are turning somebody away that they know they wont be able to give 100%.
every single person an artist puts ink on, is now part of that artists portfolio, they are a walking billboard for that artist. any real artist, knows what they can and cannot do, and they know what they do great, and they do that. then they get even better at that. it becomes theirs. you want to be a great artist, you have to find your style, and excel at it until you are the name that first comes up when people start talking about that style.
its called taking absolute pride in what you do, versus just doing something you like ok to make a buck.
anything else, and you are just another shitty know it all bullshitter that claims to be great at everything and excels at nothing. ever,
some people are great at painting flowers, but cant paint faces for shit, no matter how much they try. some are excellent at abstract, but not so hot at realism. everybody has their own master style.
thing about realizm tattoos are, they look good before they heal, u never see them after they heal lol because they dont look realistic anymore, 2 anything you have that many sessions in is going too have minor scarring, 3 over time all tattoos semi blend together
you have obviously never seen any good realism tattoos.
i have seen plenty that are old, and they still look great.
like all tattoos, they require touching up and maintenance, but im willing to bet any that you have seen after healed were 1: not that good to begin with; and 2: not properly cared for. i know a ton of people that had great looking tattoos until they spent every summer out in the sun with no sunblock or shirt on. now those look like faded shit.
im glad ive never met you in real life, i picture you being that shit head tattoo guy (you sir, are no artist. i would never put you into that classification) that puts down every single tat that you come across that you know you or a buddy didnt do. i see you as a a guy that would poke fun at a potential client when they walked into your shop with a piece that they loved bc you felt it was too overdone, or cliche, or just plain stupid looking.
you sincerely annoy the absolute shit out of me, and i cannot wait until you, like all the other annoying trolling asshats before you, finally lose interest in this place and fuck off.
