The Tattoo Thread

You did not want the heart in like in the first pic you posted? I thought that was quite a nice touch

I did, I thought it was there. I think he made the one eye a heart

One of the paw prints was a heart too

Yes, in red ink

I did ask him to do the lowest one as a heart. Here's the trace - and it was black only for this event

Ahh OK, let's check again when the bandage is off...

A thought occurred to me last night-
This is basically the only place where we can get together and talk and show and tell about ink.
Aren't there any dedicated tat forums in SA? I imagined there'd be.

Can anybody provide any recommendations in the Johannesburg area?

I am aware that the type of tattoo you want influences the type of artist you should look for, so perhaps a shop that has artists that cover a variety of styles I can go and speak to.

 

[ArtyLoop]

Wow, what a day...
For some reason, it hurt. Anyway, no pain, no gain...


We ran out of time, so we didn't get to the other stuff, we barely made it with this guy... (will post better pics later)

What I had done and a full shot. Didnt get to finish my full sleeve, still some space at the bottom. Munky had to rush off to the hospital to be with his sick kid.

Dayum that's cool.

I checked out Munky on their website, what a cool dude, pretty much the same vibe as my artist.

He's got a wicked sense of humour too. Love sitting listening to him and Thys talk kak when I'm there
