Why yes, you see I spent the last few years in a russian prison for thieving and wanted a piece to remind me of my time there. Theres absolutely no other meaning behind it, I just wanted to stick with the tradition ya know :pac:

Sarannewrap, I ADORE your cat tattoos!!

Really cool idea and the Victorian style was a brilliant choice, I'm jealous

I love cats myself so got all excited when I saw them
My ex Russian gangsta roots give their seal of approval

Newest session of my white rabbit, first session pic is on the old thread! I love him Credit to the artist for the tattoo and photo :P

White Rabbit

LOVE the detail on this, the hair (Hare? :pac:) looks amazing!

SillyMangoX - that is amazing.

Re: not getting imagery that is significant in other cultures because it is "crass".

1. Tattooing is crass
2. There is a LOT of culture on the planet. You would need several degrees in anthropology to even know a tiny bit of it. Everything is significant to someone.
3. As an American, cultural misappropriation IS my culture.

I can see this thread getting a bit confusing, sillymangox looks brilliant so far who is the artist if you don't mind me asking?

SillyMangoX

It's Christine Tobin in Devils Ink, limerick! She's also done my koi and the paws on my back but the rabbit (who I've named twisp ) is definitely my favourite

I cursed profusely when I seen that pic, it's seriously insane

SillyMangoX

The detail that went into it is something else, an hour was spent on the eye alone yesterday! It looks so much more detailed in person than it does in the picture. Can't wait for it to heal a bit and for all the colours to settle in!

TopBombing

That white rabbit is amazing, looking forward to seeing the finished article!!

Really cool piece @JaMarcus second pic makes a lot more sense. One of those pieces that needs to be seen in the flesh I guess.

It's so solid, haha. And I'm paying for it today

I'm probably gonna go for quite an intricate geometric design

I'm shopping around at the minute, but Iestyn's work over in London is really standing out.

Not great pics, but this is what I got done today. Filled in the gap on the elbow nicely....

Like the Mike Myers tattoo he did for me, this is his own "interpretation" of it, which I quite like....

Feck that's really starting to come together nicely now

Cheers, yeah it is finally. But the pictures don't do it justice. Looks really, really well in the flesh.

Thank you dear. Yeah I'm well chuffed. The guy who's doing it stayed at mine last night. He was saying he's doing Leatherface next and has a great sketch done. He's gonna pencil me in, in about 4 weeks when he gets back from the States.

How many sittings have you had on it so far now PKM?

So far....

On my back -

Alien - 3 sittings (7 hours each)
Chains and hooks pulling flesh - 1 sitting (5 hours)

Right arm horror sleeve -

Mike Myers - 1 sitting (6 hours)
Chucky - 1 sitting (6 hours)
Billy/Jigsaw -1 sitting (6 hours)
Pennywise - 1 sitting (7 hours)
Hannibal Lecter - 1 sitting (5/6 hours)
Jason - 1 sitting (5 hours)
Hellraiser/Freddy - 1 sitting (5 hours) *this was redoing and colouring the originals I had done many years ago so they would blend in with the work he's doing.

So 11 sittings and 67 hours (ish) so far. Still a fair bit to go... :cool:

She's awesome, so so lovely and really skilled. The tattoo is coming out great, I heal super fast so I'm nearly there- I'd say another day and the peeling will be finished. Can't wait to go back in and show her it fully healed, I'm so delighted with it!!!

JaMarcus Hustle

Back in Saturday for the next session on my Tom Brady tattoo. Getting the white added which should really make it pop. Can't wait

Ms. Koi

I'm really happy I'm going with Rachael for it now

Beautiful. The only watercolour tattoo artist I have come across is a Turkish lad, does she have a lot of experience in that style?

There's a lot of artists around who do amazing water colour style tattoo's like Gene Coffey, Ivana Tattoo Art, Lukasz Bam Kaczmarek etc and I've seen a few artists in Ireland dabble with it and do it quite well at that.

It's a style I really like myself.

Could you mention some of the Irish tattoo artists who have done watercolour work you liked?

Have a look at both Sean and Denise in Snakebite who have both done some watercolour works, Rob Mulligan and if you look at JaMarcusHustle piece in the ill show you mine by Kris Barnas thread although not strictly a watercolour piece I think it shows he could quite comfortably do it.

I remember talking to one artist about watercolour style tattoo's and he figured it is quite easy to achieve really and do it well. I think most talented artists could pull it off it's just there are some out there such as Gene Coffey who specialise in it and really that's all they do.
