Now that's some toy/Balzac commitment right there! Looks really great too. Third one standing in the black waves looks so ominous, like he's stepping out of the ocean into your nightmares.
Ruthless Ruthie from Artistic Element 2 did this on my last July... Anybody reccomend someone that's amazing at traditional Japanese in Cali? I'm ready to start with my koi and work its way up to and through dragons gate.
^^ there's state of grace, up in san jose... those guys are top notch, especially horitomo and taki. (@stateofgracetattoo)
So, quick opinion question... How long do you think you should be a fan of a band before you consider getting their emblem tattoo'd on you?
Depends on the band/artist really. Then again I have a Power Puff Girl tattooed on my arm. Then again that tattoo is 16 years old. In other words I have no place telling anyone what they should/shouldn't be getting tattooed on them.
Waiting until they break up is a solid move, so you are guaranteed they won't get crappy. I can't say I have lived by this rule though.
Yep. Got my back finished this past October by Valerie Vargas. Older piece on the upper right shoulder was done by my father in 1984; my first tattoo. Back by Valerie Vargas by Doug Hardy, on Flickr
Oh and old back and forth but yes it was Michael "Rollo" Malone who did that Godzilla bodysuit in the 80s. It was finished in 93 if I recall correctly.
Yo @stinkupuss Slowly chipping away, probably 2 more sessions to go. Brown in wings, red skin, yaddayadda
