siccostyle Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Talk to your artist and see what kind of ideas they have to blend in some new stuff with your old stuff. I always try to give my guy freedom to do what he thinks is best. Ie I give a basic concept of what I am thinking and where I want it and let hem do what he is good at. Really cant go wrong there. Unless you just let him freehand it which I wouldn't recommend unless you know the guy and he has been doing work on you for years. Most of the time I like to see the basic outline and placement before I commit. edit= blending new stuff with old stuff to make a full piece like a sleeve is hard to do so it is always best to talk with your guy and see what they think. I think when you start placing to many demands on your artist it chokes them and makes it not as fun to do for the artist.

LT.Smoke Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I appreciate the input fellas... My artist is a really good friend that i know and trust his work... He is the guy that took on the task of finishing up my partially started dragon sleeve and I am VERY VERY happy with his work.

optical Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I only got two tatts but what i have found out once i like a design that i think fits my personality i pretty much set my mind on getting it. The only problem i have is location, my current job lets me have tattoos anywhere but my next may not so i avoid places like hands forearms neck. Got pictures?

kbsmoker Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 That's how I do it. I just give Aaron some ideas on what I want and let him do his thing.

JEMT8 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Keep with the theme of meaning. Idk what is is but generic tattoos (stars and flowers blah blah) that people (mostly hipster younger girls) pick with no meaning kinda irk me a little. I don't believe in getting something purely because it looks cool. The first and foremost rule is that it should express you somehow.

Look in the Tattoo section i have an entire thread dedicated to ALL my work bro... Keep with the theme of meaning.

I don't believe in getting something purely because it looks cool. The first and foremost rule is that it should express you somehow. I have never and WILL never get a FAD tattoo...Every piece that i have is original because the artist took a general outline for the idea and free handed the rest of the add ons into it giving it that special touch so no one has a tattoo that is JUST like mine and I love that Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 all my tatts have deep meaning, i have a star, but its been intragrated into other pieces to look original and non fad like, i will be getting a hand grenade, but its very unique and i havent seen anything like it anywhere, i wont show it as i dont want anyone to steal it. the audiomech piece is so original and beyond what most people ever see, i get asked about it sooo much, the meaning behind it is pretty obvious... my tribute to DAT, it has a long ways to go before its finished, i need to go see aaron very soon. the flaming skulls on my right forearm my kids picked out and aaron did his thing, its still unfinished as well the Chaos and mayhem tatts represent a few things, I am mayhem, a lost friend is chaos... they also represent what my life was when i was doing hardcore drugs.. my nautical star that is intregrated into my flaming skulls and chaos tatt represents my father, a Sailor in the us navy. my ladybug, represents another lost friend, that wanted me to have that tatt, its also a good luck charm. my Diablo, pretty much repped the company logo and me, its been my nickname for a quite a long time. the Flames on my upper right arm represent what i do for a living, im a fire sprinkler fitter, the demon within the flames is my tortured soul. i have plans on alot more, all of them have alot of meaning, I am awaiting a drawing from aaron right now of the word FATE with scroll work all around it, for my upper chest and part of my throat, it represents alot, how my girl and i are now together after 15 yrs of knowing we were soulmates and not being able to do anything about it until now (long story) the handgrenade is for some family members that have or are still serving the us military. A dark fairy, will be on my left side of my ribs, it will represent the love hate relationship my mother and i share. i have tons of work to be done, thats a good idea on how i see tatts and what the mean to me, i basically give aaron my thoughts and ideas and let him decide how to piece it all together seeing how i have so many dif ideas. hope that helps give you some ideas, stick with the meaningful tatts bra you can never go wrong that way imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
