My most treasured piece. My BF Ben Ellison - completely self-taught & only a year tattooing - is the artist (http://spaces. freehand, he doodled on my back & we inked that day. I didn't want black outline so the custom colours would pop against the black & greywash. For only 1 year in the industry, what do you think?
This is my first tattoo. Throughout my life the one constant I've had is my faith and this tattoo is a symbol of that which I couldn't live without. Thanks go to Derek Hendrickson at Renaissance Tattoo for putting this together for me.
The tattoo was inspired by the Anime film "Ghost in the Shell" It consists of an image of the main character taken from the graphic novel ( the top figure) merged with a second image of the same character taken from the DVD cover. The cityscape and wirework are all freehand and designed by the artist

So I couldn't decide if I should do shade or color for this tat so I ended up doing a lil of both. I still have to figure out what to do for backround. If you have any other tips or suggestions feel free to leave me a comment. Done by Liz at Don's Nickel City in Buffalo
My name is Chris, this is a picture of my son. It was taken 2 years ago and was done in Aurora, Ont, Canada. The Tattoo parlor is called Fat Cat tattoo. I was extremely happy with the results and of course looks so much better in real life.
Idea taken from a shirt design by Jinxed Clothing. I own Suicide Clothing so it fit me. It is just one peice of work that makes up an entire sleeve today.
I would just like to know if i should add anything to make it look complete,some people have suggested a tribal background, what would you suggest?

I'm shooter and i got this tattoo in memory of my grandmother who is the greatest strongest person that ever walked this planet. She passed away on november 3 2006 of cancer. Do you guys like it??
Basically, it's Betty Boop in the dress and stance of the famous "blowing vent" pose of Marolyn Manroe. it great, it's on my lower back and my pants cover up to her neck, then when people ask "is that a tattoo of Betty Boop on your back?" (duh) then I show them the rest and they are blown away, it's great.it only took 5 years to decide on
National symbol of the "Isle of Man". The symbol is entitled the 3 legs of man. The words surrounding the picture mean "whichever way it is thrown, it will stand". A tribute to the small country where my ancestors originate.
C on this one or ideas for the next one?
I'm Jay, i got a Tribal tat on my back and i was wondering your guys thoughts on it, if it looks good and if anyone could give me some ideas on adding more to it and where?
Joe. This is my first tattoo. I got it like four weeks ago. its a black and grey tattoo. How do u think it looks? It took about an hour and forty minutes to do. i really like the shading on it. And the head is facing the opposite direction it normally is because its on my right shoulder and it wouldnt look right if it was facing towards the back.
Got this tattoo to remind me of my godmother after she passed away. She was a strong person that was always helping me to grow as a person. Wondering if I should get some clouds looking down on the tree to show her looking donw on me as i continue to grow. What do you think?
Sup its doug again, this is another tattoo i have from Tattoo Don, this is a deer skull with each one of my grandfathers intials on each side, both of my grandfathers started me in hunting when i was little and am still a huge hunter
with the help of my dad and eric from h.o.d. we came up with this. i wanted a butterfly but not like everyone one else and i think we got "my dream" tattoo. :)
My names Jack, im 20. this is my first tattoo i got done a few weeks ago. its a phoenix with a crown in the middle. My last name 'Grady' on the crown. the dates 1950 under 1 wing, and 2000 under the other, in memory of my father passing when i was 13 years old from brain cancer. one love. --Grady--
Mike Taylor from Fine Line does all of my tattoos. He's in the Blasdell / Lackawanna area in NY. This was my "newest." Family crest with the actual format and colors. The cracked stone was freehand added on. Turned out pretty damn good if you ask me!
So basically this is a work in progress, ill upload photos as it goes along...it will have demon wings added to it as well, like the bones of wings off a dragon. thats about it
My Father passed away August 2nd, 1998 after a battle with Cancer. I always wanted to get something to remember him by, and I decided on this tattoo.
I went and had it done in two sittings and had the inscription 'My Father Guide Me' in the middle as my inspiration and his bday and day he died.
Let me know what you think.
I'm Dee and i got this cherry blossom tattoo back in May 07.. the technique used here is an airbrushing method where there is no black outline.. it's a bit more freestyle but in a Japaneses water color painting kind of way... What do you think of it..?
My artist was from Tattoo Barber in Toronto, Ontario. His name was Greg Kidd.. Cool Guy..
I'm dave, I got this Support Our Troops decal tattoo'd on my arm a few weeks ago. i started a website where we send free coffee to our soldiers over seas and i've made so many close friends with them so I put this on my arm in honor of our men and women that serve.

These are 2 eyes off of the lateralus album. I had them changed a little though. They were turned horizontal and the eye was made to look more like a real eye. Tell me what you think of it.
it actually says live among the stars in german. Its on my right hip so only very few people see it, and when they do its fun to watch them screw up the pronunciation.
