Off Topic but worth a shot

Looking for a drawing done for a tattoo idea i have, happy to pay some coin for services rendered.

Even if you know someone, relative or friend (NO UNCLES) that are good you could recommend.

 

I have always asked the tattoo artist to draw the design based on my ideas themselves, it's a good way to sort out their style and skill and it makes the tattoo more personal to bother the artist and me. Of course here in NYC there are some great artists and studios to choose from. Either it's a good way to get a sense of their work outside of their portfolio.

 

Have done in the past Sergio would usually consult a few times before its sorted. Would like to get one whilst abroad in a few weeks and like to give the visual idea as could be pressed for time. Think having a basic picture of what i am after might be better to send when booking appointment

 

You're right. It willf

 

I say get a Zenith symbol. You'll quickly find out who is and isn't a watch nut.

 

Don't know about drawing artists, but I've seen a couple of bullshIt artists on here.


Have fun over there mate and show us the tatt when you get back.

 

When I was a child my hero was my maternal grandfather. He had sailed the seven seas and rounded the Horn with merchant sailing ships many times. He had tattoos all over his arms. It was like a history book - he pointed at a tattoo and told a story - "this one is from Shanghai when we..., and this one I got after we were ship wrecked outside Halifax...". And so on. It was wonderful. I swore I would get tattoos when I got older.

Many years later (in the eighties) I was in Shanghai and it was time. I had decided not to get the tattoo in Sweden as it would not be as "manly" to tell stories of it to children later... Shanghai it had to be.

I had decided on an oriental dragon clawing and clinging to my shoulder/deltoid. Went to a tattoo parlor and booked a time. Went back the day after. The artist was yellow... Not in an Asian way (is that politically OK to say?)... He had hepatitis. I Fled. I never got a tattoo and then I got too old.

Here is a picture of my grandfather (in the middle). Born in 1898. He later owned his own large ships and also became a boat builder of some local fame. The picture does not show any tattoos but they are there.

 

Cool story!
Needs more dragons. [emoji15]

 

That's my Dragon, He's getting a little rusty though.

 

Wow! I had my mind set on something 10x10 cm! I was going for an hour or two. Not two weeks...

 

What's wrong with a squirrel? You could get a Recycling Omega Squirrel!

 

He certainly looks the part - sailor through and through!

 

Still chuckle every time i see this on my computer when i put it on your bling thread

Is going to be a sea creature !?

 

You might want to contact this guy he has some classy ink on show

 

Holy smokes your grandpa had forearms like Popeye (the sailor man).

Men are bigger today (but, I'm convinced had much stronger hands back then).

 

And backs...no sitting in front of a computer for 10 hours a day.
