sup doggs it wasn't too bloody today so I went ahead and took a picture http://juliemandrews.com/camwhore/tattooFinished.jpg so glad it's finally done http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y58/Goatmon/54.gif

that's a nice job, Wam

thanks dru! I think I'm gonna call it done; he didn't do the middles, but the only color we could really come up with for them was yellow and I'm none too crazy about yellow and my skin is pale enough that they look white anyway good choice, yellow would probably look bad like you had jaundice or something

thanks futore goatmon I don't know what you're trying to say here druhim yes that's what I thought as well, but I mean IGOR MORTIS did a really good job with the rest of it so I was inclined to trust his opinion -- he had to stop, however, because he was recovering from an arm injury and couldn't go much more than an hour and a half with me so I have a tentative appointment for next wednesday, but I think I'm just gonna leave it as is

if you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost you total? before tip that is

hurgh let's see uhhh it cost a little over $1100 total, and I think about $200 of that was tip -- so yeah about $900

I love the tat WaM.

I did, to some extent, but mine was a shitty sketch -- he drew it up freehand and it was perfect, exactly what I wanted

hurgh let's see uhhh it cost a little over $1100 total, and I think about $200 of that was tip -- so yeah about $900 Ok what I have in mind would probably run $3-5k then as a rough estimate but I'm not in a rush edit: oh, $900 for the work and that tat does have a lot of detail maybe it'd be more like $2-4k

I love the tat WaM. thanks! I'm super pleased with it; anyone in the oregon area who's looking for a really good tattoo artist oughtta look up IGOR MORTIS at tigerlily in portland

Wam, that is a really awesome tattoo. That had to hurt like a bitch though.

reporting wam for naked I think I see some side boob.

And now it's creepy.

I love the octopus idea -- octopuses and owls make for neat tattoos

I cannot imagine myself ever getting a tattoo from a parlor/artist that I haven't heard numerous reports to the positive of there must be a site like ratemyprofessor.com for tattoo artists, it's just way too important to fuck around with

Wam, that is a really awesome tattoo. That had to hurt like a bitch though. of the 7 or 8 hours I sat for it, I'd say only about 2 hours were totally unbearably awful the outline was nothin', and the flowers hurt but I developed a breathing technique that helped the branch was okay for half of it, then the rest just fucking murdered me -- stale was giggling at me the whole time but I was so miserable

Fuck, now I want to get a nice tattoo on my arm, and really connect it with the other piece and make it look nice. Not trendy, not cliche, but nice. I want a nice artistic tattoo.
