A simple black cross? Regardless of design (or lack thereof in this case), youre also paying for line work.

Theres still a difference in a $100 simple black cross and a $40 black cross.

Thanks for the feedback, I spent 100$

Got this done a few months ago on my dads 50th Bday (Friday the 13th)

Need to get some decent pics of my sleeve now that I have finished it as well...

Nice! If you dont mind me asking, how much did that run you?

My artist charges 125 an hour and I think I prob had about 25-30 hours into it, plus I tipped on top if that obviously.

Damn Fong your cousin and his wife are talented those are some ill works

 

[mplsdunk]

Hell yeah! Another muskie tattoo. I have one too. I gotta ask. You live in mn or Wisconsin?

 

[Fong$tarr]

New one by my cousin. The tattoo will lighten up after it heals.

Haha neither, Nebraska, but I do have a bunch of family up in Milwaukee. I need to get up in that area to do some fishing. All my northern fishing has been in northern Nebraska and Canada.

Canada was my next guess. cool tattoo man. Different style than mine.

Thanks, have you posted pics of yours? I know I couldn't find very many Muskie/Pike tattoos when I was researching to get started.

Been a week since starting on my back. Still some scabs left, you guys reckon I'd be able to play a basketball game in a few hours?

 

[mplsdunk]

Bottom of the very first page. I'm still at the same place. I'm finally starting to finish it this week.

 

[Thierry Henry]

Since I see prices were being discussed in recent posts, how much do you guys think this would cost?

I'm positive I'm gonna go through with this and try to get it pretty soon.

That took 25-30 hours?

My chest panel/full arm Japanese sleeve was 16.

Can you throw out some names in the bay area for a Traditional Japanese tattoo? I'm looking to do a 3/4 sleeve. I started doing a little bit of research. I've looked at State of Grace Tattoo and Junii from Diamond Club. What are your opinions on their work?

Thanks

Do you have a particular animal you are doing? Some guys are better at say koi fish then say a dragon. Like if you want a dragon, that dude at Kt Dragon (Tommy) is dope. I met a couple of guys at a tattoo convention that got work from him and it's all quality. Very detailed and his lines looked clean:

This is sick too:

Koi fish, Toby at Humble Beginnings is sick too. My buddy got work by him and again, quality stuff:

Luke Stewart at 7th Son is verse on all. He does things pretty traditional:

Andre Atak for sure and anyone really at Analog Tattoo: http://www.analogtattoo.com

Some guy at BlackHeart does Japanese styles too but I can't really figure who it was. I saw their portfolio in person but I am assuming it is either the 1st or 2nd guy: http://blackhearttattoosf.com/#home

Tried to book an appointment in Australia and the artist said he doesn't feel comfortable taking clients from over seas 

. Really like his work too. Trying to find an artist to start a leg sleeve focus around an Octopus

Either leg or right arm. Havent decided yet. Depends on where I can fit other tats I have in mind for the distant future.
