Eh I pretty much just told him zombie style...kinda looks like eddy....not what I was going for but they guy said that's what he grew up drawing so it came natural....they guy is great with color though...when I get home ill throw up some of his other work
Finally scheduled for a tattoo on December 15th. Will finally be a legal tattoo at a shop. Getting my OF shit covered up wit a purple rose and owl hybrid. Purple rose is for my Mom because she always wanted to get a rose tatted but was too scared lmao. So it's my idea of a Mom tattoo without doing it the usual/generic/corny way. Owl is simple. They're typically solitary animals (Loners) and nocturnal. I have major insomnia and barely sleep. That's something I've documented quite often in my music.
Yea. Young and dumb. But oh well. I learn through experience, not people telling me they know what's best for me. At least it's only 1 I regret doe. I have no problems wit the other ones other than wanting them touched up.
The owner of the shop is technically a better artist than who I picked, but she pulls off the vibrant popping art style way better, which are my favorite kind of tattoos. I been looking all over the internet for a good local artist that does that style, and all I could find was big name dudes who are booked for months and charge thousands. I quite literally just tripped upon this shop and saw her work and knew I had to stop in and possibly schedule something. Ended up doing so today. Prices ain't too bad, the outline is gonna be $300-$400, then I'll have to go in for a few more sessions after that for coloring and shading.
Owner laughed his ass off at the OF tattoo lmao. He said "Without being too harsh, I'm just extremely glad you came in here for a cover-up. That shit hurts my heart.". )
I honestly also feel like her line work and coloring make some of her pieces look like John Baizley's shit (SkeletonWitch, Kylesa, Darkest Hour, Etc.) which is another art style I fucking love. For instance:
You've matured some if you can admit your faults. I tried to deter you because of exactly what you said young and dumb. I knew had I got a couple of pieces I wanted even at 18 I would hate them now. I'm glad I didn't get them and waited. I usually take a long time deciding what I want. I'm turning my nocturnal tattoo into a half sleeve next year at some point.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
