Members Kenny Powers Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 you recognize those? Usually no one ever does Serious memories there. My mom was obsessed with Stephen King when I was growing up, and had his entire collection. I remember before I could read, just looking at the books and the cover of The Stand always intrigued me.It was the first complete book my mom and I read together First book on my own (that wasnt a school book)? It anyways, your artist did a great job. the shadowing and colors are just perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude me too, I remember when I was a little kid I was looking through books and the artwork on The Stand caught my attention and stuck with me for some reason....knew I had to get it done one day. I'm really happy with how they came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sleewell Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 ^ thanks man, took about 2 years going every month. the artist is a genius but only works 2-3 hours at a time. i really love it, its been done for about 2 years now and i still am amazed with how good it turned out. here is the artist: http://bugsartwork.com/index.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HELSTRUME Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 I could never get into tatts. To me they are more for bikers and gang members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ruppert240 Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 there is some nice work in this thread, but I just don't get tats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sleewell Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 I could never get into tatts. To me they are more for bikers and gang members. im sorry dude but this statement is just ignorant and so far from the truth its funny. you would be so surprised with how many white collar types are into it. its art; plain and simple and way beyond the stereotypes you mentioned. i work at a bank, own my home, and am college educated. its cool if its not for you and i respect your opinion but it is just not correct.

Members islesdon Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 Nice tats everyone!I don't have any, because I'm too much of a {censored} for one! However, if I did get one.

They're expecting it to take around 80 hours in total, he's a big dude. It all started out as a way to cover up some old tribal which you can still make out slightly up top.

Members Dolf Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 I need to find a great artist that isn't $150+ an hour (Like Earl Funk). Then I will be able to finally plan some {censored}e out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I will be able to finally plan some {censored}e out. you pay for what you get these days, especially since the recent explosion in popularity of tattoos. quality costs $$$ unless you are friends or related to the artist. 150 is the least i would pay, if an artist doesnt value their work at that rate i think it says something about them. obviously you have to look at their portfolio rather than just their hourly rate but top artists deserve top tier pricing imo.

This, +100x Good art work isn't cheap, unless as sleewell mentioned, you are in with the artist personally and, $150 is the standard now a days. The higher end guys charge any where from $300-$600 an hour. For permanent work on your body, it's definitely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
