That's exactly how I felt about my last tattoo!

It really is unbelievable.

I'm getting the itch again. This time it'll be a pretty large one and it'll be a cover up too (or even incorporating). Actually must search the forum for good cover up artists.

Such a shame Wojt is leaving. This thread is full of **** black and grey, pieces like that show you how it should be done.

Is this true? Anyone know when he is heading off? Would love something done soon.

Which Wildcat studio is he in btw? Stephens green or Jervis Street?

Thanks a million

He said he was leaving in about a week or two, but he will be back every 3-4 months to hopefully do guest spots. I hope he is anyways. He is based in the Jervis Street studio, if you're lucky he might have some free slots left but I booked mine about three weeks ago and they were already getting scarce then

mig mag

Tree of life yeah? That's deadly...

Can't really make out what's going on around it? A boot strap or something?

john kinsella

Nice mate,

Where did you get that done? Impressive work

spakks

Damon form ATATTOOED in Bray did the work there is still a small bit of work to be finished.

Star Lord

Very nice, but I can't help but feel that it's missing something, and that having it in colour would probably have added a lot to it.

I know a lot of people prefer B&W though.

spakks

B & W all the way

Star Lord

From experience, I have found that people that prefer B&W*, are those that haven't got a colour piece done. I know now that I have had a nice colour piece done, I don't think I could/would go back to B&W.



*depending on the piece B&W sometimes suits better, sometimes less IMHO

spakks

I have a small colour tat on my right arm and have thought a long time b4 getting this 1 and i think B&W looks best

Kimbot

My new Tat... I'm loving it.

JohnnyQuid

Simple but I love them.

tbh

don't mean to be nosey JQ, but whats the story behind them?

ddef

i may be wrong, but on his left right arm (his perspective) it equates to 13, and 7 on the other arm. now i may be wrong still, but i do beleive they add up to 20. so there you go. desyphered to the max.

SV

It would seem quite apt if it referenced that verse in the bible

John 13:7 Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

Ya they do stand for 13 and 7 but I don't usually add them up

Haha i never thought about them being a biblical reference.But I'm not exactly the most religious person

The actual story behind them is kinda simple.its to do with good and evil,7 being a lucky number for me and 13 is what people believe to be unlucky.I'm not one of these people who has to have a story behind every tattoo (a la miami ink) but i really liked the good and evil theme.I didn't want to go and get angels and demons fighting though so I went with something simpler.I feel like one of those people on miami ink now lol.

Man I'm beyond delighted. Never thought he'd be able to take my idea and make it work, but he literally came up with exactly what I wanted, even though I didn't know exactly what that was!
I've had that design seven years, and always thought it'd fall short of what I expected, and instead it's perfect to me. I didn't know it'd be so large 'til the day though! Was expecting to just get a shoulder one, not a half-arm!



It really is. He's the only guy I really wanted to ink me, but he should be back every couple months for guest spots. Fingers crossed. He's a loss to the industry in Ireland.

Any ideas when he's going? I’ve being putting together ideas for a sleeve that I plan on starting in a month or two, I'd only have faith in him to pull it off judging from his work.

I'm afraid he's left already

As you can see i'm a huge fan of Queensryche. This is a prog-metal band, best of the world!!! My tattoo is the cover of their album "Operation Mindcrime"

Dyr

mindcrime.... one of my favorite albums of all time that, any close up pics of the tat?
