without even looking at the tattoo in question, I'd say that shopping for price is the last thing you should do when it comes to a tattoo. Pay what it costs to have it done right the first time and you won't have to worry about how crappy it looks because some guy gave you a deal, not to mention the risk of contracting a disease, which for some reason you don't seem too worried about since you didn't mention it. Now that I've looked at the links you've posted. Any decent professional artist can pull off what you're looking to do, but keep in mind, again, it's worth it to pay the price to have it done RIGHT. Also, you should let the artist run with the design and not copy someone elses work. Let them work their own twist into it and creating YOUR tattoo, not copying someone elses tattoo. Tattoos should be done in shops, not someones house. There's a reason that alot of these people can't get jobs in shops, and no matter what they tell you, it usually boils down to the fact that they don't have the skills it takes to work in a shop full time, and those skills aren't limited to art, but also showing up to work on time, keeping appointments, keeping their workspace clean, abiding by local regulations and having all of their certifications and licensing in order, in addition to a host of other things. Bottom line: Go to a good shop (research shops for quality, not price), pay what it costs to get it done right, and then you wont' have to worry about how bad it looks or if you got Hep C. It's on you for life, give yourself the privilege of having a great tattoo, if you settle for a cheap one, it only shows how little you respect yourself. -KRYSTOF www.pisstfishtat2.com
About the myspace site...no way all those were done by the same artist, NO WAY!! Some are very good and others are just begginer quality scratch. BE CAREFUL AND PICKY!!!
