Let the artist do it.

I would if i even had a clue where to start haha.

Bet that's a fun one to sit through.

Fucking brutal, but totally worth it. I love this piece so far.

Just sit down and talk with an artist, most of the time they can pick your brain, find out your hobbies/interests/passions and they can throw out ideas. Also, spend some time on tattoo forums, they have sections dedicated to showing off their work. See some different styles, learn what makes a tattoo good or bad, etc.

90's called they said don't do it bro.... tribal is long dead

Cool story bro. If I wanted to get what everybody else thought was cool or in I might as well not get one at all.

Good idea. I know a few people who are tattoo artists. After i "finish" my car i'll start looking into getting something done.

I am still drawing some dragon I want on my forearm...
Can't get the damn feet right.
I usually draw my tats for months before i get them done, shit is there forever gotta be just what I want.

my latest part of my sleeve. Its an angel for my daughter Zoe since she's the angel in my life. The little red guy down at the bottom is a sour patch kid. If you have seen the sour patch kid commercials "first they are sour, then they are sweet" that is my daughter lol. My wife and I call her that so its just kind of a funny reminder of her in this stage in life (almost 2 yrs old)

That's what I figured, its not exactly in the most forgiving area. Gonna be a really sweet one when its finished though, the line work is already amazing.

This guy is an absolute artist. The entire tattoo was sketched on to get a rough idea, then done free-hand. I certainly appreciate the kind words, and I'll be sure to pass on the compliment to the artist!

I wish there was someone around my area I could trust enough to be my go to artist. All of my tattoos have come from a different state, there's a few established artist around here but their shops or customer service isn't the best.

I think he was just being honest. But it's your body so do what make you happy.

I think that what people are trying to say is that a tribal tattoo is very overdone, and can usually be found on the Jersey Shore type guido's.

Your body of course, and if that is what you want, go for it.

 

[Torched S197]

I understand what he was saying. And that's fine his opinion. Maybe I should've said tribal like tattoo. I'd like to try and incorporate some Native American stuff into it though like a bear claw feathers and some other stuff since I have some Cherokee in me

 

[lethe]

Do what you want to do. I don't get ink based on wether or not i think others will like it. If you like it thats what matters.

i agree to each his own.

Tribal is so out dated that Kap came and got this chest piece right after the Superbowl from one of my artists:

Some more examples of tribal which is not stuck in the 90's.

Take a look at the homie Q's tribal:

when i hear tribal i cringe and expect what most get the stereotypical solid black line art

 

[1QIKPNY]

The examples above are more Polynesian then tribal to me. I'm like the above when I hear tribal I think of solid black.

true it is like poly, but it has the outer edging like tribal but it's just not solid and it's a bit more technical than typical tribal, theres also a hint of moari styiling in the above but like i feel it's inside a more technical tribal style. it looks a hell of a lot better then what i had imagined at least

 

[Torched S197]

The tribal I was talking about is what nick posted. I figured when I said pec and shoulder tattoo that's what comes to everyone's mind. At least that's what I think of
