TATTOO TALK~ Artists, Artworks, and Aftercare

[st@rr]

@Springfield: First of all, I'm not going into an argument with you. Because I admit, I'm not a TATTOO expert. I was just commenting on your post:

They have the exposure but it doesnt mean mga maayo sila

As a consumer, wa sad mi nagpataka ug pili ug tattoo shop... When we got there, the first thing we did was to look at their portfolio... had a good look at a tattoo of a person's mother at his back that looked exactly like the picture and we were very impressed. And this was way before we knew that they were famous. And this being our first time, we wanted of course, a good artist to do it... I dont want regretting this my whole life.

In case I was vague before, I was just not gauging their skill just from my "little dolphin tattoo." I know there are a lot of BETTER tattoo shops that you can find... I wasn't saying they are the best. I was just satisfied with their work on me... it wasn't my goal anyway to have the "best dolphin tattoo" in the world.

You have your views on them and I have mine... and I base mine on what I saw firsthand at their shop. I'm just sharing to these people here, tattoo enthusiasts, about my experience and some information. For you, they may not be worthy of the fame they're getting... but people still recognize them and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. In the first place, do you think they will be famous and continue to be famous if they're not even good?

As to the rest of what you're saying, I agree. Going to tattoo conventions will let you find the best of the best... that's supposedly is the purpose, for the best artists to showcase their skills. And you are right, people who are better sometimes don't get the fame that they deserve... mao lang gyud nang kalibutan... I guess they should just wait for their luck to come around.

Anyway, It's best if we just go back to the topic.

@Ian: good luck!

Nobody is into any ARGUMENT here but exchanging of IDEAS . Your opinions and mine's .

And you just did the right thing .

In case I was vague before, I was just not gauging their skill just from my "little dolphin tattoo." I know there are a lot of BETTER tattoo shops that you can find...

Exactly but I was implying that also somewhere are ARTIST whom are way better than them and thats where I guessed ticked you because I was criticizing the place where you got yours .

You have your views on them and I have mine... and I base mine on what I saw firsthand at their shop. I'm just sharing to these people here, tattoo enthusiasts, about my experience and some information.

First of all , I am not saying they are NOT WORTHY of the FAME they have right now . They worked their way but dont discount again the fact of their connections and SKILLS only comes in second . Secondly , nobody knows they are gone in a couple of years because MISMANAGEMENT or PERSONAL REASONS who knows ? Still the fact that they are good is still with them , no doubt .

As to the rest of what you're saying, I agree. Going to tattoo conventions will let you find the best of the best... that's supposedly is the purpose, for the best artists to showcase their skills. And you are right, people who are better sometimes don't get the fame that they deserve... mao lang gyud nang kalibutan... I guess they should just wait for their luck to come around.

Right time and right place ... for you to be SUCKcessful , you have to SUCKrifice . Thats fact on just anywhere else no matter what INDUSTRY you are in .

@ IAN ... I dont see me making it into BIG DEALS , nor anything funny thus makes me wonder why NAGKATAWA ka . I am not telling you what to get or who to ink you or where to go , it was an OPINION towards the group of tattoo artist . Just read DD's comment , he himself is an artist if I am not mistaken , we have the same exact sentiments , nothing so special with them .

Alright Mr. SPRINGFIELD_XD_40! Hahaha..
By the way, are you a tattoo artist?

[rockart9]

it is an art form. Tatooing has been around for centuries. The Maori used it and even our ancestors the "pintados" used it to represent rank as well as other cultures. The reasons behind having it and getting it might have changed over the years but it remains a form of expression. Its just a matter of preference, really.But me, i'm still working on a design.
