Looking at getting my first tattoo, have been looking for a while at designs and have shopped this up from a couple of favourites, it would be different but this is the colour and general theme, and yes its big for a first tatoo but if I'm going to get one done, it had better be a good one

Amazing artwork, love how it flows from the elbow. Some very strange pieces on here though!

Lad at work just had a sleeve done in amsterdam, 4k! Truly amazing work though.

Waiting for my psoriasis flare up to calm so I can get my upper arms done.

You sure you shopped this together? looks very much like a piece buy an artist called Jeff Gogue..

Edit: it may be shopped but the skull is definitely from a Jeff Gogue peice

It's 2 Gogue tats combined! Well spotted.

Really like his work but can't be flying over to the states for an appointment

Yea, his stuff is amazing! He has a 2 year waiting list at the moment. Nearly got him at the London convention a couple of years ago but he got turned back at the airport when he got here as he didnt have any kind of working visa and they figured he would be working seeing as he had all his gear with him. Dam border control people!

My friend had a nice B/W one done at New Wave tattoo recently, the girl that did it had some stuff that looked similar quality wise in her portfolio to this, obviously a different personal style but I'm going for the general appearance not an exact copy, however the skull needs to be spot on!

Do you guys think a wrist tat is girly location?

No.

Cool, Gogues skulls are pretty awesome, not seem many come close to him. If your in London sHo0sH, Frith Street Tattoos are really good.

Where are you having it done?

Shayper · 12 Jul 2011 at 15:12

Right shoulder, going in an inwards spiral to the top of my forearm.

If you meant where as in what shop, Indigo in Norwich.

And it's costing me a tenner

sHo0sH · 12 Jul 2011 at 15:37

This is the one he got done, really nice detailing...

Did you just go down for a consultation or did you expect to walk in and have a 3 hour piece done
