I love the Canadian flag, very well done, it really hase a third dimension look to it.
I still have not got a single tattoo myself, I know what I want, I just need to find the right artist in Calgary that can do it.

As a side note, I was attempting to entertain myself a few days ago, and Googled "worst tattoos". Wow. My favourite (i.e. the worst) was a tattoo of a naked, traditionally-dressed Native American/Aboriginal woman clinging to a corndog. Seriously...huh?

What type of work are you looking to get done Greg? I might be able to point you in the direction of someone that shines in the type/theme that you're looking for.

Gary,
Thanks for the offer I have been military history nut since I was a little boy, especially in aviation and dogfighting. What I want to do is get a photo realistic style back piece, or at least portions of it to start.. on one shoulder blade I want to get a WWI dogfight scene and on the other shoulder a WWII dogfight scene.. something like this [img][/img]

Greg,
Scott Ford at Smilin’ Buddha is a photorealistic artist and does great detailed work. He has done a couple of mine including this piranha / koi cross: |

I would have recognized that Smilin' Buddha water anywhere! Scott Ford did one for me. I do not have any pictures of it. It is a tribal design with a dolphin jumping in a wave of Smilin' Buddha water. 1.5 hours - first tattoo - go big or go home, for sure.

This one was 3.5 hours. It's about 6 X 8 inches.
I posted this one because it is the only fish related one I have. The first one I got from Scott is a photorealistic style of an opening showing the nerves, muscles, tendons, bone... under the skin. My chiro said he'd like to use it as a teaching aid because it shows the structure of the joint so well. Last edited by Brent F; 05-28-2008 at 06:49 PM. |

the ones here look great but I had to google "worst tattoo".
forgetting about the ones in bad taste, looks like just because someone can tattoo doesn't means they can draw (or spell). |

That way of doing water is very old and is a staple of any tradional Japanese art where water is depicted. Many artists do their "finger waves" in this fashion, but some leave the tips of the waves more rounded. The artists that like the sharp tips call the ones with the rounded tips "pecker waves".
