NOLA Residence....

[LA_MERC_CS Widow]

While CFH and I are out there for the LAN, we'd like to get some tattooing done. Anybody know of an artist with a good rep at a place not to far from the LAN?

I want a tatto...but sadly I can't get one due to my Hemophillia :(

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

i want another tattoo as well....how much does small one cost these days?

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

I thought about getting one, once...I change my mind frequently.

[HENK]

WHATS SMALL ?

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

lol, i guess that is pretty vague....i don't know...something that'll fit on a shoulder blade...

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

Look at it this way...$100 an hour plus tip is standard. If you go under an hour, the price goes up as the time gets shorter. Shoulder blade I'd say it would be in the area of 5" x 5" or so. Looking at about $150 most likely. If it has alot of shadding or detail...more.

As for the trip, it's the weekend of Feb 19th. I'm getting a black tribal and I'll bring my own art so I'm easy. Robyn's is an add on to an existing tat. I'll post a pic in a sec.

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

y'all are making me soooooooo jealous!

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

Ok, this is a crappy web cam pic but you can see what you need to. The scrolling under the bird needs to be spruced up. She wants a paisley type design. It's a little flat and boring as it stands.

[HENK]

SIMPLE TRIBALE FOR THE SHOULDER SHOULD RUN AROUND 150-200 ,IF U WANT COLOUR AND LOTS OF SHADING LOOK AT 300 -400!!!!
THEIR IS AN ATTACHMENT OF MY SHOULDER ,THAT MY FRIEND DID IN HOUSE.SORRY ITS KINDA HARD TO TAKE PICS OF URSELF.THE WORK IS NOT COMPLETLY DONE AND DON T BE FOOLED THIS IS A CLOSEUP SHOT,IT ACTUALLY IS REALLY CLEAN,EVEN THOUGH I M NOT 100 % SATISFIED WITH IT "YET".IT COST ME 80 $ AND TOOK LIKE 2 HOURES
HENK

[HENK]

just about anyone should be able to do that,i would just go to eyecandy .it shouldn t be very expensive ether maybe 100$.

Ok, I FINALLYgot pics of my tats....I did it at work with one of our digi cameras :D

These were done by Shawn Warcott at Empire Tattoo here in Cali. I don't expect you to know him but ya neva know. In So Cal you say his name and people know who he is.

BTW, it was around $1100, 12 hours and 2 sittings plus 1 for touch up. The lettering on the second one was done by a diffrent guy and took about 90 mins. Thats the only part Im not happy with on either of them.

[LA_MERC_CS Widow]

I thought about getting one, once...I change my mind frequently.

Heh. I did that for exactly 10 years. On my last birthday I decided it was the right time but didn't think any more about the process and "forever" until I got to the shop. I have to say, it hurt like...well, you've heard I'm sure. It's just a little above my tailbone. Now I couldn't be happier and want more detail added. It's cool to have one done in honor of a milestone or for having come out of a difficult period in life. Especially when somebody asks about the tattoo. They're great conversation pieces.

[LA_MERC_CS Widow]

YAY!!! Finally a picture of them CFH! And good ones at that. ('bout *cough* dang time, *chuckle under breath*)
