Nice work, congrats Rafa!

[Finn666]

gonna post a better pic once fully healed. really satisfied with it…i even think about bringing in some red into the roses. the red skin from getting inked looked actually pretty good.
there's always time for that though

saturday is going to be wild again...just checking the last details!

IMO red is must in black and grey tattoos. Especially in the shades

[Max Power]

You mean, the rose wasn't red? Looked a bit like it. I wouldn't go for a much brighter colour than what you seem to have in the picture, it might "ruin" the whole B/W concept on your body.

[Finn666]

nope, the shading of the roses is black and grey like everything else. it just appeared to be red, cuz the skin itself was red from the needle working it, not cuz we used red color
but that "red look" was what got me thinking if or if not!…

Here's a bad pic of mine. Next monday it will get some finishing touches. Turned out a tad larger than anticipated, but thought, what the hell, lets do this
By the way, that's my right thigh, and tattooing on the inside of your thigh hurts like hell…

tattooing really has reached great heights now from when i first had mine over 30 yrs ago allthough funny enough the style i had thenis the style thats back in fashion the old retro sailor style tattoos .

Nice work, Finn! So you're sticking with your local artist instead of looking for someone in switzerland?

[Finn666]

thanks Flo…well since i was back in germany over the holidays i thought why not use the time and to something good
still searching for a good one here in switzerland. besides that, i really trust my guy and love the work he's doing. not that easy to go to a new guy imo...how do you think about that?
VH is one i'd love to "try" though...

[Max Power]

I'm not sure…I personally like to stick with artists I know, it makes it way easier to find the motive and you can trust them. But then, I like to experiment as well. I think it's easy: pick the best one for the stuff you have in your mind. And when you stick with the direction you started (and it looks like it), it's totally fine to stick with your artist.

[Finn666]

might start with some jap. inspired motivs on my leg…mick in zürich is THE guy for such things i heard! my artist is getting things done from him as well, so he really needs to be burtal good!

[Max Power]

Is Filip Leu still working? i thought he was swiss…try him

[Finn666]

he's one hour away from my home…might have to hit him up (if he's still in the game)

[Max Power]

The best in Europe, in this style IMO.

[davito]

Mick is worldwide one the best artist and a legend in his style. Filip leu as well i work with a close friend of him on some of my stuff, all freehand
