Youngwilliam 381 Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Back in 2000 I was prepared to get "Every Heart Beats True" with the old 90's-2000 emblem, on my left side of my chest. Wife mentioned this time in my life to my oldest son and now I am getting pressure from him. "Come get a tatt with me!" If I was I would still put in the line "Every Heart Beats True" but with the current monogram. Edited November 11, 2021 by Youngwilliam 2 Quote

Gaaawn 23 Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Love that people are keen to get a tattoo (many for the first time), I do recommend anyone thinking about it thoroughly research a good artist before they go ahead. Haven’t seen anything too worrying in this thread, but the difference in ability between a good tattoo artist and a bad one is like Oliver vs. a lowest division country league reserves fill in. Have seen some real shockers on Facebook. 3 Quote

Have seen some real shockers on Facebook. Correct but its also a bit of a dilemma Most high end artists won’t do small pieces like Premiership tattoos and/or are booked out for months. I was lucky that I have a good long term relationship with one of my artists (who lives close by) and he was able to do it out of his studio at home after hours. But yes, by all means do your research and be prepared to wait/travel/pay for a quality product. My god I’ve seen some shocking Premiership tatts on Facebook. 1 Quote

While you make a fair point about the best artists, I don’t necessarily think that’s required for the smaller pieces. An average artist who can pull a straight line and knows how to shade/color is more than enough. With Instagram these days it shouldn’t be that hard to have a look at any artists work before you commit. I’m sure some of these people getting the shockers would spend hours researching the best option for any other decision they need to make (the best mobile phone deal, best value TV etc) but for some reason are happy to walk into any random tattoo parlor and hope for the best!

DoubleRay 8 Posted November 14, 2021 Posted November 14, 2021 Just had this done. I looked at the official design but the cup and words wasted space. By just going with the emblem I could make it bigger to show the logo better. Top tip from my artist was to do all the lines in black for crisp definition then colour in. 8 Quote

Ironically, I am anti tattoo - don't have any, but I do know she is a very talented artist and someone you would trust with your life. Works for a high profile tattoo parlour in Vic. If you are serious, DM me and I'll pass on details. 1 Quote

Well it use to be, I got my first tattoos 55 years ago when I was 16, and then a couple more at the age of 18 and that is how they were done then by the tattooists who at that time were amongst the best going around, Danny Robinson and his wife Bev who at that time was Australia's tattooed lady. They were based in Williamstown. 1 Quote

Beetle might be a better source of info/suggestions Can highly recommend Chapel Tattoo. Great people and give great advice and ideas. Only thing I'd say though, while all the artists there are usually great, their styles are all very very different. I would have a look through their artists' instas and see what style you think suits your idea. Chat to them and email through your ideas and they'll point you in the right direction of who will suit. 1 Quote
