Marylin was kinda upset but only I think because she didn’t realize that they post not only ugly or “bad” work, but also joke tattoos and silly ones, that are well done. I understand that not knowing what the site was like she would be pretty upset. But I love that site so…
Any rate here’s the tattoo that caused the flak.
At any rate, this is my own photo of the tattoo. It came out great and makes me really happy. Marylin is an awesome person, and the tattoo made us both giggle a ton. So it didn’t bother me to see it posted there. Go check out their site, too. Except for the fact that they don’t even TRY to find the source for the better-quality tattoos and credit the artists (COME ON GUYS) it’s a great site. And the truly ugly tattoos that do get posted are hilarious too.
I like it I think because I can just sort of play. Someone else has done the hard part- the conceptualizing, the drawing, all that, and I get to just make something a little bit ragged into something WAY new for the person.
People seem to be really excited when they get stuff repaired or retouched, too. I do free touchups on all the work I do, but not all artists offer that…I mean most of the tattooers I know do, but I have heard of some that don’t. So I end up with people coming to get things fixed every once in a while, and every single time I really enjoy it.
