Nigel Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Aye, tis my own design. I specialize in custom work and plan to have a sheet of Pirate flash (the stuff that you see all over a tattoo studio to choose from) available soon. *WHEW* what a relief!!! Fer a minute, I thought that the first pic was yer arm! Fine work, indeed, lass. What a talented bunch o' pirates we have in the pub!

Longarm Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Damn, to think I used to live in Maryland and, I have a real itch for more ink. Oh well, I've still got a mate or two up that way so it might be about time for a visit. Can't wait to see more of your work. I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. To me it smells like....PIRACY!
crimsoncrow Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Pynch, me compliments to yer fine artistry. The artist I use here locally can more than likely agree with you on getting to ink something that is not the same ol', same ol'. I brought him my own pyratical design and when he finished.....five hours later....he actually thanked me for letting him do the work. Said it was a nice break from the Frat and Sorority stuff he ussually had to put up with. I am working on another design to cover up some old line work I had done years back. John will be the one to do it. You find a good artist and you stay with them.

Captian Wolfy Wench Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 That is so awesome, Pynch. Your design is absolutely AMAZING, your fine artistry and taste for designs is fabulous!! If you were in me area, I'd come to you fer me tat! I don't like a lot of tattoo artists becuase they don't do much else but copy designs... I like to see the tat artists that are good artists, too!
Pynch Posted November 2, 2004 Author Posted November 2, 2004 Fer a minute, I thought that the first pic was yer arm! Strangely 'nuff Nigel, I only have a few...none visible without me actually *wantin* tae show ye. I agree...this is one talented crew!

I agree wi'yers....there's nothing like a body trusting ye to apply a meaningful, well wrought and permanent design on 'em. I usually give a price break with the work is something I enjoy doing. Sounds tae me like ye've got a fine inker working wi'ye. I'd love tae see yer work if ye've got a pic.

As far as price breaks go, my inker never said anything, buuuuut, I think it was the, case none the less. When I took him the design, originally, I was bracing for a four or five hundred dollar tab.....He said he would do it for two. I tipped him handsomely after it was finished. He was all grinz while he was inking it. (I did notice some original work of his on the wall by his station.....pyrate stuff......Hmmmmm) I'll have to get a picture of it.......May be a wee bit, though. I am still in the stone age with a regular film camera, so I will have to finish and develope another roll. I'll send it your way, once I do.

Captain_MacNamara Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 If'n ye ever find yerself in oklahoma... we'll kidnap ye and take ye to a place where ye'll be plied with more alcohol than ye could possibly drink... Either that, or I'll save some of the special rum fer ye that some o' me crew brings back from Costa Rica e'ry year... But ye'll get a tip one way r' another...

Aye, I have to agree. Well worth $500 as far as I am concerned. As far as tipping goes, tis a shame that yer clientle be w'out manners or appreciation. I have three inkings and tipped on each one.

Duchess Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Unfortunately it ain't a tip if it be compulsory. I've tipped for all me tats, and also been cut good deals for it being something of my own. But a few years back, my trusted artist became born again, and last time I went to talk to him, I recieved a lecture on my religious morals. A bit of a shock since I wanted to consult about some new work... The Duchess
Pynch Posted November 3, 2004 Author Posted November 3, 2004 Ah well, I chalk it up as a hazard of the port in which I ply my trade. Not exactly the best of locales and the natives are an uneducated lot. Those coming in from far away lands are a bit more savvy, but they're few an' far between. To compensate me empty pockets, I'm sure to charge em in blood fer original works up front. No sense in this little pyrate lass goin' round wi' holes in her boots, eh? Duchess, I agree...(although I love crimsoncrow's idea of a sign!), it's got tae be given freely, not ordered. As fer yer artists use of his shop as a pulpit...tis' a shame.

Captain_MacNamara Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Finally got my ink done, as a christmas present... Sorry for the blurry pic, but my camera right now is crap. Thanks to Pynch for the design! Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
Pynch Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 OH MY GAWD!!!! It looks great Cap'n Mac...even blurrylike!

Captain_MacNamara Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 By the way... I posted that picture 10 minutes after the needle stopped... I told ye it was perfect when ye drew it fer me! I *did* downsize it to 75% of it's original size, but it turned out perfect, imo... Thanky, and yes, I am quite pleased with it Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.

Captain_MacNamara Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 On my left upper arm... only place it felt right really. My wife's cousin is a proffessional artist, with a proffessional setup... he's just kind of in limbo since he lives here in oklahoma. It was cool... My last tattoo was an armband on the other arm, and it was done with a gun that I built... it was a good gun for homemade, but it hurt like hell. This one was just mildly annoying Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
