jimbob321 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Im looking to get a big salvador dali elephant sculpture tattood on my back but for it to look good it needs to be really detailed and to scale from top to bottom. Can anyone suggest a place capable of this? Seen as its for life money isnt an issue but i think it would take a really skilled artist to get what im looking for. Also this would be my first tattoo so any ideas of how much it hurts having your back tattood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen his tattoos and his drawings. He drew a picture of Gollum from LOTR for me and it is excellent. I also had him tattoo a fairy on my back. She looks amazing. For your first tattoo, I would recommend something small and less detailed. You don't want to start a large one only to discover that you can't handle the pain.

Depends on how you are with pain. I won't lie. I am a baby about pain and my fairy hurt like hell. I love the tat so it was worth it to me.

LolasMum Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Tattooist in Crystal Peaks market, has any one used them? Myself and my hubby go to She Inks in Woodhouse and all weve had done is lovely and really professional, theres a lovely elderly chap who works there too who seems to know as much as the owner does about tattoos! Its really comfortable and friendly. Ive been past crystal peaks but didnt think much to the tattoo pictures I saw and dont like the idea of being tattooed somewhere thats in the same arena as raw meat etc. Hope this helps x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leesha Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've just had a half sleeve started at Mr Personality in Woodseats. Pat (the owner) is the one doing it for me and he is AMAZING!! I've got 10 tattoos, all done at different tattoo shops and Pat is definitely the best artist/tattooist I've come across in Sheffield. It was a 2 hour sitting and he got a lot of the outline work done. Still a lot to go though... The best thing is, is that he takes his time. All his line work is fantastic, no wonky bits at all - even though I twitched a few times when he was close to my armpit. I guarantee that most places in Sheffield would have rushed what Pat is doing for me. I have one of a similar size which only took 1 hour 30 mins...yet this half sleeve is expected to take 6 hours + .... just goes to show he's professional. He doens't lie either. Most tattooists lie and tell you it won't hurt bad. Pat seems to know all the 'sore' bits and warns you before he does a line there! A++++++++++ for Mr Personality!!!

Bulgarian Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Also this would be my first tattoo so any ideas of how much it hurts having your back tattood? I've had my back done, it's very variable, some bits you feel nothing, but other bits are agony (IMO), the bottom of my spine was murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
