imagine having to live with this on your arm

http://www.tattooconnect.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1010 what a mess.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Shows some individuality. What kind of tattoos are you sporting?Some cool band logos?What do you care what someone gets? If you have nothing nice to say shut your pie hole.

who pissed in your wheaties? donald...george...dick...whoever the Steadman sleeve is unique and shows that some care and thought went into his choice of art and artist....

Mess? that sleeve is awesome. Love to see some of yer tattoos to get a frame of reference...

If you dont know, that its the way Steadmans art looks like. Its not a bad tattoo, the style of the art is just like that.

Judging someones artwork choices is kinda like complaining about what they eat.

That is Awesome!! Is it Alucard?

Obviously someone doesn't know his art huh? Google Ralph Steadman there donnie!

hahaha im actually quite ecstatic at being able to live with it. I loooooove my tattoo. im even going back in a month to have some more "mess" added. ohh god how priceless.

As well you should my friend...it is sooo fuckin cool!!!

you don,t realize how difficult it is to achieve such a perfect mess. nice tat man. very clean, very sharp.

what's wrong with that tattoo? it's well done...not my bag, but that's why it's not MY arm! hey, to the starter of this thread....i couldn't imagine living with that fucking ugly thing on your neck you call a head! asshole!

thank you guys for the kind words. its soo funny too, because jason was so completely faithful to the original artwork, while still adding his own flair to it. i was just amazed watching him tattoo it. which i suppose is what bums me out about this guy, your not just dissing my tattoo but your making light of how talented jason grace really is. and thanks again you guys. and dutchy did you ever end up getting your kids doodles as a tattoo?

^ who me?

i was in a Rasputin's recently and I saw a dude with a tattoo on his forearm which i instantly recognized as Jason's work. I was like "dude, that's a Jason Tyler Grace tattoo! awesomeness!!" and he's like "uhh...yeah!" I was so proud of myself... XD

haha thats great, yea his work seems like itd be pretty easy to spot. and yea oven man i cant remember if it was you or somebody else who was asking about the doodle tattoos that holly ellis did.

Heres for you Donald Enjoy!!!

you should get 3 to 5 for doing that to someones arm.

Yeah 3-5 GRAND!!!!

upon further inspection, that arm appears to be of the girly variety. i'm kinda turned on.

ooooh turned on by a guys forearms. Bold statement for a conservative such as yourself. Sorry you dont like the style of art Dez. I know its not a prissy little house by the water or a bowl of pink roses or some other nonsense that looks like it came out of a Thomas Kincade gallery. But oh well cant please everyone.

kinkade couldn't carry my brushes.

I once had a 12 year old get aroused by my joey cap pin up tattoo. That was akward.

and that tattoo is fantastic. Tell Jason to upload tattoos more often, the slacker. He never writes, he never calls....

Will do he said hes coming to my town for a guest spot or something at one of the local studios and he told me to drop by. and yea its funny cause when he first asked me how i found him, i told him that i saw the tattoos he posted on here. and he took pictures of my tattoo after every session but he hasnt put any new tattoos here or even on the studios site in a while. Haha I guess hes just having too much fun living in the city. oh well i'll just keep pushing him.

i am offering to amputate that arm free of charge. it's my civic duty. i've never actually amputated an arm before, so i really don't feel right about charging.

Like i said before fancy lad, perhaps you should just stick to painting your delightfully effeminate houses on the water and giggling children. I have my tastes in art and you obviously have your own idea of what makes good art. Im in awe of my tattoo and im incredibly happy i get to wear it for the rest of my life. Funny i thought artists like yourself were supposed to be open minded? Anyways i'll let you get back to your condescending and juvenile shit talk. lord knows youd probably wilt away and die if you didnt get your daily dose of that

i'm just glad i didn't make you cry!! oh, wait....

Hey Dutch,,,I would like to amputate it too! I'd like to stuff it and hang it up so people can see a truly imaginative awesome tattoo!! Still lovin it pal!!

Hahaha Poor Donald Duck, he made a fool out of himself. OfCourseMyHorse, that tattoo is solid, and I was privileged to see the progress. Regarding Dez's comment....well some things never change...and if I am not mistaken this is the only board that hasn't banned the hater. Too many posers, too many people that open their mouths without knowing "what's up"

i was banned from your board for using the word "penis". i think that says more about you than it does about me.

"Like i said before fancy lad, perhaps you should just stick to painting your delightfully effeminate houses on the water and giggling children." interesting,your defending a guy with a dude with spiked hair tattooed forever on his arm, but your shitting on giggling children?? ooops, there goes your credibility. oh, and the next time you compare that cartoon bullshit to my art, you might get hit by lightening. i'm not keeping score, but i think i'm up 11 or 12 to 0 at this point.

oooh, i stand corrected, you ARE the meatball with a spikey haired dude with sunglasses forever on your arm. i think that makes you a fancy-boy. that's 3 posts in a row. i think that's enough.

ha, three posts in a row sounds like a lot crying to me... go back to your color by shapes, nerd.

i would have had 4 in a row if you didn't just fuck it up. snapperhead.

...heh... I think that the paint splotch effect done with the hair looks rather cool... I actually think the whole sleeve is nice :) And why is this forum ALWAYS filled with whineasses? Pfft.

...because Gabe hasn't find a way to ban dez...yet.

found*

I hear more crying dez... hey! theres a little triangle that needs a little darker shade or the whole painting will fall part... go make perfect. Sleeve guy, keep it up! Poke JTG and tell him to call! Poster asking why the crybabies are here... We keep this board open and anonymous and have banned very few people. Dont be fooled by fallenking, we know and can ban Dez(or any of the others fallenking has banned) anytime. I choose to spend my time building websites and using computers to promote tattoo artists, not banning people and moderating a stupid forum. There are literally like one or two people who have been banned for serious abuse of the board. I think of it as a collective conscience experiment. The zen test is ignoring the negative, and running with the positive. For those who are gonna bitch I have time to answer this post and not the others asking "real" questions, Ill try to get to those today too.

1)ralph steadman is a shitty artist. 2)fk is a steaming turd 3) triangles mystify me. i can never get em right. 4)all of fk's banning efforts have failed. all terrible truths.

Will do Gabe. haha Dez buddy ive already seen your artwork so any and all comments you have to make on my tattoo just crack me up. Ralph Steadmans a great artist, nor is their even a need for me to defend him, his artwork is pretty well known and respected in the states. especially for an English artist. His subjects may not be as benign and boring as yours are, but i happen to find that to be a good thing. Now go paint another pink house or some giggling children. or even better giggling children in front of a pink house. Whod have known a grand ol shit talker like you, would be such an artistic softie?

my pink houses and giggling children are a metaphor for the blackened souls of the damned, and you know it. being well known does not make you a good artist, it makes you a master marketer. he doesn't suck because he's a cartoonist, he's a cartoonist because he sucks. now fetch my pipe, and my fiddlers three.

Whatever, youve more than likely never even seen any of his work. and besides i personally love his art which is all that matters as its MY arm. geez man get a new hobby, more to life than trolling forums all day, you must have a really empty life buddy.

i troll this board all day and yet you are here to offer your 2 cents after everything i post. the offer to amputate your arm for free expires in 48 hours, after that, you are on your own.

Quick tip: Don't let Steadman hear you calling him English (HST was the only one who could get away w/that)...he's WELSH, boyo!

Excellent work Jason. Hats off to you.

ohh callin a welsh boyo a brit.. he aint gonna like that much! anywho.. im feckin loving the horse one! cool, unusual, and not pink houses... i think your sleeve rocks!

LOVE IT! LOVE IT!! and LOVE IT SOME MORE!!! I can't imagine anyone NOT loving it! Thanks for sharing buddy!

Wow I am shocked to see this tattoo in the link. It is one of my favorites I had seen in a long time. Sure it is different but it is superb work all the same...I love it for the fact it is so different. But to each thier own. Sure you have a nice tribal on you instead and thats all personal prefference....
