I found this internet site great for ideas for your tattoo s,safe to use,its free but be warned i was on it for months !!!!.www.checkoutmyink.com

That is a nice site man! There is a lot of great work there, saw a couple that desperately need covered up ! None of that material is copyrighted? You should check out another site posted on this forum. It's called Your Tattoo Library - Free Tattoos Designs It has free downloadable flash and I even snagged two of the tribal dragons and graphed them together, redid a few areas and tattooed the new design on my right thigh. You can see the finished product in my album.

Hmmm, cool... after I posted this post it changed the url I typed in to a clickable link! Nice feature Greg!!!

Thanks for your reply, yep alot of my work is coverups or re-working the original. but i did find this site handy for ideas or inspiration. most of my work is custom,once only.i saw a post regarding if client brings own concept of tattoo can the artist re-use this design over again,no way!! this is the clients design,i always give back the stencil and would never do that custom work again,as i think you may have said earlier they own the copyright.
how long have you been tattooing.what city,do you live in.
just keen to get a better history.
great to be able to throw ideas around
cheers

sorry forgot to say,no none of the art is copyrighted you can save pictures as to my documents or my pictures. alot of what you see is crap, but some are amazing.

Just had a look at the site you posted,yep some nice work() i may be there a while!!!!!.

We need a chat room on this forum ! I've been inking for 14 years and still nowhere near where I want to be! Always learning ya know? I'm in Arizona, US, and I completely agree every tattoo should be a one of a kind. Why would anyone want to express themselves with something someone else already is expressing themselves with?

What a great idea a chat room would be great,i was part of one for 6 months with fantastic people,some shithead took all the hard earned ideas and turned it into a tattoo book to sell on net.After 14 yrs of being in the industry i would value your ideas. please bear in mind i have only been inking for a year and at times that was hard earned, infomation is not given freely here but i have come to understand why.the internet is an amazing place for info but only in the right hands.Say no more you know what i mean.
cheers
