Kept mine simple and to the point a triple scroll over my heart which says

The thing about ink Boner, is that perfection don't exist. I knew a guy with the most righteous ink done. Absolutely standout shit. The thing is, it was all perfectly placed, and balanced, and colored.

The guy was a walking artwork.

But that's the thing. It looked too made up. Too planned. It took away from the nature of ink itself: a deeply personal expression.

All he looked like was a museum object. Great ink, but no spontaneity, no life, no essence. Ah well, my $0.02.

To the bong! Peace all.
I know what you mean and I'm not dissing anyones ink as I know it's all very personal to each and every person but because of how easy it is to buy the gear and because of the shows like Miami/LA?london ink every cunt and his dog thinks they can be a tattoo artist (the word artist is the most important thing imo) and theres way too much shit ink about which is why I'm so cautious of who (when the time comes) will be doing my portrait.

I will be getting my first tattoo this year... I have decided on this with modifications, such as more dot matrix, a little larger, different positioning heart instead of a spade... Plus secret stuff. But this is the basic Idea...
