This is beyond sad. I don't get it. This had to have been done by a friend or family pet in a living room. I can understand being drunk enough and getting something small after a night out and immediately knowing that you need to go get that **** lasered off. This was something he planned!! He made an apointment for Stevie Wonder to do this!!! He later there for hours to have something that looks like my nine year old drew put on him for life!! What is this world coming to????

One man's art is another man's garbage. He must have seen a drawing and approved.

I actually like it lol. His rendition of being a present day gladiator.

My issue isn't the idea behind it, just the execution. It looks like it was do d by my 7 year old. Do they not have tattoo shops in Atlanta??? That's some of the worst work I've ever seen.

As someone who has a number of tattoos and loves the art this is actually really bad. Its looks so amateurish get what you pay for and the sad thing is he could afford the best artist in the world to do his work.

Aaron Coleman at immaculate did mine and its a 3 month wait to book an appointment with him that looks like a walk in

Julio made PP look like Hellen Keller. Zing.

Lol at athletes and tats. You'd think they'd be able to afford the best artists.

As someone who has many tattoos, it doesn't matter. What's done is absolutely horrific. Everything about that is terrible. The line quality, shading, ect. Whether it's stage 1 or 21, it was done by someone who has no business drawing on people.

I've never had a tattoo or a strong desire to get one.

How much do they cost and how long does it take? For example, say I wanted to get :newcards: tattooed on my ankle at about twice the size what would your guess be?

I have no clue.

That should be done for the shop minimum of 60 to 80 bucks… thats all mine cost down in AZ.

Thanks, Shane.

Less than I would have thought. How long did yours take?
