I need a profile shot of an s2r engine with the belt covers off. line art is preferable but just a profile shot of an engine out of a frame would help out.

Update: my apt is on the 9th and neither I  or the artist has been able to find any usable photos. I reallllly want to get the engine done but I cant without a picture!

that could work but its alot of detail, its only going to be about 1/2 that size and im using it to frame a girls face so its not even going to be the focal point really.

Portrait tattoos are about as hit and miss as it gets. Good luck.

So, motor and grill?  Tongue



I would highly suggest making sure that you've wanted the same ink for at least 6 months before getting it.

Also, I'd only get daughter or mother.

^lol

no worries guys, im super picky on tattoo artists (and pay accordingly)

the artist I pick will be determined by whether or not theyve done a tattoo like mine in the past, its going to be oldschool flash so shading and portrait detail will be at a minimum.

something like these

Just to be clear - "flash" is the drawings/books you see at tattoo parlors. I'm assuming you don't want flash. That's picking a tattoo out of a book.

yeah but the style im going for is based on flash from the 1920's-1950's and is generally referred to as "oldschool flash" or "americana"
