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?  :P



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

Good stuff. Make sure to get some pictures up when it's done.

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"
