[cultmetfan]

the top two in the post above bigred's remind me of some shit The Cure used to have around 1987-88.
I likes it a lot.

[ArtyCow]

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/trevmontage.jpg

[greyham]

wow, that's finished well quick
i remember being in when he was having the lady done and that wasnt that long ago!
looks mint

[ArtyCow]

he came in every couple of weeks and sometimes for 4 or 5 hours,best way of getting it done!

[greyham]

haha
must have quite a few pennies stashed away!
i do like very much

[Cuckoo For Caca]

Is that just shadowing or did you accidentally put an apostrophe in "I am"?

[ArtyCow]

i didnt do that particular bit,twas already there,but i presume its so it doesnt say iam what iam

[ArtyCow]

haha
must have quite a few pennies stashed away!
i do like very much

no just works,doesnt pay much rent and dj's too so spends all his cash on ink

[The Welsh-thing]

Is it possible for that oriental water dragon to look like a fire breathing dragon? I had an idea of having a dragons head + neck coming out from fire-ball or sommat. Seems to look very similar to this one.

[ArtyCow]

yup of course

the guy told me what he wanted and i designed it for him,simple as that

[The Welsh-thing]

fantastic!

[ArtyCow]

Just done my first convention at Manchester and loved it,got work done myself too,and love that!

these are the 2 pieces i did yesterday

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/vicchest2.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/clarevic2.jpg

6 hours for the first one and 5 for the 2nd,a long long day!

[Gandalf]

It must be really mentally draining having to concentrate on a something for that long.

[ArtyCow]

yup,i am abit of a zombie today,but it was worth it,its what i love to do

[ArtyCow]

and i just found out i won 2nd prize for one of em for best b&g tattoo at the convention!!go me

[Klute]

[ArtyCow]

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/cablastnothealed.jpg

[ArtyCow]

Just so this is top of the pile ;)

[The Welsh-thing]

Congrats Julie!

[ArtyCow]

pfffft you called me Julie


(but thanks)

[Izzy Twig]

Well done on the award Jules.
I remember seeing you doing the lady on the guy's chest but I didn't say hi as you looked deep in concentration.

[ArtyCow]

oh you dong,why didnt you say hi,i wouldnt have minded

kept getting photomagraphed,god knows who by,but was very odd!!

[godonlyknows]

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/cablastnothealed.jpg

I think I said so somewhere else, but this properly rocks.

If you're getting awards for drawing things like that on people with special tools, I say it's fully deserved.

[ArtyCow]

thank you,i am utterly made up with it myself....got a better (albeit wonky) pic ere,it'll be in aprils issue of skin deep (tattoo mag) too

http://www.flickr.com/photos/donnah/410139153/

[Gibby]

Not a tattoo connossieur myself, but both carp are excellent.

[Izzy Twig]

oh you dong,why didnt you say hi,i wouldnt have minded



Because I'm a big wuss! Plus my mum was getting greener and greener by the minute at the sight of possible pain so we didn't stay long, still don't know why she wanted to come along.

[ArtyCow]

gawd you paid 20 quid to have a quick look round?each??????

no wonder she was green!!!!!!!

[Izzy Twig]

gawd you paid 20 quid to have a quick look round?each??????

no wonder she was green!!!!!!!

We stayed for a good couple of hours, going back and forth, but we had a duo train thing so we had to travel at the same time so i couldn't stay on by myself. But yeh, a bit expensive..... My next convention will be done properly.

[ArtyCow]

what,bumbling round complaining about the price of the booze?haha

loved this weekend,really did,and so ****in chuffed with my arm and my trophy,i am a lucky gal

[Marsha]

its a carp,a proper carp haha!

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/notakoicarp2.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/starrework.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/tribalrework2.jpg

[Izzy Twig]

Great job on the ugly fish Jules, I really like the different greens in it.
(I always think carp and koi carp are really ugly btw)

[stellarforher]

that fish is PROPER disgusting why would anyone want it on their body?
but. as i look closer. i should imagine its very hard tattooing something ugly so dont take itpersonally fish are just rank :)

all this is making me think the money i am saving is going to have a verrrrry worthwhile outcome jules :cool:

[Betty]

some good stuff. You reworked my bro's tatt really well, but i am the one looking after it as he cant reach. It looks really good and he says he wants it mirrored on the other side if your up for it. I bet your sick of tribal by now!

[ArtyCow]

ah that was your brother with the tribal rework?tell him to get summat different,it can still be tribalish but to mirror that one would be a shame,as that wouldnt be what i would do given a bare shoulder....seems abit of a waste!!

get him to search the net for inspiration!

[Betty]

he does like his tribal. i dont think he has enough courage to go for something different, although he wouldnt mind some manga maybe on his leg, dont think it would look right on his back as tribal would clash with it.

[ArtyCow]

no i'd stick with B&G but we could defo do some funkier tribal that that......will show him some when he comes in to get his arm reworked,least he can look after that himself haha

[Readymade]

Sorry to mention his name on the board, but just out of curiosity, are you the artist who designed and inked "Cowley's" tattoos?

Some of your work that i've seen is sheer genius. I'm hoping to get some designs sorted myself soon and if you are the same artist then i'll be certainly dropping them in for a quote

*Sorry, just seen that there is a misc thread for posts like these

[Betty]

oh, you should have seen his arm before the tribal. He thought it would be good idea to go against my dad's words at 16 or 17 and go have bradders on his arm (our last name is bradley but people who he is friends with in leyland call him bradders, and he was having it done in leyland so thought he would get that). So he goes to get it done, comes out and they have misspelt bradders, and tattooed braders. We all took the piss, it was funny, so he had it covered.

You'll have to play a prank on him, and look at it and go 'hmmmph, does this say braders underneath?' or say some wierd word is forming in the tattooo when your going over it.

[ArtyCow]

i'll let you off,this once haha

erm,yeh,theyre not finished and they were started a long time ago but yes i did em

[Readymade]

i'll let you off,this once haha

erm,yeh,theyre not finished and they were started a long time ago but yes i did em

he got it done by someone else or something. Not sure who.

The greyscale shading = awesome :cool:

Anyways, my real question is where is 81 in Preston? I know the Manc one well. Not too clued up on Preston really, other than the centre

hahaha i might just do that,seems he has a sense of humour

as for the location of the studio,if you're in town centre just head towards the uni down friargate and keep going til youre at the bottom of it and we're on the left,near the adelphi

[Juggsy]

That turned out really well so far matey, w00t for the trusty parker pen!!

I was chuckling about the various topics of our conversation all the way home that day...

Do you think you could do something like this on the existing tatt on my ankle you did to carry it round, same sorta thing but diff images and such? i really hope you can because this is gorgeous and when i saw it i was all :D

edit- reminds me of Deanne Cheuk's work, is this what inspired you/person who had it done?

[ArtyCow]

it is a design by brandon boyd from incubus,though someone said its actually the drummer who is the artist in the band

i am not sure wether it will do with what you have.....i'd have to have a draw on,and bring some images in with you

we're booked up next week already,busy busy busy!

Thanks for mine. I cant wait to get the colour added. My mates are already in awe of it as it is.

[FakePlasticFlower]

I have to say, the tattoos you do are absolutely stunning. I come on here every now and again to have a nosy. (really want a tattoo of my own but trying to drum up courage. But if i ever get one, i really want it done by you!!). Beautiful!

a cover up

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/artycow/markkoicover2.jpg

[cottie1969]

Jules, I came in your shop a few weeks back. I had my mind made up with what I wanted, you took the time to chat with me and advise me regards my choice which made me reconsider. To be honest I was looking for Dave (I think) who did a small piece on my wifes back but you impressed me so would love you to sort me out, if you pardon the expression.

I have a smallish tribal tat on my left arm at the mo, slightly off centre (as you kindly pointed out!). I am looking to have a black (maybe with grey) dragon above this but I am struggling due to this original tat. I also struggle getting time off work. What days are best for me to come and see you? Due to being a big coward I would also like to come in, talk, get it done and leave!!!!

p.s. I stumbled across this link on a PNE footy website, the pics you have posted are an absolute credit to you. One talented lady! (pps did you go to Fulwood High?)

[ArtyCow]

Hiya!

Nope i went to garstang high first off,secondly sorry for pointing out fault with the tattoo,we only do this when the person who has it has already stated they want it sorting out anyway and as you may have already gathered we don't mince our words in our place!

I am pretty booked up atm,but if you really trust me and want to come in,get the design sorted then get the tattoo done then i suggest just booking in for 3 hours,which would include 30 mins draw on......i cannot promise the tattoo would be done in this time and considering the size i would guess it may take 2 visits,but 2 and a half hours tattooing is the max most people are comfortable with having

If you want to call in one day this week i am in all week from weds to sun,and then if you want to just book in for 3 hours i am sure we can come up with the design in that 30 mins,it sounds like we maybe have to go right over the existing design..........

call in,if you ring 887577 to see if i have 10 mins free one day thats also an option,then we can have a natter,but getting it done there and then is pretty out of the question i think,but dont worry the more you come into the studio the less scary it is!

I wasn't criticising regards your comment on what I already had, I liked the honest opinion. I think I will stick my head round the door this week if I get chance.
My wife thought you were in the year above her at Fulwood, hence the question! I take it you have loads of dragon examples to hand if I suddenly descend on you?

I am actually getting excited at the thought of you attacking me, strange eh! Thanks for the quick reply

DC

[ArtyCow]

Ah i know it wasnt a criticism,dont worry

we have plenty of dragons BUT save time by doing as much research as you can on them,look on google,ask.com (images) and just do as much looking as you can,then bring anything you find in with you

see ya soon!

[The Welsh-thing]

Or alternatively you can just say where you want it, how bigs and what colours and let Juliet go wild...thats what I did and I am very pleased with it so far.

[andi_myshadowinvain]

the traditional work on page 14 looks mint. was was gonna get martin do my work, but now i've seen you traditional pieces i may have to re-think that one...

[ArtyCow]

cheers,love doing that kinda stuff too

just finished a couple of swallows today but didnt get a pic as it needs to settle down first,lots of white ya see

[Marsha]

Jules.......i get all excited when you post in this thread! but you are just telling us that you have done a nice tattoo today, however you didnt take any photos.........thats just torture and should not be allowed!

[The Welsh-thing]

Love the back piece.

[Jonnysus]

Rossy's arm looks cool as ****

I'd really like to get something done one day, but I'm far too fickle and I have sissy-arms

[ArtyCow]

can't wait to shade her in

[enomilie]

*humps rossys arm*

[Middle Distance]

i would hump it too, but its too difficult!

THANKS JULES i love it!

[ArtyCow]

no bloody worries,ta for letting me do such a beaut of a tattoo (will be once she's all done anyhoo)

[Fugazi]

It does look good, even though it's not done yet.

He didn't get time to get any cream, but don't worry, I've told him that he can do aftercare with lighter fluid and the rough side of a sponge.

[cultmetfan]

Rossy's tatt is fookin' ace

:D

[Cuckoo For Caca]

Aye, saw it "in the flesh" today and it looks pretty cool.

[ArtyCow]

That looks ****in well good, I'll get a proper look at it tomorrow at practise! Leckey is sendin me a pic of his too, can't wait to see what that looks like now! Could you do bio-mech tats Jules? I want something to cover my sleeve and I've decided it has to be some kind of bio-mech but I'm not sure exactly what so I figured I could just ask you to freehand me something?

[Marsha]

you used THE bad word!

[DedPaul]

i am not massively up on bio mech BUT when i did the mary sleeve and the victoria frances tattoo i hadnt done that style before either.....so i will let you know that and then let you decide!

i'd suggest calling in and looking through everything in the studio for inspiration,we have loadsa stuff you may not even have considered before.....then if you still want bio mech then at least you looked at everything

i gotta design a clockwork bio mech one,now thats a headache lol

[Marsha]

tat!

jules will shout

and she will shout at me for posting in her TATTOO thread - but she is the best and she shares my love of The Gossip, so i may get away with it. there is no hope for you though:\

[ArtyCow]

i have given up on telling people not to chat in my picture thread and i am too elated at winning 1300 quid tonight to have even noticed

and leona i could forgive you almost owt luv :p

Sweet stuff, I'm expecting a nice big cheque any day now (did the reclaim bank charges malarky) so I thought the best way to blow it would be a nice new tat so I'll pop in hopefully one coming weekend and look through the stuff. Also my lass is after a new one, possibly a Phoenix on her foot so she's asked me to ask if you if you'd ever done anything like that before? (think she was eyeing up the one on the front of one of the Harry Potter books lol). You'll deffo have to let me see this clockwork bio-mech because that sounds ACE! I might also be interested in that! :D

[ArtyCow]

i have done a pheonix before and IIRC we have a couple of nice ones that are small enough to do on a foot

remember booked up for 3 weeks atm so plan ahead!

wd on the bank charges,i did that too,if you're still with that bank they just credit your account

Well, I spent a couple of hours getting my dragon today and just thought I had better report back on my experience. I am over the moooooooon.

My new tattoo is better than I could ever imagine, and I still have another sitting to go.

If anyone is thinking of getting a tat, book this lady. Talented and a very cool person to deal with. Made me feel well at ease whilst producing better than I imagined.

Jules, I salute you! (hope you got your new TV!)

DC.

[ArtyCow]

Cheers fella,glad your experience was a good un,it was a pleasure and cheers for the chat!fridays are the maddest as all 4 of us are in,its usually a tad quieter (but not any less mad)

[ArtyCow]

cheers fella,twas good to do and a top lass

[stemo]

Sorry it's taken so long to say ta, but a distinct lack of broadband @ home means i'm never online because i can feel myself getting older as i wait for a page to load on dial-up.
BUT............. I ****ing love my tatt, it turned out so much better than i thought it could, the shading is sick, and the little bit of red in the blood looks really cool in contrast to the rest of the B&G!
it's all healed up now so next time i'm town and i've 2 minutes i'll pop in and show ya :bow:

[ArtyCow]

Ace,yes travel ALL that way across the road so i can get a photo ;)

jesus h christ


glad yer chuffed,will get the pic on,gutted we dont have a before pic

will i ever learn?

[Brack]

I like these a lot. I'm due a biggy, any chance you can post some more back pieces? Prefer text / gothic / "profound" stuff (ooh, I'm so charismatic, deep and edgy). Cheers,
Brack

[ArtyCow]

Prestonians arent really big back piece people

i have only done 2 half back pieces and 2 full ones,also 2 ongoing,theyre angels,organic tribal and hopefully soon i will be doing a massive gothic angel backpiece (see pics on this thread of the womens faces and search Victoria Frances pics)

come and see me in studio 81,i can show you some more pics and you can see if you like the studio etc,if you need directions give me a pm

[cottie1969]

My arm is now fully healed and looking good. Had nothing but compliments, well chuffed. Recommend anyone visiting the arty cow! Keep posting your pics, I might have to re-visit sooner than I anticipated.

Thanks

Dave.

[Kimb]

That? That would be ace.

That's the one! It would look sweet as hell. I myself am currently pondering over getting the one Anakin Skywalker has on him in the Clone Wars cartoon series during his jedi training in the cavern.

[ArtyCow]

yeh its doable,but unless whoever is having it has neck muscles etc like that,it aint gonna look quite as ace as that

[ArtyCow]

A. excellent work, and

B. does that guy who mentioned the theremin still want to talk to someone who can build one? I confess I forgot about that until now, and your post reminded me, popping in is pretty much zero effort for me.

[Denning]

That looks brilliant. Is it staying hollow/shaded or getting colour
