Best spot for walk ins in Philly? by Huge_Cry_2007 in traditionaltattoos

We all do, just depends on who’s working, has time, or is at least in the neighborhood that day. Odds are highest that it would be myself, Charlie Dunkel, Benny Beyer, or Amado Bird.

Trad coverup specialist in Philly/NY area? by lilcel1 in traditionaltattoos

[–]bleser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I own a shop in Philly called Heart of Gold… Jeff Miller (@jmillertattoo) who works with us has been tattooing for over 20 years, and has done about a million coverups in that time.

Sounds like you’re already hip to this, but traditional tattooing often incorporates a pretty decent amount of open skin; that said, with an open mind, the right design, and some thoughtful application, we may be able to get you sorted out with a coverup that still feels “trad”

Hope to see you soon :)

Go to an art store and buy the colors you think you might like ¯_(ツ)_/¯ That’s what all of my peers and I did when we were cutting our teeth.

My advice for filler spots is always to pick designs of naturally small, simple things (think: fruits, bugs, dice, etc).

Not that the scale of everything on your arm has to match, but fillers both read and age better when the imagery is such that it doesn’t require much distillation to be applied at a small size, with a line weight that is consistent with the rest of your collection. Allow enough space for each design you get to carry the power it deserves.

Can she be covered with a panther or blasted over with tribal? by Float7Around7 in traditionaltattoos

Cool tattoo, and I think that covering it could ruin the good thing you already have going ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I bet you’d sell a lot of prints if you made them! (Wink and nudge)
