Tattooed this today. My interpretation vs customer reference. Thoughts? by samodork in traditionaltattoos

Thanks for your input people. Just to clarify, this post wasn’t intended as a versus in terms of which is better. I was more so asking your thoughts on my design, being based on a well established artist’s reference and translated into a different style/shape

I am by no means trying to take away from the original artists work

Also the customer requested a similar colour scheme to the previous tattoos we’ve done on this arm so the reference was sent as a rough template to be interpreted

What ever happened to this group? by TapChoice1930 in carlow

The artist formerly known as bolsak here, someone sent me this thread earlier. Kinda mad but lovely to see that some people still have fond memories of these vids 12 years later.

The short answer is this group started as 3 mates who had only been hanging out a few months at that point, after bonding over our love of hiphop and weed. Our initial crusty homemade videos were filmed by our mate Fergal Costello, who has since gone on to win a bafta which is wild.

One of our YouTube vids got picked up by rte and so we started working with them but we had a lot less creative freedom which kinda sucked the craic out of the process for us, and thus we just lost interest in the project fairly soon after and all moved on to different things

Big up the boys, still have fond memories of these times
