    I love the eyes on the chinese dragon, near the pit,

    to a certain extent, i agree with you. it’s unfortunate that a lot of those people out there have no clue as to what many tattoo aficionados (which you more than likely are?) know to be ‘good’ work. sometimes i don’t know whether i am happy or saddened to hear, “wow, i never dreamed that a tattoo could look like that!” sure, everyone takes their art in different directions, and some artists should have stuck to working in mcdonald’s, but until more people participate and post pics of their really super-sweet work, i’m sure the majority of the pics you continue to see will be those from the individual who ‘just got all tatted up’ and is proudly displaying their work to whatever audience they can get. maybe a few more pictures submitted of good work might make them second guess that ‘taz tatty’ they’re itchin’ for; maybe it just means that there’s job security in laser tattoo removal…
