posted it in a different thread but i wanna get some opinions before i really get it done:

question...before i actually get it inked on me...what do you guys perceive of swastika tattoo? *im Buddhist and wanted to get it for luck*

been thinking about it for awhile and planning on getting it on my right side chest *from my point of view, right area* and now im wondering how people will react when they see it...mind you the swastika is a peaceful symbol (and goes in the opposite direction of the Nazi one) and im an Asian guy

planning on this one and after, BEEN planning a dragon with a Ace of Spades card on my back...

just wanted to share....any opinions?

Buddhist:

Such a shame that the symbol for "peace" was reversed and now Nazi-ism is the first thing people think about when they see it... sad :(

I say get the symbol if you want, and if people give you shit, school them so they remember where it originated. :cool
 
So yeah, I emailed Paul Booth on his site and his assistant replied back:

Jason,

I will pass this on to Paul.

Info on Paul’s Appts…

2 year wait is perfect, I'm in no rush and would rather wait that time anyhow. The pricing I know is very HIGH for a tattoo artist. Quite honestly, I love his detail in his work and shading. I know your paying for his name and all. But he didn't get famous for no reason, it's because his work is AWESOME I could be wrong, but that just my opinion. Anyhow, I'm assuming the piece that I want would take 3-5 hours. I don't mind spending on a tattoo $1000-1500. Quality is what I'm going for and if it's going on my body permanently I wont go cheap. This is what I have in mind, keep in mind this is my first tattoo:laughing:teeth.

If he has a problem duplicating his own work, then I wouldn't mind a different variation of that dragon. I would like an arm piece/sleeve as shown or can use more of the center upper left body like left side chest/rib cage + arm if needed. I have no clue how long a piece takes, but apparently he is FAST from what the email says. What do you think, am I crazy?:rofl

Paul Booth is world renown for his demonic uses of shading and line-work. His art can be mimicked but the point is : That is a PB piece.

What do you mean by PB piece? I'm not into demonic tattoos, but I like his sleeping dragon tattoo that he did.

Yep. Much like a piece of art, collecting from specific, amazing artists is quite common.


Btw, re: dragon tattoo. Why's he sleeping?


:laughing :p
