I really like LDR’s face and for some reason I find Emilio very creepy in that picture ;_; Feels like if his right eye are looking straight true my soul

I’m not seeing the asymmetry. i”m just not.
That said, presuming I’m just not seeing something that is there: as far as the technical goes… is that really what’s most important, to the point where the whole design is a failure somehow if thar’s not achieved? I mean, the person who posted that is a tattooist, so it probably is to him, because he wants to execute hus designs well. But if the overall look works, maybe that’s most important.
And as far as LDR, presuming for a moment that he’s still getting tattooed just because he’s addicted to ink and there really is not any grad design to it, so he’s just going over old work because there’s nowhere else to put ink and he wants more anyway (which I’m NOT saying I believe): what’s wrong with that? If he loves being tattooed that much and that’s his deal, rah rah for him, I say. It doesn’t have to be “about” the best looking art one can have.
My earlobe piercings are old gun holes. Now that I’ve stretched them it is FUCKING BLATANT how off they are. If the point were more about aesthetics, or about doing things the right way rather than the mall way, and less about me as a youngster wanting to mark important milestones as I grew, I’d take my shit out and get my earlobes re-pierced. If that’s my motivation I’d have tons of reasons to correct them.
But I have them not only because of how they look, but because of what it meant for me to be twelve, do something really huge that had an impact on my life, tell my mother I wanted to mark it on my body, and have it done the only way I and my family knew back then.

I dont think LDR is still getting new tattoos. Last I heard he was up to 99% coverage. Hes probably in new of touch up ink though. Anyways, if you look at the previous articles he has been in, particularly Lukas Zpira vs. LDR, you can see a better picture of his facial work. To say that the artist who did his work is untalented is a joke.
Speaking of facial tattoos, where is the Enigma in all this? I met him about a week ago. I definately think that he and the Lizardman have a home among these two.

Lucky Diamond Rich performed at my city’s Busker Festival two years ago, and I remember thinking he was the best act I’d ever seen! Not only is his body completely covered in tattoos (I believe someone mentioned once that he was the most tatooed person in the world, may or may not be true), but he’s a fantastic busker. Very good at juggling knives on a 10′ unicycle!

consider three things before speaking.
1. does it need to be said?
2. does it need to be said now?
3. does it need to be said by ME?
