my brother died not last month but the one before and i want a tat for him so if anybody will send me the coolest tats you can find i dont want no domb shit just the best i really need it for my brother
I would suggest compiling a list of things you're brother enjoyed doing, your favorite qualities about him, hobbies you shared together, and the like. Bring that list to an awesome custom artist and they will be able to draw up a tattoo unique to you and something that will properly memorialize your brother. I hope that helps. Good luck.
I aggree. We did a tribute two months ago for one of are really close friends whos cousin died this year. It was a picture of him with a skatboard, motorcross helmets, alchol bottles and other items that he loved to do. As long as you go to the right artist you will love the end result. And don't settle for anyone but the best. When it comes down to tribute piece they either look great or go straight to shit. Good luck.
These two above me gave awesome advice. I agree, you should make it about you and your brother. A generic tattoo just won't mean as much. You can go in to the studio, talk to the artist about what you want, give him some ideas of what the two of you liked to do, and if he's worth his salt, he'll come up with something original and awesome that will be made just for you! That's a big part of tattooing. Get something that means something to you and you'll always love it. When people pick just some random flash off the wall just for the hell of it, it can get old pretty quick. Good luck to you. I hope you find an awesome piece. ~Diana~
