Vary cool!!!:tu

Re: Tattoos?
 

How big is it? it looks like it is tiny, but it has nice lines and the date in something small is hard to do so props to your artist

Re: Tattoos?
 

Awesome!

Re: Tattoos?
 

It is about 2" x 2". I am not sure how long it took but when he was wiping me off I am like you are done. He was like yep. Now I know where to put the rest of my tats...on the fatty part of my body. :D

Re: Tattoos?
 

well like I said it looks good :tu have fun getting more ink! I will be getting some more work done on my half sleeve this Sunday then 2 weeks after getting my forearm started :noon

Re: Tattoos?
 

Thank you. Good luck with your session.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Ok I have to ask, did you lose a bet and have to get "Real eyes...." tattooed across your chest?

Re: Tattoos?
 

Looks good Alan.

Re: Tattoos?
 

I want more tats sooo bad! I think my next one, although probably a bit cliche, will be my baby daughters footprints on my chest with her name below them.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Cliche tattoos are fine as long as they're not on your neck, in my opinion anyways.

Re: Tattoos?
 

NONE of my tattoos are on my neck. My job frowns upon tattoos that are visible when wearing a long sleeved dress shirt, so all my tats are not visible when wearing work attire :)

Re: Tattoos?
 

Haha, the quote is real eyes realize real lies...i got it for personal reasons and whatnot :)

Re: Tattoos?
 

Ill never have anything above the shoulders, below the wrist.
I have RHCP lyrics: "Take me to the place I love." Get asked all the time were my "place" is.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Got another tattoo on Friday for my friend Sharon that passed away in January. She was going to get this tattoo once she beat cancer. He husband suggested that I get it in honor of her. I was overwhelmed by the awesome suggestion.

Re: Tattoos?
 

That is some tattoo!

Re: Tattoos?
 

That is an awesome tattoo!!

I've been talking to a few artists about doing my half sleeve I'm wanting to get in June. Some are saying 4 hours, some are saying 5+... Im not sure who to go with yet, but probably will go back to the guy who did my first one. The thing is, its about a 2hour trip to his shop. The good thing, there is an old B&M near by I haven't been to yet. So, we'll just see how things go.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Thanks!

Its worth the travel to get the right tattoo, best of luck with your new ink:tu

Re: Tattoos?
 

My forearm is finally completed

Re: Tattoos?
 

Figured since I got a new tattoo today, this thread needs a bump too.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Nice Justin!

Re: Tattoos?
 

Thanks man. This one didn't hurt near as bad as the small cross on my back.

Re: Tattoos?
 

I saw a really awful tattoo last night at the Y. A gal was working out in front of me with a tank top on, less than 10 feet away, and has a tattoo about 3 inches across on her right shoulder. I was on a recumbent cycle behind her and took almost 10 minutes trying to discern what it was. Bluish/angled/splotch/not quite parallelogram/branches/flag/birthmark??????
Nope, it turned out when she walked in front of me that it was just a horribly done, bled out, poorly colored, structured, and designed, conceptualized and completed butterfly. I was disappointed and expected so very much more. To put a tatt where you cannot see it shows that it is not for your pleasure or view, right? For those looking upon it as a "facet of your personality" or some such?

Beautiful, fit, happy gal. Ugly as fnck crappy tatt. Quite a shame, since perhaps she was expecting the performance of the artist to accentuate her beauty or have a work of art on her shoulder instead of denigrating it.

Finished my sleeve yesterday.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Damn, that's cool!!! My wife likes it too; she's a lighthouse nut.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Badass Brian.

Re: Tattoos?
 

:tpd:

What inspired the design?

Re: Tattoos?
 

Thanks guys. We started it last September. Then had to take a break from December to March because I wasn't employed. It was originally going to be black and white with heavy shading. We were almost done with that, and then I decided that it had to be color after seeing his work on my Wife's half sleeve. That added a lot of time, but I'm so happy I went with color. This guy is the best in Boston.

I love the Ocean, and it's traditions. My Dad was a GM1 in the Coast Guard, and I was born at Coast Guard boot camp when our family was stationed there. The CG is in my blood. I'm terrified of Sharks, so I wanted the Kraken to be winning the fight. The Lighthouse and Storms are about not losing your bearing when **** hits the fan, which applies to life right now ironically. I just showed him pictures of what I wanted, and he drew the design up.

The Artist is moving to Hawaii, and he said if I ever want work done that I can stay at his house with him and his Wife for a visit. His work is top notch.

Re: Tattoos?
 

That's very cool Brian. I really need to finish my back piece.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Awesome B & B :D heh

Re: Tattoos?
 

Over the top!

Re: Tattoos?
 

Wife got some new ink today. This piece took about 3.5hrs to get to this point, and it took the tattoo artist about 2hrs to draw it up from scratch. Once it heals, it's getting color.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Very nice work Justin.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Thanks Bob. Eventually she want's a half sleeve. This piece will compromise a great portion of it.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Can't wait to see it with color. I need to get some cash together and get my back piece finished.

Re: Tattoos?
 

:tu

I'm gonna go in Friday and figure out what I want done next and set up an appointment for that.

Re: Tattoos?
 

Got this a couple months ago. This was a crappy cell phone pic taken right after.

Nice coverup Mark. Artist did a good job of it.

How painful was the elbow?
