Let's see your tattoos

Here is the first color tattoo I did. Decided I would start tattooing as a part time career in retirement when I hit 46-50 depending on $$$. Don't judge too hard

 

and here is a tattoo that got finished on me about two months ago (the bottom is very fresh in the pic)...I am chipping away on my back currently.

 

Sleeve near the arm pit or legit armpit tattoo?

 

Both armpits completely filled in...working on a bodysuit. So yes it was easily the worst (for me).

 

Props man. I’d imagine it’d be like tattooing a bowl of mashed potatoes after 20 minutes.

 

Last time i got any work done was like 10 yrs ago, but that may change soon.

 

Fresh ink yesterday...

 

Anxiously awaiting coming back from deployment / debating whether I should get my half sleeve outline covered up, did it back when traditional and the whole punk rock scene thing was cool, want something nature like the one on the right but not sure if it's feasible.

 

Definitely feasible. Just gotta sit down and work with someone. They’ll get you taken care of for sure.

 

Thanks man, worried with all the lines. But the artist I found does some amazing work and has done some cover ups. Fingers crossed, not a fan of my current art.

 

My daughter passed away a few days after she was born. The Part across my chest starts with her birthday as the time signature and then her heartbeat from an echo she had. Then it goes into you are my sunshine as the song.

 

Very cool, with lots of meaning

 

Still have a little filler left on this, but almost done.

 

Definitely doable as Luke said. May not be able to do a complete cover up but at least they can turn it into something much more detailed and multi-dimensional like you're looking for.

 

Thank’s man, Love the way it’s turning out so far!

 

I'm hoping for a cover up. I'm not a fan of the sparrows, stars, traditional look. I'm thinking with color and shading there might be a chance. I know there's alot to it. We will see. I also considered laser removal but have seen mixed results with that.

 

Yep also found a good place in Phoenix with a Pico laser but still seen some adverse reactions/healing time/lackluster results and cost $$$. Gonna start with artist consult when I get back, see what he thinks and go from there. Almost just want to say fuck it and leave the damn thing. lol.

 

Here is a not so new (old) ink. Nick name Cooter cause as a kid I could swim underwater and grab turtles and jerk them under. LOL. Never got bit. Done it to a duck or two also. Nope don't smoke anymore either. Quit in 2010. All the things I enjoyed had to be bad for me. Booze women and smoke. Dammit!

 

Yep, was looking at maybe something like this that would for sure cover up.

 

Dam! Now thats a cover up. Talk about sleeve .
