JDMCQ's Garage

Yup Yup, 2 night shifts, then off another 6 days but might come back to work some OT.. not certain yet. Probably will, Vegas was expensive

Who's winning?

 

I go to a local shop here. I have a great artist. He normally hooks me up with everything.

 

Nice, I've gotta travel about 650km's for my artist, dudes been designing mine now for a few months between visits. Its gonna be siic. So stoked for it.

Ironically, If I move to C-town. I'll be turned into another red sea fan

Sounds like a great trip.

 

Some things in life you shouldn't cheap out on.. Brakes and tattoo's are some of them. The pricing on just my current design and sketching for my next one is already over 500..

 

I paid about $1000 for my back piece, took about 9 hours to do, oh the glorious pain, separates the men from the boys real fast

 

Not gonna lie, ass hurt worst then my spine did, I've got the top 1/4 of my back done. The last 3/4's is going to be about 40 hours.

That 500 I mentioned is JUST for the current artwork, not including ink

 

What's the design?

 

Basically a Gaurdian Angel that spans my whole back:
- Male
- Battle torn/ dented/ broken heavy armour
- Realistic / Dark art style
- Weapon will be a maul (in memory of my sweden trip) with viking symbols adorned all across it.
- More of a ready stance pose then like an action stance
- UV Ink accents along different parts of the armour. Still debating on this one.
- Angel wings

If I had to decribe it, that'd be how currently. and INSANE amounts of detailing

 

Wow, that sounds cool, I have Day of the Dead skull with green death coming out of it (vapor), roses, shrunken heads, and a Reaper's Scythe behind it all

 

Noice! Got a pic?

My new ones in my gallery.

 

cell phone pic, but you get the point, classic ink style, only two places did it hurt like you wouldn't believe, rest of it was just run of the mill pain.

 

Looks awesome, what was the motivation behind that one?

I am an old fart and just do not understand the attraction of tats.

No need to tell me why. I just accept them and think they are a personal choice made by the bearer of the tats.

I will say that some are meaningfull and some are just WTF.

I do know that tats have been around for a long long long time so in some respects they are normal.

 

Tom, I agree with you. I have friends of mine covered in some of thee most rediculous tattoos you've ever seen. One of them has quagmire from family guy sitting on his nipple, another has a pie slice of swiss cheese on his leg so he can win drinks at bars by betting people that he has the "Cheesiest tattoo ever".

I thought for 4 years to get my first one, it was in memory of my brother who passed away. My next will be homage to my faith and some other facets of my life. and now I can even say I've got an awesome silly one

 

Ive been thinking about mine.....
