Let's see your tattoos

Thanks man, picture of the snake is really bad gotta get some new ones once heald.
Your piece looks like it's coming together nicely to.

 

Haha I know man. Sorry. Appointment got delayed and now I have one more session before it's fully complete.

 

I feel like I've been slacking between you two posting.

Time to spend some monies towards ink. Truck has been to spoiled.

 

I love getting inked, but I'm about done with it... freak'n full sleeve is brutal in some spots.. here's a quick pic of the inside... as soon as I complete the sleeve I'll post up some good shots...

 

Just started progressing mine end of last year. I held off for the longest time just because of my career path. But working for a college = no tattoo polices = game on.

I've got one more large piece to add before we go in and do the background, then it's back to my right arm to finish my half sleeve and progress towards a full sleeve. Most of my stuff is already drawn up, just need to work on finishing it and the back ground.

 

Nice. I waited years to get my full sleeve. I transferred to a new department within my county a few years ago and my Chief is accepting of my ink.. as long as it's not offensive etc... i'm certainly unique in my rural county being in law-enforcement with a full sleeve.. you should see the looks I get at times.. lol

 

Where yat? (I see CA, I'm near Yosemite)

 

I hear ya, years ago myself and my partner on the boo boo bus were referred to as the "tat" crew. Your pretty lucky, a lot of places are unforgiving and require full sleeve uniforms.

And that is exactly why I held off, wasn't sure if I was going to get into Law Enforcement or not, got lucky and got hired by our local community college at the Fire School. They don't even mind the Mohawk, which most don't even notice any way.

 

I'm about 200 miles north of ya. I'm 2 hours north of Sac on 1-5.

 

Yeah, I am lucky for sure. There's a few cops at my local PD that have to wear a tat sleeve. Obviously it's more accepting in bigger cities just not so much in smaller rural counties... Not sure what the big deal is, as long as it's not offensive and or racist, who cares.. it's 2017!! Firefighter? Nice man! Although you know I'm supposed to hate you! You do realize cops are the real heroes

J/k

 

Are you on the LEO BS thread? Go there.

On a related note, the only one to have a fit over my (small) forearm tatt is my MIL...

 

Here is mine nowhere near a full sleeve yet, if I ever stop buying Tacoma parts I'll get the rest of the tattoos I want.

 

Tried taking a quick pic kinda hard to get everything going for a full suit

 

Hahahaha. How come we're always pulling you outta sticky situations then?

"FDNY Saves NYPD officer after he gets stuck in tree trying to save a cat"

 

That looks great. I am a black and grey fan myself. Really like the hard lines with the soft shading look too. Once I finish my sleeve, i will also post pictures, but that might be a while....

I have two half sleeves now and my chest done now, but I am joining the Army Reserves as a JAG this summer, and the recruiter told me I had to stop where I was, at least until I was in for a few years. I even had to get a waiver because they could be seen while I was wearing a t shirt.

 

And to think a judge at my one sentencing hearing told me"And no more tattoos!"
Things have certainly changed in 30 years.

 

Who do you go to?

 

I go to Luke Scheid. He is the owner of DermAdorn Tattoo in Winston Salem.

 

Just set me appointment to finish my sleeve on my left arm. Won't be until August though! That's going to seem like an eternity.

My finished light house and the flag I started are probably my best pieces.
