Let's see your tattoos

haha i have one up there too, and it sucked. more than gettin my fingers tattooed.
yes thats a 'stache and i got it 4 years ago

 

I'm debating a hawaiian tribal-style half sleeve on my right arm incorporating my japanese family crest.... gonna have a draft designed by an artist friend of mine

how fun are the upper arms/shoulder for getting tattoos?

 

i have this..pain was ehhhh, got pretty bad once your skin starts turning raw but it's not the worst. as for shoulder, on the very top where it says "saint christopher" kinda hurt, he hit some nerves and it felt like ink was dripping onto my forearm haha. and my other tattoo is on my shoulder blade on the left side of my back, the upper part didnt hurt to much. i dont remember much of that one, i wasnt worried about that pain as much as the first one

right out of the shower about an hour after it was finished. it obviously looks differnt now (no redness) but its 6am here on thanksgiving soooooo im not gettin up haha.

i forgot to mention that i did this tattoo in two sessions. this was the first session,





shading was the second session






then i decided on getting another another about 3 months later. (at the shop when i finished)






keep in mind when gettting tattoos, your future employers might not like them being visible. just something to keep into consideration. i want my next one to be more visible since i can cover all these ones up but im still not quite sure.

 

Arms are not bad until you get to the under side....that gets tender quick. Doing the elbow sucks....no meat, just skin & nerves.

 

i'll post mine up later. it took me a lonnng time to get the 2 that i have now, so i imagine it will be just as long for me to make up my mind what i want to do next. i have some ideas, but as of right now i can't picture how i'm going to tie it all together. so i've stopped for now lol.

i also wish i was in a different line of work, i would definitely be working on sleeves. i mean, i could but i would have to wear long sleeves to work everyday. boo on that.

 

those rib pieces yours? and is one a tribal tat and the other girls name? woooow. youre hardcore for have 2 ribs tats and.... yea

 

i think the big black tribal is to cover the girl's name...

I only have one girl's name on my body, and she's my daughter...

 

Rib tats hurt!!!!

 

i sure hope so...
only way you should get a girls name tattooed oon you is if shes:
your mom
daughter
sister
a women that has passed away

 

Going on Friday

 

finally posting a pic of mine. i know i want more, and i know i want both arms, chest, upper back to be done. its just a matter of deciding what and how to tie it all together.

 

Thats sick!
