Nice! Gotta love thatI'm getting my right arm sleeve finished in a few weeks. We didn't get it all finished the last all day session we had. The awesome part: we're bartering. I'm building him a website to pay for the remaining work needed.

Before you get carries away with "Tribal" ink...do you have any ancestry that could be represented? In other words....I have Irish and English ancestry, so no matter how much I love samoan ink, like The Rock, it just doesnt fit me. With that being said...Im not Japanese, but my sleeve is of Japanese theme...however its a Japanese Firefighter theme, so its the historical factor I took into account. Make sense?I know this is a hell of a revive but I've been thinking bout this for a while and am kinda torn. I'm getting open shoulder surgery here in 2 weeks and that's going to leave me with a nasty scar or scars. Coupled with acne scars I know I'll be a mess on my right shoulder area. I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten a tattoo to cover up a scar? Also what does everyone think about tribal stuff similar to something like this: http://www.cuded.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/16-polynesian-chest-tattoo.jpg
I'm torn because you can add so much meaning and subtle hints at what you've done in your life without it being blatantly obvious and with it being all black I figured it would hold up better over time.... but it's a tribal tattoo and I know everyone and their brothers get them for their first tattoos so I'm kinda torn since it'll be my first tattoo as well.
Been through a lot of ****, love to be able to represent that without it being baltently obvious.
Yeah that's the other issue I have with getting it. Nothing "historical" so to speak. I've always loved the ocean tho, that's why I took up sailing last year and scuba diving this year. I have memories going to the Caribbean and fishing with family when I was younger etc. life for me has been based around the ocean. My family is mostly Germanic and polish though so that's the part that doesn't really fit too well.Before you get carries away with "Tribal" ink...do you have any ancestry that could be represented?

Of its the ocean you like, tell your tattoo artist, maybe they can make a tribal type design utilizing water and Poseidon? Maybe even throw an Octopus on the top of the shoulder that has its 8 tentacles coming down over your arm and chest as the base. Just an ideaYeah that's the other issue I have with getting it.

Yeah I was thinking about something like that, but I'm no artist so I have no idea how to incorporate any of that. I'm more of a simplistic guy so Im trying to keep it relatively simple in terms of detailing, I don't think j could pull off the tats you all have lol.Of its the ocean you like, tell your tattoo artist, maybe they can make a tribal type design utilizing water and Poseidon?

Best thing you can do is give the idea and parameters to the artist, and then tell them to design something original within those specs. Trust me...they like when you give them an idea but give them room for creativity rather than saying "I want this and thats it"Yeah I was thinking about something like that, but I'm no artist so I have no idea how to incorporate any of that.
