Thank man, but gotta wait a dang month to get another session. 7 hours today,I was ready to be done, trust me.Looks freaking sweet bro!
Ive been watching your updates, man that thing is sick. Whoever is doing it is putting the lines in solid and the black looks great. Absolutely no way I could sit there like that on a rib piece, Im to squirley as it is. Keep posting as you get more done, anxious to see how it ends up. And thanks!Looking pretty awesome man. I can't wait to start working on my sleeves.

Here's some progress on a large rib piece I've been working on. Actually it goes from my thigh, up my side, to my chest. Had the outline done in one 4 hr session. Just did 3 hours of shading the other day (last week) on the armor and part of the wings. Going back in a week for more! I can only handle about 3 hour sessions on my ribs.
I love color tattoos but I'm sticking with black and grey (with occasional red) because I'm a sun fanatic and want them to pop / last as long as possible.
Ugh, I'm just imagining the pain but errrr... Gonna stop by the shop on the way to the gym and make an apt. I hate you, Gutterpump!Shading was definitely better yesterday. For half the session I had a huge grin on my face as I was starting to see progress, and it was drawing the attention of almost everyone in the room - had me real excited. But a few spots were still brutal! Anywhere near the hip/armpit, even a few inches away, completely suck. We still need to shade the piece where it crosses over my hip, through my armpit, and overtop of my nipple. I guess he's saving the best for last lol
Looking good and swole!Just wanted to give a quick update. Got all the line work done on the bottom half, and all color finished to the top half today. So far, coming in nice.
My coworker rubbed lidocaine on before she got tatted. Haha, then she found out she was allergic to lidocaine and her arm swelled up.Thanks! I won't lie, the outline was really brutal. I should've taken something to take the edge off. It was the worst pain I'd ever felt and the experience will never leave me.
Nice I'm heading back in a week for round three on this piece. Can't waitUgh, I'm just imagining the pain but errrr... Gonna stop by the shop on the way to the gym and make an apt. I hate you, Gutterpump!
Yeah, that's hardcore! Lets see it man!Looks great man! I just had another session on my side done as well a couple days ago, and we're finally finished with it. 4 x 4 hr sessions, 16 hours total, on the worst area possible lol.
Soon! Gonna give it a couple weeks to heal. The artist is going to take some pro shots then for his folio, so I'll share thoseYeah, that's hardcore! Lets see it man!
Damn bro! Beautiful work!
Damn, that is really cool and extremely well done!And there it is love how it turned out, was definitely worth the money
Tacos and tattoos for you then lol. Or a taco tattoo...two birds, one stone.Damn y'all making me want a tattoo now.
It's super addictive once you start...Damn y'all making me want a tattoo now.
Thanks man. Cost me a fortune and kinda ruined my summer since I was constantly healing.Damn bro! Beautiful work!
Thanks yeah the artist is super talented! I'm working on a larger back piece with him that I'll likely get started next year.Damn, that is really cool and extremely well done!
I've got some references yeah. I'm not sure if you've watched the series, or know about how closely tied together Will and Hannibal were, but here's a couple parts of the new sleeve.Do you have the concept drawn out?
All very cool choices. I watched the first season and keep meaning to go back. I've read all of the books and seen all of the movies repeatedly. I just sort of got busy with other shows and keep forgetting to put it back on the list.I've got some references yeah.

I'll likely fill other gaps with various related flash, filigree, and renaissance era artwork
Thanks. Yeah it gets pretty amazing, especially once they're in Europe when Hannibal is on the run. I was so upset when they were forced to end it. The last season saw the rise and fall of the Red Dragon, I won't say more than that though. Definitely worth watching more than onceAll very cool choices.

Good luck with it homie! Keep us up to date!One more week till we start the sleeve. Getting real excited, but also anxious. I've never had an all-day session before lol, and we're doing 2 to finish it while he's in the country (artist is from Spain - Barcelona).
Wow. Same person doing it?
Yup he's only here for a week so we're making it happen quick.Wow. Same person doing it?

Some progress on the inner bicep.
We went 8 hours yesterday, and there's more work done. I'll post pics soon, it's really swollen today.
Btw, all those lines by my armpit and elbow Definitely funny areas
Depends on how cool the back piece will be.I just found out I'm getting a small inheritance in the mail. Do I start my back piece or be more responsible with it? Lol
I was seriously considering telling you to be smart with it, then I read what you want and saw the picture. Im a bad influence, you really want my opinion? LolView attachment 140758
The Goddess Kali, in her form where she destroys the unrighteous members of humanity. It will wrap onto my left side too (hair, arms)and maybe onto my traps / upper chest
I think I might start it soon but will be really slow with this one. Going to cost a lot. The artist I'll be using is $250/hour. Same guy who did my side piece. What's your opinion? LolI was seriously considering telling you to be smart with it, then I read what you want and saw the picture. Im a bad influence, you really want my opinion? Lol
You should be responsible I guess? lol I'm a bad influence so im going to not say anything lolView attachment 140758

Well, not trying to be to personal, but if you have the "expendable" money, go for it. I dont know anything about your personal life so its hard to say. $250 an hour is not bad at all for the caliber of artist you have doing it for you. Im paying $100 for mine, hes local but well known for his Japanese tats. Unfortunately, with a 15 year old son, the completion of my sleeve has been put on hold for a bit. Brings me to my next point, if youre not married or no kid(s), DO THE TAT NOW!!!!I think I might start it soon but will be really slow with this one. Going to cost a lot. The artist I'll be using is $250/hour. Same guy who did my side piece. What's your opinion? Lol
And you've got some extra money. Sounds like a good situation to meNot married, no kids, and recently single!!
Sounds to me like you wasted $250 worth of time asking!! DO IT!Not married, no kids, and recently single!!
Make sure you see the artist portfolio and be in realization of there capabilities, also if your going to want to extend/add to a piece let the artist know before hand to make it easier when you decide to add more work
