@Oaktavia Will be really interested to see how Satan turns out. Hail Satan.

Man every new post is making me itch. My artist had some health issues and we had to cancel my last session. Hoping he can tattoo again…not sure what the shop will do for me considering I’m at half a finished back piece

[EdH]

@iammortalcombat that sucks! Hopefully your guy will make a full recovery and be able to get back to your piece. If not, if it were me, I’d be asking for him to release his drawings and personal recommendation for another artist working in the same style who could pick it up.

@Oaktavia I've always been curious about blackout sleeves. For you personally, were you trying to cover up older/regretted art work, or did you just have this vision of white on black that you wanted to go through with?

A little bit of both. I am sleepy and would like to revisit this response.

Edit: the most recent blackout was a cover up crappy tattoos I got a long tome ago. I like the idea of layering tattoos over time. Plus I love the darkness the black ink provides.

Don't know how I missed this thread. Been working on a body suit for years now. Had to take a break from my new 888s for a few days while my left leg was healing up last week!

Been meaning to add to this thread and when I saw leg sleeves I figured I better chime in.
This one is in progress, just had more work done yesterday.
One more session for some details and last minute pieces to finish.

Awesome stuff @choco !
And much respect for that much blackwork on your thigh @Oaktavia , oof that spot is rough..looks great!

[Graham]

Blue snake looks soooooooo sick!

[Mizmazzle]

@choco hell yeah man!! How much more coverage until you’ve completed your suit??

[Mizmazzle]

@hbg1 this is sick, indeed!! I want to start my left leg soon. So far, apart from my left outer thigh, my legs are a blank canvas. Any part of the leg in particular that was more brutal…pain wise?

Got a tattoo in NZ on my honeymoon and I utterly messed up the aftercare and now will have to touch up most of it (a lot of color was washed away). But at least I can touch up! How long do I have to wait for a touch up? 4 months? The guy also used the wrong color--who thinks Winnie the Pooh is brown? But I blame myself for not asking that questions (BUT COME ON--BROWN?).

[Matt]

Maybe he thought you said Winnie the Poo.

@JerkStore Pics or it didn't happen...

@JerkStore How did you not catch and stop that?

[JerkStore]

@goosehd I caught it after he did the feet and it was too late. We discussed the purple color, but not the body color. SO it's my fault for sure. Will just get the whole thing touched up now instead of only part of it ha.

To be fair the base picture is at night time and it is definitely more brown than normal pooh.

@JerkStore I like tattoos that have a story behind them and would keep it the way it is.
