Yes for the most part. I have some space on top of my shoulders below my neck, space on my hips and a little background areas on my stomach but that's it. Oh and my lower buttocks/upper back thighs that I have been putting off or might just not do entirely. I don't have my armpits, that is where I draw the line.

There's a pun to be found here given the context, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

@Oaktavia sounds like it’s been a wild ride! Mostly trad?

[Oaktavia]

@seawolf I have all kinds of weird tattoos but not too many traditional stuff other than my head. That is more custom traditional style. My back piece is in Japanese traditional style. Everything else is just random as hell depending on what year it was from. My right arm is completely blacked out. I have a deviled egg somewhere, I'd have to find it.

After:

This tattoo was done ten years ago by someone who didn't know wtf they were doing. For all of those years it hid under my hair until recently when I began tattooing the rest of my head. One of the artists in the shop saw the pitiful snake during a session and said he could fix and finish it. Today meant a lot to me as it has now finally been completed after so much time. I hated that tattoo for so long and now I am overjoyed.

With that said, it fucking hurt so GD badly. Holy moly for real 10/10 pain from behind the ear to the back of the head. Horrible, horrible pain. The face area was not so bad believe it or not. But back of the head by the brain stem was brutal torture. I highly recommend staying far away from this area unless you are a tattoo obsessed freak like yours truly.

@Oaktavia that looks amazing man. I know you’re relieved to have it look how you imagined it. I have a few that need some help. I can’t imagine that back of the head pain. You’re a beast for sitting through that.

@ZackB it definitely feels good to have it done. Hope you get yours done too and move on to the next one.

@Mister_Brue Ask and you shall receive!

It all started out as a bit of a joke, we went to Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen in 2023 and I told my wife if she saw anyone doing pizza slice flash I would do it, she found someone doing it, then from there I had the great idea of an MSG tattoo and now its spiralled, I have a list of things including:

1. Gilda Pintxo
2. Xiao Long Bao
3. Mortadella log
4. Tomato
5. Cantillon logo on a tumbler (beer)
6. Whole roasted lechon on a spit
7. King Crab
8. Chartreuse bottle
9. Hawkins cheesey
10. Pate en croute

etc etc
