            color will be added over multiple sessions.. Gonna give it three or four weeks before drilling back into it..

            How's the healing going el? Is the wife tired of lotioning you up yet? haha

              Pretty much healed up.. there is talk of going back into it Sunday..  :-\ 😢

              I'm a single dude these days, so any lotioning up will have to be done by myself.. haha

                    Pictures capture the event nicely! Is there specific symbolism behind them?

                    Lots of good work in this thread.

                      I have quite a lot of Japanese work , mainly stuff copied from Horyoshi iii , and I came across this picture which I will adapt a bit , just not sure if to make it a full back-piece or left chest or on my ribs ..

                      You only live once , if done properly then once is enough

                        well the "broken arrow" is from the indian culture and stands for peace and the shark teeth symbol, called "niho-peata" is from the polynesian culture and stands for sacrifice and dedication for the own family…

                                  Great piece. I like big pieces. My first was an 8 hour session in Dublin

                                    Ballsy. I've always loved that particular style ever since I saw the Sublime album cover. Very Cholo-esque.

                                      what place would you guys (the ones having a tattoo, the tattooing artists or all the others that don´t have any but are thinking about one!) recommend for having the first ink job done on your body!?…

                                      i´m planing on getting a tattoo for pretty long now, though i am still a bit undecided if i should get something done on my upper arm or instead of the arm, a nice chestpiece as my first tattoo...

                                      i think both spots are pretty dope and the motive i´ve chosen to get looks dope either on the chest or the arm, so yeah :-\

                                        I recall you mentioning in other posts about working in a professional environment (engineering I think?) so my advice would be anything that can be hidden by a golf-shirt. At least until you're well established. Yes long sleeve shirts can be worn to hide arm work but really not fun in the hottest summer heat.

                                        You can always get more over time, which I guarantee you will… addictive bastards they are. While it should not be the case, tattoo discrimination still exists in the workplace. Making the most out of your career and self fulfillment seems to me to be a greater goal than collecting ink. I say this as a person with multiple tattoos. Back, chest, half sleeve left arm and shoulder done on right. Starting back piece in October.  🙂
