      Indeed, it became much less noticeable already. One last picture (for this step of evolution). I just love how the colours and lines look when they're new.

                ^And their bravery paid off, BIG TIME! Both those chest pieces are incredible.

                  Great artwork, Max…but I gotta ask, does the dude have any kind of significance to you? (i.e. is it a portrait of your grandfather/father?)

                    Finn, I will PM you 😉

                    @shoreman: First I must say, that I think  those tatto TV shows spolied people. You often here stuff like "well, my ma had cancer and when I was a kid, she showed me a peacock in the zoo and so I'm getting a peacock to show hr my support and love etc.". If you like an artwork just because it looks cool, go for it.

                    However, I have some stories regarding the chest.  I grew up literally in the woods (you can see that when I post pics visiting my parents), my dad owns a small forest and we were chopping trees together as kid. I love being outdoor and my escape fantasy is to one day live in canada. (My uncles also were hunters, my grandpa built furniture, but that wasn't what I had in mind, but it fits anyway).
                    So, when I saw a similar pic of Jonas Nyberg, I proposed to Annie to put all these stuff together on my chest. But the dude is no portarait or the like.
                    Sorry for long elaboration.

                      I have a policy never to ask people what their tattoos mean to them. I think it's super personal and something not often wished to share.  That's my opinion though.

                        after 3 months of getting my first tattoo done, I have to say that I really hate that question and often leave it un-answered since I think it's just silly…
                        and I'm with Flo (max power) on this one, not every tattoo has to have a personal meaning imo! if you just love the look of something, go for it! simple as that...

                          Thanks for the response, Flo.

                          So, I'm assuming by the sour replies that I committed some kind of tattoo faux-pas by asking the question I did?

                            No Fauxpas imo, some have a meaning, some not. 🙂

                                If I didn't want to share, I wouldn't have. But indeed, if you're tattooed you hear that question a lot and can get bummed out by that.

                                  not at all mate! and my reply really wasn't meant to sound sour or anything like that…sry if it did!
                                  btw. iirc, I think you wanted to get sth. done on yourself, right?

                                    Finished the red. Got the other one to finish then the line work for the rest of it begins. Probably won't do that until Fall 13. Not fully healed, skin feeling quite battered from the past few months work.

                                    Heres my right shoulder. Not sure if I posted this before.

                                          Nice work guys!  the owl, dragons, snake all looking good.

                                          Go elclintor!  Took me 2 years to get through my back piece.  Was a true test of my will, was tough timing those healings.  Outline took 8 hours in one sitting 😶
