Takes me back to having my elbow tattooed. It fucking sucked big time!
One of my mates is currently getting a rock of ages from his neck to his naval. Hes also had both knees done, one full leg and a full arm sleeve and he says that the chest sucks more than any other area. The tattooist wven drew over his nipples.

Strange, I found the legs far worse than the chest (though I can only speak for the upper part). The first session took me 9 hours and it felt better than 3 hours on the legs. But I also feel like it depends much on the mood and daily condition.

@bubbapest, your hannya mask back piece is something else - awesome :

I saw a cool concept for a Memento Mori tattoo today, based on the skull in Holbein's Ambassadors.

Stomach and spine sucks. Legs are kinda easy. Next step are the rips, I am feckin scared and shit my pants

I think a lot more can depend on the artist as well though. My chest was cake aside from a couple places over my sternum and up next to my collar bone. My back was a different story, half was pretty easy (my neck was actually in bad shape and needed surgery through it), but the rest was laid in by a gentleman that I swore was using a butter knife to hammer ink in. No abdomen or leg pieces to compare to it, yet. However parts of my arms were as bad as anything on my chest.

Finished my daggers yesterday
I think, legs are next, my left leg is 100% tattoo-virgin. -
But we still get more tattoos and more tattoos…

JCMx800 Like the look of your Tattoos. the colors are bright and it looks cool
Thanks, its a nice Instagram filter haha
@JCMx800, looking awesome sir, loving the colours and how well everything fits together. Nicely done!!
Did you have the same artist for everything or different ones. Apologies if you mentioned it already
Yes, I got luck, my first artist is my only artist, we became friends, visited concers, visited the Vater & Sohn shop… Good dude!!! He is now into Red Wings and Old Timer Mercedes, he just got a "new", picked it up in Hamburg from a ex-PIMP

Great shit, Jo!
I may get a large backpiece the next months…friday I'll meet the Artist. I must admit, I'm a bit scared because of the huge area it will cover...but then it won't change much, as my extremities are already inked.

I have some pretty awful tribals from the late 80s I'd like to have covered soon. I'm thinking of full sleeves and a back piece, preferably something Japanese, in multi color. What do you think of the ones I already have, any ideas of how to cover them?
-
hey bud
your tattoos are typical "badge" style tattoos that newcomers often "collect", and in their own right are ok. with hindsight, most people that i know have said "why didn't i just go for the whole sleeve / back piece?" so you are on the normal tattoo progression I would say.
regarding the cover up, i would seek professional advice from a tattooist who is going to do the work for you. your existing tattoos are fading so, i reckon, wouldn't present to much of a problem to cover.
keep us posted -
Thanks @denimhead, they are from late 80s, I guess you're right when saying I wasn't thinking too much about it back then. Tribals were the big thing in those days, after having them for 25 years I just want to start moving on.
I already oicked an artist, gonna go there next week to see what he will suggest.One thing I definitely wanna have is a samurai wearing full armor except a pair of IH denim

hey @Andreas1965, i'm liking the sound of an iron heart clad samurai
what i didn't say in my previous post was that i am also one of those guys that collected tattoos like badges only to later wish that I had also gone the whole hog. instead, i tried to develop my individual tattoos into more complete pieces by encouraging the tattoo artist to get creative. in my case this method didn't achieve the same results that an all out assault on your arms / front / back / legs etc, by way of a big complete coherent comprehensive piece, can and would deliver.

My artist has some Jugensünden, too. They (he and Fabian Nitz) embed the tribal and the cross into a pretty sick frontpiece. Thats a pretty honest way to deal with stuff like that.
