wait til you are in your late 40's! Then you feel no pain. No just kidding…
Hooper has some wicked designs, very personal style. I hope you will share pix when your sleeve is finished.

Currently I have 2 tattoos, one of my Yia Yia (greek for grandma) name in greek on my upper right arm.  The other is a ship, though I am turning it into a sleeve starting december 3rd. Post pictures of finished product.

I've been thinking about getting the four bars logo from Black Flag over my ellbow for a while now. Still undecided, as it would be my first tattoo…

I say go for it, but dont make it too big. Why?You're likely going to get addicted to this shit and will want more stuff on your skin, and you gotta make sure that the following tattoos will be in harmony with that first one if that first one is BIG and kinda dictates how the rest will look and feel. If it is smaller, less real estate is taken, less influence on the rest, etc…
