    @nameness:

    Finn….  find a good artist & talk to them.  Figure out what means the most to you and work out the details.  If the artist isn't willing to take the time with you, then find another one who is.

    Do not rush into anything.  I know it's hard not to but it's something worth taking your time with.  Trust me, I found that out the hard way.

    I know sometimes it's hard to edit down the ideas.  Trust me, though...  once you get your first you'll want your second almost immediately.

    Enjoy the process and good luck!

    thx a lot mate, i def. will keep this in mind and i def. will let you guys know as soon as all is said and done, how my tattoo looks like (will take a few more months though!)…
    thanks

      he speaks the truth.  once you start its hard to stop.  don't go straight for your chest.  chances are you'll start getting tattooed more and find an artist that you want to do something big on you.  thats what happened with me and thomas hooper.

      joke/road trip tattoos are always a good idea in my opinion though hahaha.

        think about it from a real estate perspective, you've only got so much space on your skin.

        my first tattoo was a half sleeve with a half chest piece.  i don't regret it but it definitely takes up a lot of real estate, especially since i don't plan on getting anything below my waist.

          Just hit SF for a quick trip to drop off some pants at SE for hemming, buy some art books in Japantown and Chinatown, and get this finished.
          It goes down much further, but you'll just have to use your imagination…

                          Kahlil Rintye at Tattoo City in North Beach.

                          It was started by my friend Horishow in Tokyo (when I made that 1st trip several years ago to get tattooed is when I got introduced to Japanese clothing companies and their philosophies), but Kahlil is finishing it for me…

                          Also Riff, note the teaser beard growth update in that pic...

                            It looks great Katsushin, love the way the colors are done.
                            Is it a Hannya mask?

                            I have a pretty large backpiece myself, i'll remind myself to post some pics of it here.

                                  Yup.
                                  (A lot of westerners see it as a devil face, but it is a very old mask from the Japanese Noh plays…and it's a female.)

                                          Looking at tattoos gone wrong is a bad idea when you're waiting for your first tat.  😠
