Tattoos

@Matt:

In all honesty if you’re just doing your arm then there’s nothing to worry about. Wrists and elbows hurt but the rest of the arm is about as good as it gets. My back sessions and ribs were tough but the rest is cake.
As long as there’s good music on you’ll be aces.

It only hurts while it hurts.

For me the armpit hurt like a motherfucker though!

Yeah +1 on the armpits, they sucked for me

Very cool @LewisStonehouse

[LewisStonehouse]

@EdH thanks man

[jerkules]

@LewisStonehouse fuck yeah! This thread is inspiring me to get tatted again - it’s been a long time. How the hell does anyone with an IH addiction have the spare cash, that’s what I want to know 

[LewisStonehouse]

@jerkules I’ve been quite good so far this year with IH, only picked up two shirts 

[nietenhosen]

IH 666-19L - more than a bottom.

[Matt]

Bro, lease tell me that’s how you wear your tshirts normally and of so please get back to a more regular posting regimen.

[nietenhosen]

Normally not, you asked me to show tattoos…
I'll do my best, mate.

@LewisStonehouse I didn't get a chance to say (so many folks so much to discuss) during the IHHH thst your hands look sick! Did you get them both on the same day?!

Here are mine

Flowers are 9-10 years old, Jack o' lantern is 8 years and black mamba was 4 years ago. I tattooed all the black on my fingers and most of my wrist hand poked over several months. Symbols I got in my 20s so 10-15 years ago.

Lots of work done yesterday, but I provided a slightly larger canvas than he had anticipated, and some characters needed to be shrunk slightly to be the correct scale, so we have some space to fill. Also thinking of putting Helios (the Greek sun god) on the top, riding his chariot across the sky, to cap the shoulder. He should be able to squeeze me in for a couple of hours without the 12-month wait a whole day's session took!

Thanks for the advice everyone on surviving a full day session. Sweets definitely helped when I was flagging in the later evening.

Turned out well, looks great

[EdH]

Thanks @Nkwkfld !

Jesus H @EdH  That's a super sick sleeve. I rly like the collective vision of you and your artist with this one.
