Tattoos

@Joberwocky a man after my own heart - my existing sleeve is B&W linework (though I may colour it in down the line…) but the right arm is going to be full of popping colour. Unfortunately my guy's books are such that I have to wait until January to get started too, and couldn't get a full day with him until June! Still, that's a good sign, I'd stick with that shop if I were you.

Glad your healing is going well, I look forward to seeing the end result. (And your next one... and the next... ;))

I'm about to go in for a 5-6 hour session for my upper arm to completely black it out. I had my lower arm done a few months ago and it was brutally painful. The artist uses a 39 mag which means 39 needles that amount to half an inch in width. I'm so nervous and terrified lmao but we did my elbow ditch last time which was the worst part. I'm not looking forward to the shoulder and near armpit or the elbow. Wish me luck pls…

Also I got two blast overs yesterday. Halloween themed.

Diggin this thread!! I love to travel and have got almost all my work done in the other countries i've traveled to. Since Covid, obviously that has been curtailed. Now that things are basically opened back up in most places, we've got a trip to Italy planned next summer! Been in talks with a few shops in Rome already. Found some incredible artists there!! Can't wait to get some work done! It's been about 4 years since I've gone under the gun!!!

@Oaktavia BRO!!! That pit of the elbow…phew....making me sweat just thinking about it haha...39 mag!! Yee Gatz!! No pain no gain!! When I had my left arm sleeve done the pit of the arm was the hardest for me. Even the inside of the forearm was brutal...

I had my ribs done on my last travels to India. I almost grabbed that tattooer by the throat and screamed, "I hate you, you fucking whore!!!"

Other than that, I love getting worked on hahaha

Holy shit

I love the Charlie B Halloween one.  I’ve been wanting a Spike tat.  We drove through Needles, CA which is where he lives.  They have a billboard there when you enter town declaring it the Home of Spike.

Horrifying pain

[Mizmazzle]

So much ink

[Oaktavia]

Phew! Definitely an incredible experience of pain. I hated it! But love the outcome.

That come out dope!!! I dig how the black wraps around the sunflower at you wrist!!

My sleeve is so dark and thick. One day it will probably end up looking like black out.

My two favorite feelings are looking forward to a tat on tat days and immediately after the last stab. The time in between sucks ass.

Thanks man I'm really happy with how it turned out. So glad the hard part is over. Have you posted photos of.you sleeve(s?) on here?

[Mizmazzle]

I haven’t posted any of my sleeve or any of my tats for that matter. Maybe I’ll have a photo sesh one day. Very excited to get this next one though. Still about 8 months out. But I’m psyched.

@octavia did you just grow tired of how your arm was, or is there more to it?

[Oaktavia]

Both I suppose. I've always loved the look of a full black sleeve and the door remains open for layering on top a third time with white line work. At this point though I'm fried.

Looks like I missed all the fun last month. Fucking hell @Oaktavia that looked brutal…

Amazingly solid though.

@Oaktavia:

I really hope that topless guy wasn't your artist… That'd be... well it would be something...
