      Been meaning to add to this thread and when I saw leg sleeves I figured I better chime in.
      This one is in progress, just had more work done yesterday.
      One more session for some details and last minute pieces to finish.

              @hbg1 this is sick, indeed!! I want to start my left leg soon. So far, apart from my left outer thigh, my legs are a blank canvas. Any part of the leg in particular that was more brutal…pain wise?

                Got a tattoo in NZ on my honeymoon and I utterly messed up the aftercare and now will have to touch up most of it (a lot of color was washed away). But at least I can touch up! How long do I have to wait for a touch up? 4 months? The guy also used the wrong color--who thinks Winnie the Pooh is brown? But I blame myself for not asking that questions (BUT COME ON--BROWN?).

                  Maybe he thought you said Winnie the Poo.

                          @goosehd I caught it after he did the feet and it was too late. We discussed the purple color, but not the body color. SO it's my fault for sure. Will just get the whole thing touched up now instead of only part of it ha.

                          To be fair the base picture is at night time and it is definitely more brown than normal pooh.

                            @JerkStore I like tattoos that have a story behind them and would keep it the way it is.

                              I don't disagree, but I just prefer a story other than "the artist fucked up and here I am." So I'll do a touch up for the purple and add yellow to the brown to correct the coloring.

                              But Pooh is my 2 year old son's favorite character right now and it's to always remember this time of his life.

                                @JerkStore Adding yellow to brown is only going to make it a slightly lighter brown. It will never be yellow.

                                  @jskidder I've heard it should work fine. Regardless, yellowish brown is going to be better than dark brown as is. Mixing brown and yellow just makes it a darker yellow.

                                      @Mizmazzle stomach on both sides since I'll have a split down the middle (munewari). and a I have about a 13x7 rectangle of open space on my butt that needs to connect my back piece and the back of my legs. I put all the worst parts off for last 😖

                                          The back of the knee was kinda gross, the lining on my kneecap was unpleasant too because I have a bony knee and the skin is so thin. The kneecap was the only time I have had bruising as well.

                                          I think this past visit with work on my inner thigh was by far the worst though, just some tough soft spots and I was so glad when it was done 😂
