@JerkStore How did you not catch and stop that?
-
@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.

@hbg1 so sick!
-
@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

@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?
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
-
side of my knee was no fun, but as a whole it was pretty mild

@EdH I love when you get to that point with an artist. I used to get random phone calls saying a spot had opened up and wanting to know if I wanted it. Was able to finish my back in half the time it normally would.
When I started my sleeves and chest, I would do two time slots a day (4 hours - sometimes more) for an entire week. By the end of the week, I was spent...
-
@goosehd Yeah, it's nice to be viewed as a dependable customer happy to fill gaps in the diary, though that hasn't yet come up in my case... Which is why I think he's offered me part of the weekend as he know's I'm patiently waiting...
I promise I'm not bugging him, I just let his conscience do its own thing.

Here’s what we got done today:
A sparrow, serving as a reminder to be humble and to check your ego. Many of the stoics had something to say about this: reminders that you have something to learn from everyone, to listen more than you speak, etc. I like to remind myself that about 70% of people think they’re of above average intelligence… so someone’s wrong and it could be me.
A pair of cards: the worst possible hand in Texas Hold’em. You can’t control the cards you’re dealt, but you can control how you play them.
Similarly, the dice with their pips flying off - a reminder to let outcomes be what they will be. Once you take a chance, it’s out of your control, and you should aim to approach all possibilities with equanimity.
