      @Mizmazzle first session was about 3.5 hours of actual tattooing and we did all the outlines. Session 2 was 2.5 hours of actual tattooing and we did the entire eagle. The goal is to do one whole anima, each session. Next one will likely be the Snake. Steve is super fast, and very efficient, which makes for a great time.

        @DeeDee85 keeping it as traditional as much as possible. Reds, yellows, greens, and black. Steve did a color treatment when he was prepping for it. It was nice and simple and really popped. I’ll post more after my next session.

            @Mizmazzle I also have hairy arms and I don't shave them to make the tattoos more visible. I like the natural, muted look more and hate the time when the tattoos look brand new. I think the hair helps with that and also I don't have the time to constantly shave my arms 😃

              @Mizmazzle There's no way I could be arsed to shave my arms. And my various moultings clog the shower drain enough as it is without me adding to the clog. Thankfully I'm not quite hairy enough that my tats are obscured.

              Take the dive...

                @EdH I hear ya there. I guess it ebbs and flows for me. I like how clean the tat looks when there isn’t a bunch of thick hair…but I too don’t make much time to shave my arms. Just recently have been giving it a go and like the look.

                In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                  I shave too , using a electric body groomer to prevent getting cut. But I don’t like body hair in general. So for me it’s no only because of the tattoos.

                    @Daniel-San nice! I'd imagine we move slightly faster than the average Joe due to less wind resistance.

                        @jerkules Welcome to the Dragon Club! This is at least the 3rd dragon tattoo posted here this year - 4 if you also include my sons’ dragon tattoo. Wear it in good health!

                                    @alexxedge thanks man! I feel lucky to have found a studio who specialise in the exact style of tattoos I like fairly locally. They have good rates, tonnes of flash, and are solid dudes to spend a day with.

                                      Good amount of tattoos, not completely covered but enough that I don’t know how many lol. This Bart/lisa one is my most recent, from back in July when my sister and niece was visiting from Maine. Got us matching sibling tattoos, we got another match years back for our uncle Dave RIP. Most my work is done by my friend/tattoo artist, haight street tattoo and piercing. Really great shop if anyone visiting sf, stop by and ask for Tyler . Itching get my hands done soon, and then start my back eventually.

                                        @jerkules great work! Very nicely executed. Are those both on the same arm?

                                          @meatmarketdenim1 nice man! My new school is super lax with the tattoo culture. I’ve mentioned to my wife getting my hands done. She loves tats. For some reason she hates the hands though. How rebellious am I feeling? That’s the question.
