Photo of my arm and torso tattoos. This was taken back in 2009 when they were still fresh. Oh, and that's a pork pie hat, not a fedora

[twin]

@Oaktavia That's a lot of tattoos. How old are you at this time?

[Oaktavia]

@twin I was 20 or 21 years old I think at the time of that photo.

finished the background, holy smokes that was again a lot of pain ‍ had to quit before he could finish the Tigerstripes …., but nothing to be ashamed of ️

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel-San looks fantastic and yeah bro no kidding torso tattoos hurt immensely.

@Daniel-San The stomach has always made me tap after a few hours, certainly no shame! Also that is a beautiful piece!

Hard to get the whole thing into one pic. Thoughts on this new one?

[Matt]

I like that skull.

[Nik]

@Matt thanks yeah me too. The same artist did the stairs and archway and I went in not knowing what I wanted and walked out not knowing if I like what I’ve got

[Matt]

It’s good stuff. I approve.

While my sessions rarely start with the vision I originally had in mind, I’ve learned to fully surrender to the process. I trust his eye over my own expectations. As I always tell people: Polak gives you the tattoo you need, not just the one you wanted.

I had a tattoo applied by a drunk Irish guy over 30 years ago. He was great...but inebriated... I put up with it for about twenty years. I've always said - if you're going to get a tattoo don't ever start regretting it. Anyway, about seven years ago I asked for a cover up job. You've always got to go bigger! ...and it is so addictive, the pleasure and pain Here's some of it in process.

@Makarwise Looks good, but you've got to show us what was being covered up now!

[Makarwise]

@EdH that will take a little searching... but yeah, it'll be somewhere. It was another snake and a bit of celtic work (a simple flash). I was 30, newly divorced and needed to do a bit more research!

[Makarwise]

@EdH

This is the best I can find. It really was shit... but he was really pissed

[scarfmace]

Thats a great cover up!

[EdH]

@Makarwise I'm not going to disagree with you about the first snake. Fantastic cover up.
