      finally started on my leg…had the first session 2weeks ago, today (as I type) we're finishing it! 🙂

      dot work is happening

      more pics when we're done! 😘

      oh, and of course I'm wearing my favourite Ano socks! 😉

      Ouch, feeling the pain and hearing that needle in my brain!!
      Had my first and at the moment only tattoo done around two years ago, drew it myself from a painting I had done to mark a significant time in my life and went large, four hours work and I love it… Thinking of designing my second to go on my other thigh, just am a coward around the pain...

        I've got the itch for something, been around 4 years since my last. There's 2 things I've joked about for years, 1 is a taco or burrito on my ass, the other is some form of Tokyo Banana (either Rawr or Cherry). All stupid ideas but all I've really had. Will let the itch scratch until something bubbles….

            @snowy yes I would let it keep on bubbling until you scratch that itch.. [emoji57]I am almost there with a bird of paradise but it's intricate and large so it's going to hurt..

              Yeah, I won't be rushing it, have until at least winter, so at least 6 months, and may wait another year if not totally decided.

                            tough as fuck.  tough spot too.  i got the upper chest and the stomach.  hows the connecting part?  i'm probably gonna fill in that spot at some point.

                            im guessing its brutal.

                            here's my back piece that i continued working on today

                                Takes me back to having my elbow tattooed. It fucking sucked big time!

                                One of my mates is currently getting a rock of ages from his neck to his naval. Hes also had both knees done, one full leg and a full arm sleeve and he says that the chest sucks more than any other area. The tattooist wven drew over his nipples.

                                  Strange, I found the legs far worse than the chest (though I can only speak for the upper part). The first session took me 9 hours and it felt better than 3 hours on the legs. But I also feel like it depends much on the mood and daily condition.

                                        I saw a cool concept for a Memento Mori tattoo today, based on the skull in Holbein's Ambassadors.

                                            I think a lot more can depend on the artist as well though. My chest was cake aside from a couple places over my sternum and up next to my collar bone. My back was a different story, half was pretty easy (my neck was actually in bad shape and needed surgery through it), but the rest was laid in by a gentleman that I swore was using a butter knife to hammer ink in. No abdomen or leg pieces to compare to it, yet. However parts of my arms were as bad as anything on my chest.
