Tattoos

Pete! Wow! Excellent. Thanks man for the pics. So cool and inspirational. I absolutely love the work. Very well done. It is that level of artistry that I am going for. Stewart, I knew you would have at least one! And Till, I definitely hear you. The thing is, I have been planning this tattoo for months. I was joking when I said the jeans made me do it. I researched and interviewed artists, found one that "got" my vision and will only settle for a true work of art. This is not some simple body decoration for me. I collect contemporary american art and each year, for my birthday, I commission a new piece from an artist I admire and respect. This year I decided to commission a piece from a tattoo artist with my body as the canvas. Oh, and Dr. Pat, I did google Tattoo Regret and read a lot of postings. Ricochet, thanks for the advice. You got a pic of your sleve? I would love to see it. Thanks everyone. I knew I would get an ear full here. Glad to get it.

ricochet, thanks for sharing! That's a cool sleeve. I like the tears and the rose. And I checked out the link to the French artist (thanks Stewart). Wow. I think it's a bit too modern for me. But it's interesting to see the medium evolving. Not too long ago it was just skulls and anchors. Now it is really becoming an art form to be reckoned with. I go on Friday. Am starting to freak out. Yipes!

Well, I got it on Friday. Took 2.5 hours to do the outline. Go back in two weeks for the fill in. Hurt like hell. I'll post a pic when there is more to show. Right now it's just an outline. But I'm happy with it. Still a bit freaked out, but overall happy. Thanks again all you guys for the support, advice and pics.

Nice. I've known Bert for several years, and he's always been a super nice guy…

Resurfacing of this thread made me find this picture.
I did this sleeve on a good friend of mine many years ago, and a few months ago we did some touch up on it before his wedding. Look close and you'll notice he's rocking IH-634SR, IHB-01 and a IH cordovan wallet. (And the tattoo is pretty heavy duty Japanese as well…)
He's not on the forum, but has a very healthy IH collection going...
