Well I got my first tat a week ago today and still love it every time I walk by a mirror. Took 2 hours to get most of the outline done. I still have 1 more rose to put above the fist then just a bit of red in the roses and the small leaves will be green, the rest is shading. I wouldnt mind incorporating 2 swallows and eventually a full sleeve. I dunno would you call this a half sleeve ? Anyway tell me whatcha think ! Oh and the banner reads “No thorn will pierce my armor”.

Pretty nice, if you think it looks good now wait until its finished.

Yeah I’d call that a half sleeve, is there anything on your underarm though?

Yeah thats why I was hesitant to call it a half sleeve cause theres nothing under there yet. Theres going to be a swallow sitting on one of those jagged stems under there. Thanks for the compliment.

Once you get the underneath side done it will be considered a full half sleeve (I have one as well)

Really cool lookin tatt. Keep us posted, I’d like to see the end result….should be really sweet

Thank a lot guys.

Sometimes I let stuff get to me to easy that would make me angry, basically its just a reminder to keep tough skin. Let stuff go. The thorns being peoples actions or comments and the armor being me/my personality and the way I feel about things. Pretty much not to let other people affect me or what I do.

That is a great way to look at it.

I think a lot of us would say the same. I do, but then again, I have a FTW attitude these days (which I know is not healthy but it’s the way I am)

Having a “For The Win” attitude isnt un healthy at all. jk I know what you mean. Is that you in your display pic ? You got some serious ink.

Did you ask about our opinions on your design earlier this year? I quite distinctively remember a thread about a similar idea and the pictures made me recall that instantly.
EDIT: Remembered that correctly: http://www.thetattooforum.com/need-some-help-my-sleeve-pleaseee-t13690.html

Nice start, this will be beautiful once it is finished. I am happy for you that your idea turned out so well.
