This is the first tattoo that I got. I love it and am very happy with it, just wondering what anybody else thinks or if anybody has any opinions on it?

thanks!! 😀

its irish and in old irish writing. it says … tír gan teanga tír gan anam= a country without a language is a country without a soul 🙂 Its an old Irish saying. I wnated to get something to mark how it was important to me and thouhgt this was an appropriate phrase, and also the irish symbol of the claddagh standing for love loyalty and friendship 🙂

No, it was all done at the one time alright. Ya, I get what you mean. To be fair, I think a certian amount of it is the camera/ photo, but I suppose it cannot be blamed fully….

With reference to what L3arn1ng 2 7a77o0 said. Are the hands and the heart not done in grey as opposed to the rest which is in black?

Really nice piece by the way, love the idea of the text and I think it fits perfectly where it is! 🙂

That’s beautiful! And yes, it does look like the middle bit has been done a shade lighter.

I wouldn’t worry about the difference in the middle and the outside. The hard curves of the tribal looks great darker and the middle design needs that shaded look. The whole thing suits and looks great!

thanks a million! 😀 most of what i was getting form people was woah, thats big for a first tattoo! and no other comments after that lol, Idont think it is, n sure even if it is so what?

I am so glad I found a decent artist! My cousin gets hers done by the guy that did this! I nearly got it done by another guy, then saw him absolutely destroy some poor guys shoulders with a dodgy tattoo without him even realising. Felt so sorry for him, it was a huge one like…….
