    That is going to be a cracker …
    What was the inspiration? Was it your own design?

    cheers mate.

    its my own design and is kind of my pictoral interpretation of a quote from a poet named Virgil…

    ‘It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one’s steps to the upper air – there’s the rub, the task.’

    this quote stuck out to me as to how relative it was to my own life.

    thank you. im looking forward to the completed piece too! got massive amounts of trust with my artist (dave bryant @ evil from the needle) so sure he’s gonna make it even better then what it is now.
    outlining took 3 hours. still got a bit to do on the underside of my arm and thinking along the lines of more mountains and clouds but like dave said there’s no rush and we’ll come to it later.

    thanks for the comment.
    i’m getting more and more excited for the next sitting. however im not going to know when that is till probably sometime in the first week of jan…boooo 🙁
    but for some weird reason im really enjoying the aftercare moments. seem to be treating the tattoo like a child, i guess i really don’t want to see it getting spoiled by poor aftercare…

    lol…well this initial stage of the tattoo had been booked in since august this year!! only got it started on the 12th december!…i guess due to all the time i know i’ll be waiting till its complete is probably why im very paranoid over the aftercare.

    hello mate 🙂

    well i finally got a booking in again and this sunday i’m in for 2 1/2 hours. my artist seems to be booked up forever!! lol! i’ll have some updates and more pics come sunday afternoon/evening.
    unsure at the moment what the plan is for this sitting, but i’ll be letting the artist know about my ideas of mountains and clouds for the underside of my arm so possibly may start that or begin the shading.

    You’re so brave to have something so huge as a 1st tattoo, mine started small and grew to a half sleeve, i wouldnt have dared to get it all done in one go lol

    How did you feel the pain the 2nd time around ? For some reason the more times i get tattooed the more it hurts 🙁 is it the same for anyone else ?
