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”.
Jimmy.
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
Thanks, got to wait till im back from Cali before I finish her. It will be done in January though.
that is some SOLID work there dude !
I dig the design definitely, and once the half sleeve if finished it’s gonna be really badass.
Very nice man!
Looking forward to seeing it finished.
What inspired that piece?
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.
lol I WISH. But alas, no. All my ink is in my profile. Altho I need to get a few new pics of the ones that turned out really small. I will be gettin those tomorrow.
I agree with everyone else, looks awesome, colours are really gonna make this an even more killer piece 🙂
looks great and love the thoughts behind it! x

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.
