Yes I drew the line around the top and shaded inside of it to show how it would look :). Its good you mentioned this….as it’s given me plenty of time to work out how I would like to cap the top off .. and not just doing an arc around the top. Cheers for the great help as always 🙂
I have the rest of my arm design sorted out now and I’m exited about getting the rest of my arm completed. I’m planning on keeping everything black and grey.
On the inside of my arm I’m going to get a very detailed skull wearing a baseball cap with a gargoyle on the emblem and white flames coming up around it (this has a lot of meaning for me, prob the most important tattoo i’ll get).
To finish off the back of my arm, I’ll have a dragons head with detailed expression on his face and smoke coming out his nostrols on the back of my shoulder area and the body and foot/claw going down the back of my arm to join up with the skull on the inside of my arm. I’ll have a few flowers around it… not sure what ones yet, either a Lotus flower or Chrysanthemum and add some cherry blossoms.
I will wait longer for one of the best artists to get this done…as I would rather wait and get a awesome job. Going back in a few weeks to get this one finished off, I’m going to have a smaller lotus flower at the top behind the flames to finsh the top, and some shading in the bits that need finishing off.. the sides I will leave for the next tattoos to blend in.
Hope u like the ideas… have a good weekend 🙂
Just after some advice… its been about 10 days since I had my lastest tattoo.. and the skin where it was shaded heavily is like a wrinkly effect… its not like having folds in the skin but its like a shimmering effect where the skin seems to not be tight as the surrounding areas that werent shaded. If I gently pull the skin tighter with my finger it looks like it should look (before the tattoo) and the shimmering effect goes away and the tattoo looks clearer.
I’m hoping this will go back to normal again? I dont remember this happening when I had my dragon done.
If anyone can let me know if this is normal and just needs more time…that will help me to chill out.
Cheers 🙂
You are the sort of girl our mothers warned us about! :p
haha… I agree… we need more girls like Butterfly on here! 😀 :p
I just got back from having my latest tatoo….only 3 hrs this time…. and this was a whole different ball game!! I thought tattoo’s were not that painful.. I have already had 8hrs before of tattoo’ing and they really werent that bad to be fair…I sat 6hrs last time and could have done another 6hrs. I thought I had some kind of super powers until I had this one! lol.
This was only 3hrs today and luckily my time ran out and he called it a day! On the inside of my arm/armpit area and I can tell you.. it bloody hurt at times.. I still have more to do in the arm pit! not looking forward to getting that finished of lol.
I decided to keep my whole upper arm along the same theme of black and grey Japanese/Chinese traditional design.
I am still in the wraping as only just got back… its pretty sore..but I’m happy with it :)… lot more to do yet. I’m having a skull … another Lotus flower that has flames coming out of it.. and some swirly bits still to come..
I thought it would be nice to tell you about my Buddha, as i didnt explain much about it. The Buddha I have is called The Emerald Buddha, it is kept in ‘The Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the Grand Palace in Bankok. The reason it is called the Emerald Buddha is because it was thought that it was made of Emerald but later found it was made of Jade and then covered in Gold and very stunning looking and dates back to 47bc.
The word ‘Buddha’ translates to ‘The Awakened One’.
Here is a picture of the Buddha.
I’ll be going back in 2 weeks to have the buddha’s head dress completed and will look nicely finished with the same style head dress as seen in the pic. I drew in on myself to see how it will look completed and it will look pretty nice… so looking forward to this. The Buddha is believed to bring wisdom and protection.

KJD2121, why are you ruining my thread by posting all your tattoo pictures on my page? :confused: I havent put all my pics on your page?
Guys, I was just looking at asking for your feedback on a idea I have for the back of my arm to finish off the top half…
I drew something up… and stuck it on… what you think?
Hey.. I didnt do a full day today so I got to watch the England world cup game 🙂 I did 3 hrs finishing off bits here and there… it still needs around 3-4 hrs to finish everything but I did get the outline of my Geisha done today.. oh and I had the armpit worked on for over 1hr continous.. and that was the worst area for pain I have had done so far and its quite sore at the minute.. looking forward to it healing in a week….but thank fook thats all done now…its all the easy stuff left now 😎
Here’s a pic of the Geisha.. it was had to take a pic..as its right on the back of my arm.. cant wait to finish off my whole upper arm….after 1 more sitting 🙂
p.s anyone lookin through at the progress pics….all the Tiger and Fish tattoos are not mine.. 😉
