Looks great but, it may just be me, your chrysanthemum has been shaded incorrectly, I’ve done a quick paint job in what I mean.

Nice colours though, we’ve gone for the same on our Chrysanthemums it seems

I got my last tattoo done nearly three weeks ago as well, and I have just the same thing. But I did A LOT of black, and the places that bled the most, are def. taking some longer time to heal.
I’ve had the same problem before, sometimes even with no apparent reason. But it always goes away 🙂 Just don’t pick on it, keep it…[Read more]

I sit for 6 and a half hours each session on sleeve.

1) I have the money to do so
2) The pain isn’t too bad for me, its the third or fourth colour it gets real uncomfortable.
3) Youre going to experience the pain anyway, may as well get the most you can out of a session.

Pandoras, yeah as far as my current shading goes, the parts in question did take a good going over.

Fair point too Knight, I’ll knock some up tomorrow.

Second session today after a long wait, results look good!

What if i cover it with long sleeves durring like interviews and stuff, and if I get the job, ask if i have to keep it covered at times (which i wouldnt mind doing. so many people have to wear suits to work anyway). I mean as a teacher, it’s not as strict. I could do like oxfords, sweaters, and such like that. Do you have…[Read more]

Youll have a difficult time finding a job in a high school as a teacher if you have a 3/4 sleeve in my opinion.

Parents can be a tad irrational when it comes to their children (with good reason I might add) and for that you can expect to have your job offered up to countless other people who have no visible tattoos.

Because of a stigma attached…[Read more]

I’m sure theres definitely ways to add that in. Look a bit into japanese mythology and folklore especially for things that could represent your children, momotaro and kintaro come to mind, but dig around.

A samurai tattoo I’d assume would be to represent all of the characteristics of a Samurai through the “bushido” code which are, loyalty, honor, courage, honesty, strong sense of justice and benevolence. Possibly others I cant recall off the top of my head. So in that respect I’d say it fits a “guardian” role.

Im not sure where you can go with the logos but im sure a talented artist could work it into a biomech sleeve or cover it up in a biomech style?

Should be fine once your stretch mark has fully healed (silverish colour) allowing your tattooist to cover it. I have both my inner biceps full of the bastards and I can’t say mine were from body building either, moisturising and using bio oil or any other alternative is a good preventative but if you lift or gain and lose constantly they will occur..

Just regulate your breathing and you wont be too bothered by the small amount of pain.

Youve gotta wait until November too? Me too. It’s a bastard waiting that long.

It looks real nicely done, I cant wait to see it after the next session

I would get to the weight you want then get your tattoo or talk to an artist about it. It will change if you put on loads of weight or lose loads of weight as is the case with pregnant women and tattoos on the stomach however, that is an extreme example.

1 stone is 14lbs.

Interesting, anymore examples of B&G to colour tatts? Thanks for yours Vizzie, looks good!

Nice work 😎

Funny you posted in my thread. I dig the purple colour you have on the flowers in your Hanya cover, I’m leaning towards a similar sort of colour in one of my Chrysanthemums.

Nice to know it’s given you the fever eeva. Can’t wait till I get some colour in this sucker.

There will be colour on the fu dog and chrysanthemums, the water. Artist is Neil from abody.

And to update you guys, just had the first session. Here are some pics.
