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 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.

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 to tattoos I’d heavily consider getting it done and if you do, be very prepared to find another career.

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.

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..

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
