I like it. One session? How long did you sit?

One long sitting about 7 1/2 hours of just tattooing plus almost 3 more of prepping

Here’s another perspective. And yeah it was one long sitting about 7 1/2 hours including 3 hours of prep.

Its well done, cool piece. I agree with Buttwheat about some colors but overall it’s very solid. Not very often do you a see a traditional piece on this forum, don’t expect much love.

I’m from danbury/brookfield. i went to Leo at The Art Club in new milford.

In New Milford there’s Skin Deep with Mark Duhan, that’s a good shop.

Are you willing to travel at all maybe an hour or two for something that is for life?
The proportion is off on the links from one to another in his attempt to show depth, the shading and saturation are poorly done I don’t think it is just your tattoo I think it is his skill level but good choice not going to the crackhead,…

I’m from CT, I missed who the artist was that did this? I can definitely recommend good artists in the state, where abouts are you from?

Nice, I have an appointment with him in January.

Cool looks good. The sword tip looks a bit broad to me but overall great looking piece.

I agree. I like the tattoo and the design and I especially like the tiger head but I think the sword could have been designed better. Good stuff though.

Traditional has really grown on me. I didn’t like it too much before, but now I want to cover my body with traditional and new-traditional. Can’t stand realism though. I like my tattoos to last! ;D
I think her work looks solid!

I’m pretty much the same and although I love my one realism tattoo I’m not sure I’d get more.

It’s actually mostly traditional American tattooing and done fairly well.

I actually have more of an altered 3D “heartagram” type thing on my chest and it has nothing to do with HIM, it also has meaning as an adoption symbol. Mine is also well done, too, though.

Eh I guess I have no need to. I love B/G, but in a neo traditional look I think the color pieces look way better. I like b/g for realistic looking pieces, but I prefer color for traditional or neo traditional tattoos. He’s had all sorts of ideas, but left off talking about getting a rose compass and a sun in b/g, seems…

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Too transparently funny.

thanks so far so good!
Do I get any points since he only did shading on the insides of my arm/bicep. 🙂

I’ve been afraid to get ink on my inner bicep, there’s something I want there but I admit I’ve purposely avoided the area. Your tattoo is looking good so far, though, most of the line work is very clean.

Nice tattoo.

Here’s my Gil Elvgren pinup done by Shane O’Neill. The first pic is half fresh/half healed and the second is the tattoo about 3 years later. I’m due to update my other tattoos with healed pictures too. Most artists also like being sent pics of the healed work.

Umh…that’s excellent, good for you man. And on a total random side note I’m also glad you said you were “excited” and not “stoked.” Damn I hate that word for some reason.
