Seems you have already been helped with the picture issue, but I’d like to ask you to please stop posting in blue like that. It’s completely illegible on the black background and it’s actually causing me headaches trying to read it 🙁

No probs pal, just figured out that you can change skins, the black one looks cool as f*ck

This is what it looked like at the first attempt from a so called ‘experienced tattooist’, from a Studio before anyone asks!

Miami Ink has one good burnt out artist on it Garver, the show is for non-tattooed people to watch, the quailty of work being produced is mostly shit, the shop is fake, its about human nature stories

Good luck! Looking forward to the pics! Love your username and avatar! 🙂

Thanks, the username is something i’ve used (with slight varients) for the past 10 years or so. The Avatar is a photo of my 2 year old Beagle Ollie, he’s a bit pretentious wearing the glasses indoors, but I think he pulls it off 😎

When I turned 19 I got a tattoo of a Lion (black) to represent where I’m from (Joining the Royal Air Force, I wanted something to remind me of home) and the Football team I support (Soccer for the Spams lol) which was flash. Shortly after this I got 8 x Kanji on my left forearm (I’m a big fan of asian art still think Kanji is beautiful) then not long after that I had some flash stars arranged like my zodiac sign constallations and my zodiac sign (Cancer).

At the time I only knew of these kind of tattoos and though they where the dogs bollocks. Having seen many more different tattoo styles/custom designs, my eyes are open to a better way (IMHO) of getting a tattoo. I wound not say I regret getting them, but if i’d have know what was possible, I would have had something much different.

But I still believe flash designs are a good way to get an idea of what you would like (maybe with a few changes) and in some peoples cases will be exaclly what they are after. Each to their own!

Very cool! I like the look of the sun coming up over your shoulder. How was the marathon 5 hour session?

Thanks mate! 😮 It only worked out at 4 1/2 hours in the end once we had went mental with a Sharpie for a bit (All free hand, so we were working on a few different ideas).

We could have gone on but it was a good place to stop till next time. As far a time, it went fairly quick as I get on with both artists in the Studio (the other guy was doing a Robocop photo-realistic piece in colour, so I got on with his client too), so there is plenty of banter and I had my iPad with Marvel Zombie Comics on (highly recommeded to comic fans).

The more painful areas of the tattoo was the peoney (flower) on the tricep, the bonier (spelling?) parts of my shoulder and the dreded higlights 😡 lol I f*cking hate that bit (deep breaths and a few cuss words lol).

I’m booked in between Crimbo and New Year to try and finish the sun/clouds and hopefully the waves to join it all up (Koi, Geisha, Kanji, Foo Dog) to complete the sleeve.

One element we dicussed that I would like peoples opinion on, is in the sun, do a silhouette of a crane (heron) in either black or just leave the skin, thoughts?

One final point, how do I upload photos direcly in to a thread, I can’t seem to figure it out even after reading the FAQ’s :confused:.

Welcome…. I generally dislike foo dogs, but this forum may change my mind. I like the B&G dog.

Thanks! I’m gonna put a photo up of the original ‘attempt’ that this was a rework of.
