I assumed half sleeve meant it covered half the arm in length, to be a “sleeve” sould have to wrap the entire arm around whether half the length or not.

Cant figure out how to embed it.

Looks real good. Only thing that looks like it could have been done better is the card. Looks out of focus sort of. Also is the J supposed to be backwards?

That is bad ass!

make a photobucket account. upload it there then post the img code into here.

My wife likes most of mine. She doesnt like the reason i have one but as far as the over all appeal she gives them a thumbs up. She will be getting one on her ribs next month which i completely approve of!

I like it! Will it have eyes, or is the no eyes an intentional thing?

Finishing my sleeve obviously. And next month putting a key hole on a heart i have on the inside of my bicep.

Thanks for the compliments and criticisms. Im very excited about how its turning out so far, I too can see the finished product in my head and am extremely excited about it. Cant wait to get back in the chair for sure!

Got started on the water.

HAHA as far as i know there are not any koi in the Gulf of Mexico, so figured best to keep them out. The artist has a strong influence and preference for Asian oriented tattoos which shows in the waves but I think its a great representation of what i wanted.

No definitely not, the fish i am hoping definitely make a change for the more realistic once we have more than just outlines.

Yeah i did notice that the legs of the platform are a little off as they go lower, hopefully we can get it a little better looking with shading and coloring.
