Well Its definitely time to get back into the chair. Im having a hard time getting my thoughts and ideas onto my arm ! I know I want some swallows, a skull and some more roses incorporated. Im just not sure how to tie it all in ? Maybe a skull sitting in a bed of roses with the swallows sitting on top of the skull ? Also id like to fill in…[Read more]

fuckin rad, im diggin it.

haha in no way does the german eagle have anything to do with nazism or white supremacy. Thats like saying a tattoo of a cheeseburger has to limit itself to you fat americans. In no way am I racist and having the german eagle incorporated into my war memorial for my grandpa is not going to signify that I am. Adler pretty much sums up that the…[Read more]

did you think of it yourself?

and snowy, that tattoo has deep meaning.. i respect it.

Thanks im very happy with it. Yes as far as I know its the only one like it. I wish I could copyright the idea so no one else could do it ha ha. Its a lot different then my original idea…[Read more]

Mine resemble peoples action or words how they can sometimes be sharp and hurt but not to let the affect me. hence the quote “no thorn will pierce my armor”.

That turned out great! I’d be proud to wear that.

Thanks man, cant wait for the color already.

Got the outline touched up and the black shading done. Also one more rose on top. Next session ill get a couple more different style leaves below the roses and the green for the leaves and red for the roses.

You are aware of all the goat fucking jokes out there right ? And your mysterious story about the time you spent with goats on an island doesnt help much. But as long as you like it, who cares right ?

Thanks for the compliments, i get lots out in public too. Im not to hung up on what to call it, its a tattoo how bout that ? Im booked to get it finished next days off work. Cant wait to get back in the chair.

Thanks for all the comments !
And yeah that was my thread, it came out even better then I could have imagined so im very pleased.

Having a “For The Win” attitude isnt un healthy at all. jk I know what you mean. Is that you in your display pic ? You got some serious ink.

Thank a lot guys.

Sometimes I let stuff get to me to easy that would make me angry, basically its just a reminder to keep tough skin. Let stuff go. The thorns being peoples actions or comments and the armor being me/my personality and the way I feel about things. Pretty much not to let other people affect me or what I do.

Thanks, got to wait till im back from Cali before I finish her. It will be done in January though.

Yeah thats why I was hesitant to call it a half sleeve cause theres nothing under there yet. Theres going to be a swallow sitting on one of those jagged stems under there. Thanks for the compliment.

Yes, I forgot to add that. The odd leaf will be added along the stem of the roses.

Fuckin awesome man. Like it a lot !

looks good man. keep postin pics up the more you get done.

Keep em comin !

thanks for the advice, ill keep searching around. Im very picky about stuff like this so I know I wont just slap anything on. Thanks again, ill post pics when I get it started.

This is Exactly why I too, wouldn’t recommend a full sleeve for your 1st tattoo. Not trying to be a hard a$$ here, but if you can’t make up your mind now as to what you want (for the rest of your life) then Dont’ start this big. However, if you do have a ‘general’ theme in mind (like Japanese style) then start out with…[Read more]

thanks for the welcome

Might I ask why you wouldnt advise it ? Im not doubting your knowledge as I dont have any tats yet but just curious as to why its not a good idea.
As far as the theme for it I have been going back and forth for soo long. I see/have ideas all the time then it changes then I see something else and it changes again. How do…[Read more]
