Hmm, I’ve got ‘Seize Fate By The Throat’ on my chest, bit more hardcore than ‘get off yer ass’ anyway :p

There’s one in a flash book that you could tweak and it would make a nice tattoo, only thing is it’s in my tattooists studio….. 🙁

Welcome to the forums.
Good to see you’re building up your sleeve instead of just getting it all at once.

Nothing wrong with getting one all done at once 😉

You’d have to get the face above the dragon, or else you’d have lines from the dragon coming through the white face. Other than that, I’m pretty sure it’s possible, just might look weird having the face so high up on your shoulder…

I reckon a huge rib piece of a leaping, snarling dog would make an awesome tattoo, if it was done realistically. Like a massive rottie, or doberman (my choice would be american bulldog only cos that’s what my boy is ;))

That would cover the strength and fierce aspects, it’s not really mystical at all though.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head there Blue.
Unfortunately, the guys over here who are the regulars at the gym all get tribal/tribal armbands, and think it’s the most badass thing going around.

Interesting work you’ve got there fella, I don’t get the joke tattoo though

Is there a particular meaning behind the dragon you associate with, or are you open to suggestions?

At least that makes me feel less mad, I read beforehand that the OUTLINES were bad… but I agree with you, I found the shading much less pleasant.

The liner feels like a different sort of pain, like a scratch or something. I could sit and get my whole arm outlined no worries.
The shader feels like a sting though, in the…[Read more]

Outlaw tattoo, the guy who runs it isn’t really friendly, but hey, what can ya do??
:p

I’ve got one on the back of my neck, same size as what Ivy is going to get done. Hasn’t effected any jobs I’ve had since I got it a year and a half ago, most people don’t notice it unless they’re behind me and I’m stooping low.

A lot of people would say you’d have to do under the arm as well to consider it a half sleeve.

Oh, if you two ever break up, you can always cover the date with a massive FLAMING SKULL!! 😀

Just a word of warning, the longer you go, the more it hurts. That’s what I’ve found out with shading anyway, that shader is a f***in b*tch after the 3 hour mark. I can handle outlining a lot better.
Haha you’re spoilt with the tv, my artist just has the radio going, luckily there’s always quite a few good looking girls coming into the shop 😉

Good to hear, I’m a massive fan of colour. You’ve gained my respect too, I used to work with kids and it drove me nuts!!

Looking awesome, I’m always looking forward to seeing more on this piece 🙂

It’s all personal opinion in the end, I’d just rather see a pretty girl without metal in her lips.
That’s only my opinion though.
