Thanks all, I never really got the wing part, all the way through but the artist convinced me it needed to be there and now it’s one of my favourite bits! (except for drilling it in around the back of the knee!)

I’ll try and get some better pictures, I’ve redone them once but it’s still a bit blurry

Top stuff, he’s an excellent artist 😎

A couple of minutes on Google reveals this:

“Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis, was called “Horus who rules with two eyes.” His right eye was white and represented the sun; his left eye was black and represented the moon. According to myth Horus lost his left eye to his evil brother, Seth, whom he fought to avenge Seth’s murder of Osiris. Seth…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum 🙂

I too have a MASSIVE needle phobia, so committing to a large tattoo booked over 6 days probably wasn’t the wisest thing 😀

First session was tough, I actually sweated most of the stencil off and went white as a sheet but a few minutes in and all was fine.
I’ve since had 6 more days on it with no problems at all and my…[Read more]

It’s just tribal.
Bad idea in my opinion, it’s very dated and looks dated too but each to their own.

Any high street shop should be able to do it but tread very carefully as a lot of good studios (at least in this area) won’t do it any more.

David Corden has certainly done some good ones, but Dan Chase (works from the studio) has also done some very, very nice ones.
He has his won flowy style with them, maybe worth a look as he’s also quite close to you?

(Sorry, his website is particularly annoying but his PF is well worth a look IMO. He’s also only usually booked…[Read more]

Looks good, congratulations 😎

Looks really good, especially considering how small that thing must be!

Ugleisttattoo website usually features disaster tattoos, it’s quite entertaining but they do a few good ones, especially ones that are done really well…[Read more]

If you’re really hairy (like me) then buzz over it with some electric trimmers first, then it will only take a moment to finish it off with a razor.
The cream doesn’t work very well, it stinks, and takes ages.

But, if you like excruciating pain, then wax 😀 (but don’t forget to get it videoed and upload it here, it’s the law)

Obviously you wouldn’t want to copy it, but it might give you some inspiration

Cheers, looks great!
As to what to add, I have no artistic ability whatsoever so have no idea!
The obvious thing would be a full moon, or a blurred nature type background or other distant wolves I guess.
If you search for David cordens portfolio, he has something along those lines in there

Looks good! do you have a better pic with less glare?

All you need is there ^^^^^

But, if you want more, there’s a sticky here

My PC or internet is really playing up this morning so can’t post links but have a look at:

Dan Chase (Ritual Art Tattoo, Rainham, Kent)
Steve Prizeman (Eternal Art, Chelmsford, Essex) – but don’t call him Steve, it’s Prizeman 😉

Can you get someone to take some pictures for you? Some of the linework looks a bit shakey but the rest looks to be very nice.
Hard to tell with those pictures though which is why I don’t think you’re getting any replies

Congratulations, anyway 😎

When I saw the title, I didn’t expect such a big piece. 🙂 Looks very good. Congrats.

Absolutely! looks fantastic though, you must be delighted, congratulations 🙂

Looks fantastic, congratulations 😎

Nice tattoos! and welcome to the forum 🙂

If he’s happy with crap though, who are we to judge?
Some people just like tattoo’s, no matter how poor they are. Not something I understand but each to their own?
