Wow!!! I can only agree with everything that’s been said already.
What awesome tats to start with!!! Not a (or nowhere even close) bad tat in there.
Stick with that guy and you’ll be looking great all the time!!!!

What you need to do is take photos that can be loaded up and we can view you in 360 degrees!!! 🙂

Both really good. Love the phoenix. Same artist.:)

Do Japanese dragons not have 3 claws?:confused:

Hello and welcome:)

The longer you’re on this forum you’ll see that Matthew speaks a lot of sense.
From personal experience, my first tat was at the top of my arm back in 1992. Thinking back, I wish
I had got it bigger but I’ve recently got it covered up and now have my left/right chest covered with larger pieces and I’m delighted. So, I would…[Read more]

I think that with tattoos it’s a bit of a Marmite ‘love it/hate it’ situation and that will influence people’s
opinions.

When I watch the likes of LA Ink/London Ink, I think the girls look great because…as Knighthawk said…it’s good ink.

As for heavily tattooed…I’d agree on the visible parts being covered.

Nice one:)
Big fan of koi tats…..oh, getting one myself in 2 wks!!! 😀

Looks good mate.
What else are you having added? Going for wind bars/cherry blossoms?
Love colour but went for black/grey myself. 🙂

Again, not the best or worst. Is it fully healed? Might look better in a week or so.

£45…I had £50 taken off me for getting my daughters name on my chest!!!!:confused:

I love sharks.
I love tattoos.
Winning combination!!!! 😀

i went for an 8 and half hour sitting after travelling for 4 hours to get there without anything to eat, i did have a cup of tea about 6 hrs in though

😮 Man, I was at the end of my threshold after 2 1/2!!!! 😀

I recently had a tat on my chest going a bit down the top of my arm.
I found the chest was a bit nippy, more so as it edged towards my armpit.
The collar bone was the worst for me:eek:

I think though, for me it was the length of time. First session was 2 1/2 hours and the last 45mins was agony. Every time the needle bit I was gritting my teeth…[Read more]

Hi,

Have you thought of having the koi where you have a chest plate and a half sleeve as you’ve already mentioned? You would have a definitive outline with the design of the koi/water etc within this?

I have a black and grey Japanese dragon within this on my left chest and I’m getting a black and grey koi on the right to match up.

You can go…[Read more]

Second that!!!

Sorry about your experience. Can I ask if you’re a bit young? Maybe I’m just old 🙂 but my sensible head told
me to do some research for designs (like on these forums) or for the actual tattoo parlour (there are UK based tattoo…

I’ve just had a Japanese dragon on my chest/shoulder/arm and used Bepanthen for the first 3 days.
Didn’t get any problems with colour.
Didn’t scab at all….got peeling instead like sunburn so I then just used an unscented moisturiser and it’s been fine 🙂

Nice.

Love the colours

Man, that’s some plan to have!!
How long would it take to get a full body done!??
I love Japanese tattoos.
Do a Google images search and you’ll probably get a few images.

Good luck.

It suits you 🙂

I got my first when I was 18….waited 17 years and I’ve had 2 within the last 8 months!!!…but at least they’re things I really want and I’m totally happy with.

2nd for me too:)

I find it’s like going to the dentist. Not really looking forward to it and it might hurt at the time but it’s great
once it’s finished and I wonder what I was fussing about!!!!:D

Hey mate,

Any pics yet? 🙂

Has it healed well?
