Do you guys like them?

 

[ComicChick]

Cool, what is it?

I plan on getting Eeyore's tail blowing in the wind across the middle of my back. I just need to afford it.

I got to get some tattoos covered up. As soon as I save up some money

Not the best pictures but here's the progress on mine. Still a long way to go:

 

[ComicChick]

how many hours into it?

 

[War Party]

how many hours into it?

Probably about 12-14 hours. Not exactly sure.

 

[ComicChick]

that's a lot of time

sometimes i have the urge to get a half sleeve but the urge doesn't last long lol

i would like to get another tattoo though, but i'm not impulsive so it'd have to be something i'd really want

 

[War Party]

I had the concept in my mind for years and finally decided it was time to start it. That was August of last year. I have another appointment in June, which will be a four hour session, and then probably not another one until November. Going back to college so I have to pay for that haha. But so far it's coming along exactly how I want it. The artist is super awesome, but he's always super booked. Can't wait to start getting all the background environment in there. It's going to be gorgeous.

No offense, I thought it was an art deco Enterprise at first.

I'm gearing up to get my first tattoo. Any advice from people who have them already? What to expect, what to look for in a tattoo place, etc?

 

[Piper Maru]

I'd like to get a tattoo someday.

 

[the last son]

Anybody know if tattoo removals are safe. I need some removed.

 

[coffeebreath]

I'd like to get a tattoo someday.

Ditto. I just can't decide on one and I'm super-OCD about linework too.

 

[ComicChick]

linework is killer. i'm so judgmental when i see poorly drawn tattoos

 

[the last son]

I went today to two ink shops and they both said mine are too big to get done over because they take up much of my forearm. I might have to go to tattoo nightmares show to get them better.

 

[ComicChick]

what are they of?

 

[ComicChick]

i cant imagine how many hours this took

 

[the last son]

I got a tattoo of a demon a robot and a captain America tattoo all on my forearm. Really big and covering most of my arm. I really just want something to go over them and blend them together. I guess I'll keep going to shops until I find one that says it can do something with it. I'll try the most expensive ones in my state.

 

[ComicChick]

obvs not me:
