Finished the upper arm now after another 8/9 hours (c.20 in total) very happy with the result.

Decision time as to whether the design continues down my forearm now!
That's awesome. Nice one.

24 years ago I went to get a tattoo, and bottled it at the last moment - I couldn't convince myself on the design I wanted, size and location.

Nearly quarter of a century later I've got a consultation booked for the end of the month, with the work starting, hopefully, end of September at Redemption in Sheffield - https://www.facebook.com/redemptiontattoostudio/ - Although I've also been trying to get some time for a guy in Blackpool, but his availability and my distance is making things difficult - http://www.inkdentattoo.co.uk/index.php/portfolio-...

I'm looking at a hyper real bio-mech design for by shoulder and upper arm - it will be personal to me, and represent a lot of what makes me, me. I've been into mountain bikes, cars and geeky stuff since a kid, and now that I have a number of metal plates in my body, the "semi-cyborg" theme is appropriate and meaningful to me.
I have a load of images from Pinterest and Instagram to use for source ideas, and it is a case now of the artists working them together and into a placement that works with my body shape.

I don't plan to get anything else afterwards, but the Chicano style is something that I really admire, although the I'm not sure the origins and a connotations of the work really suits me.

Is that all new, or an effort to cover up a misjudged cock tat?

Looks great, not too dissimilar to mine, though my koi is positioned a bit lower. Lots of people say it's quite big but it's smaller than yours. biggrin

I had a 3/4 sleeve done last year....and then 2 months later had it extended to a full sleeve. I need to get my other arm done.

JAYB wants the cock tattoo...


I think the Koi looks very good! Line work must have been tough to sit through. Look forward to seeing it in colour.

That made me laugh far too much , but will probably look better when the colours are on .

All the rage in the 90's hehe...I normally get 'It's in the wrong place...Did it slip down?' hehe

It was suggested that we add fog detail to incorporate it in but we both agreed it wouldn't work so with subtle overlapping with leaves on the underside and when the colour gets applied it will look (hopefully) like a single piece....albeit with two styles.

Had this for a couple of years now, steampunk design from a shape I found online and then amended with my tattooist.

Two six hour sessions, happy with the result. Was my first tattoo, I now want more! Excuse the crap pic, keep meaning to get a decent shot.
