Do you have a tattoo?

[k_jessop]

I saw this


And this is it on my leg minus the final bits of highlighting etc.


I'll post a picture later on tonight because I'm booked in to have my other tattoo coloured in this afternoon. Got a Frankensteins head right next to the see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil skulls

"These men were children once. It chills to imagine the terrible things that happened to make them into adults like that."

Interesting read. Some really high quality ink too considering it's done in prison.

One I had started today, 2 hours worth. Next session will get water, Lotus flower and the missus's name.

looks like a forearm?

which way is it swimming?

[Vieste]

Up river.

Not sure why it rotated the screen.... Its my left arm, mouth of the fish is at the top of my shoulder.
I was surprised how quick he did it, I could have sat another few hours but apparently the white will take 2 go's so theres a couple more sittings anyway so why rush!

The reason I went for upstream

"legend tells of how any koi that succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate (on the Yellow River) would be transformed into a dragon."

So if it returns (downstream) it could be seen as failure?

That's why my dragon Koi is swimming back down again...

Il see if i can get a pic of my downstream koi. Mines isnt returning downstream with a dragonhead - its swimming down to signify life hardships and the fact that not everyone makes it first time.

The dragon backpiece however - means i am strong of spirit.

That would be one interpretation.

Got a pair of upstream swimming Koi with Lotus flower as a sleeve on my left arm. Still got a good days worth of shading to finish yet.

I have an almost identical one, swimming down from my shoulder. Fail!

[With these feet]

Had a 3 hour session this morning, lotus flower on the inside of my arm. Looks like once the missus's name is put in the remaining space with the water it will be almost a 1/2 sleeve!

I'm thinking of having my face tatooed on my face.

Any good artists out there who would do this?

I'll do it, I charge £100 an hour and use invisible/magic Ink.

should take about 3 minutes!

I'd encourage the fact tattoo, it does wonders for your job prospects!
