The artist just nailed it. It's everything I asked for and beyond. I love how the flag stripes are blended into the Constitution and becomes part of the aging of the document. I love the stitching and embroidering on the flag, and how even the tiny text that you can't read still looks like real text. The feather quill and inkwell are awesome! This was done in one session and these pictures are taken right after and the day after. Pain really wasn't bad at all. Obviously some areas are worse than others, but I could have sat longer if I needed to. I am using DermShield, first piece on for 24 hours, then swapped for a fresh piece for 3 days. That comes off today, and man I can't wait to get this off and put some moisturizer on it! It's pretty tight, red, and itchy, more around the tattoo than on it but I have dry sensitive skin and winter doesn't help. I have not showered in the 3 days since I put on the second dermshield, because it's several pieces and I just don't think it would last otherwise. As soon as I get home from work I am running for the showering and peeling the dermshield off! Hoping for smooth sailing from here. Already planning ideas for the other side of this arm to go with this theme. Definitely using the same artist. I'm trying to decide if that last half star (circled in red) would look better with a bit of shading to it so it matches the others more, or better looking like its fading out to the skin as that was the artists concept. Probably won't be able to decide until this is healed and the skin is no longer red. What do you guys think...have that shaded a bit or leave it so it looks more out of focus/fading out? Hope you all like it! This piece is awesome! How long did you sit for?

Session was 11 to around 5. With breaks every so often. Really wasn’t bad and I would have sat longer if needed It’s healing nicely just a day over a week. Used Saniderm and had no scabbing. It’s pretty flakey now but nothing is raised or bumpy. Just dry old skin flaking off.

Oiocha Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Finished with Mike and finally got to posting it. Super stoked on how it came out and how easy it was to get lines and shading in one session and color the next.

VeryHungryCaterpillar Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 My first tattoo was super fun, if not perfect. Both the tattoo artist and I missed a spot at the top left hand corner of the tattoo (the stencil didn't transfer fully), and I'm not sure it's entirely symmetrical or on straight, but I'm neither symmetrical nor straight so I guess it works. This is it fresh: And 48h after!

Fn GNARLY dude go big or go home lol Thank you for the kind words and advice! Yeah I figured that I really wanted an undercut tat (a good combination of easily hidden and also not in an nsfw spot) and only a day before started thinking that...maybe scalp tattoos are hard. And thank you! I might add to it anyway if I get bored of it in a few years. (Or shave more hair. Free canvas!)

SStu Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 My feet were the one area where I found it was MUCH easier to take if I didn't relax. The sensitivity was greatly diminished once we found a position where I could put my foot flat on the chair and then lean my weight onto it.

Dennis Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) @Dan Thank you! I had Kurt do my other foot 9 years ago but I've put off this one because it was so damn painful! Hahah @SStu Same! Putting my weight over my leg or digging my heel into the table made it easier to sit still. If I tried to relax I'd get a bit shaky/twitchy! @oboogie Agreed! My feet are quite bony as well, makes for an uncomfortable session!
