Show me your Elbows

[TattooedMumma]

I did a search last night, but the images within the tattoo thread I found aren't all available for one reason or another.

I love American Traditional and variations thereof.

My right arm is starting to fill up and I'm thinking of getting my elbow done before it reduces to too much of an odd space. My left arm has heaps of room , but I thought I'd also get the elbow on the left done while I have more room to work with.

I'd love to see what you did with your elbows , if they were done earlier in the arm journey or later! 

I'm unsure what I'll go with as I keep flopping between wanting roses on both , or having two totally different designs.

for those playing at home- I have decided on a sad eye cloud (cloud, eye in middle, raindrops) for the right elbow. Still trapesing through images for further inspiration for left arm through.

I’ve got both elbows done as part of my sleeves. I can tell you they hurt like hell. Fortunately it’s a small area. Thin skin right in bone!!!

I’m glad I had them done though.

I have both my elbows and knees done, honestly they were not that bad, my knee ditches were bad,

I don't have any good pics of my elbows

My elbows were both super painful. But I think my knee was the worst.

Oh I'm fully expecting to hate myself for it 🤣 

But it will be worth it... right 🥲🥴

Thanks for sharing the pics! Also, loving the stack of skulls on the left arm! 

 

Glad to hear you didn't find it too horrible, I'll hold out in hope!

While it would be nice to have the same experience as Dan, I'm fully expecting it to suck

Fiiiiinally.

 

Got a purple peony on the right elbow today.
