I like it, Wonder why artist didnt put different view of flower so he could get more colors and depth into it.

Nice! How long did it take?

[CultExciter]

Agreed, that's a pretty tattoo.

[kdhenry2010]

Almost 8 hours (2 sessions). Figured I'd go all out for my first one lol

Go big or go home, as the cool kids say.

That looks like a rough spot for a tattoo right on the hip. Props for sitting.

Congrats on the nice tattoo

Thanks! Yeah it hurt!! The hip and the ribs were the worst. But now I feel like I deserve it more since I went through so much pain. :D

Sweet!

What do you think about the lack of color in the inner center of the petals? I'm not sure if I'll keep it that way or not.

Congrats on going big with your first.

I like some "negative space"(skin) in a tattoo- helps add contrast/makes stuff next to it "pop".

[Jake Anderson]

Looks great!

[CaptCanada]

Very nice and agreed, negative space helps the tattoo.

I just got my 1st tattoo and I've spent hours thinking of ways to make it better and finally realized I was over analyzing every detail of a well done tattoo. Now I spend hours brainstorming and researching ideas for future tattoos because I still have lots of empty space to fill...

Congrats on going all out on your first tattoo and getting a some really boss ink!!

I have a friend that really wants a Traditional Japanese half sleeve but he is afraid its going to hurt. a few people are telling him to get something small and go from there but I keep telling him if he goes to a good artist and really loves the Traditional work and half sleeve look go for it first up he will more so regret a small cheap tattoo over a getting a timeless art form and waste valuable skin if he decides to get more in the future.

Its funny how he is scared of a tattoo needle too as he is a ex Heroin addict that did time for armed robbery.
