Getting my sleeve started.

[alexenglish]

So i just had my appointment with my tattoo artist last night, handed over some of my references. I Will be starting my sleeve January 14th 2011. The theme of the sleeve is going to be life and death. The style of it is going to be a traditional style with an extremely modern twist. So far we have in mind is a two lady heads, one living, the other dead, with a script saying "death comes quick, seek your fortune." And also a skull turning into a heart. I've already sent him tons of references, but if you guys have any cool pictures of skulls (Nick Chaboya, Bob Tyrrell kinda stuff) lady heads, daggers, hearts and whatever you think would be a cool addition to my sleeve that would be really helpful. I will update my progress in this thread as well, its a pretty big deal for me because this will be in an exposed area.

thINK Tattoo This is the artist who will be working on my sleeve, if any of you are interested in thinking a look.

Thanks for sharing Alex and look forward to the pictures of the sleeve process. Did you see the thread on Last Sparrow Tattoo for Lady Heads? There is some badass stuff with not only pictures but also some of the tattooers who do some of the best!
