EmmaB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hello Wavey! I'm healing (but not yet peeling) too - I got my first forearm tattoo on Saturday, also a biggie, and have been looking like Pop-Eye the sailor man since then! Swelling seems to be going down today though. Mark Bee 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3602-howdy/#findComment-62348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavey Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Mine swelled up something fierce, too. Cabbage leaves and ice was a life saver!

EmmaB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 A colourful piece by Joe Frost. It's based on a tapestry I love, and is of an angel with fiery wings rescuing a woman from the jaws of a serpent. (!!) I will do a link to a picture of it but it might not appear; last time I linked to instagram I got automoderated. What about you? - - - Updated - - - http://instagram.com/p/Xf5ZSfoH59/ here it is! It took 8 hours at the scottish tattoo convention.

Wavey Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 That piece is beautiful! I got this done. the picture is cropped a little, but it goes from my wrist, almost up to my elbow :) Mark Bee 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/3602-howdy/#findComment-62358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 thank you! I love yours too - really intricate and beautifully shaded - and that splash of vivid colour amongst the black and grey works really well. Who did it?
