Any updates?

Any updates?

Non yet. I pushed my first session back from late October to feb 3rd. With the holidays here, I could not be selfish and drop a grand on a outline for myself. But when feb 3rd arrives, appointments will be mad ever 3 weeks until done. Already took every 3rd Friday off for 6 sessions. Will add more if needed. (Sure I will)

What's funny is his shop is s cash only shop. I find this crazy in 2016. I have had maybe 8 tattoo artists work on me and they all have take. My debit card/ credit card. I would think on large pieces like 20 plus hours, not many people are sitting on that type of tattoo cash. I've been saving, so I'm cool. I would rather bump the price of my tattoos up 3% and there is the credit card charge. He is an amazing artist, so people will get the cash I guess

Just received this final draft with shading. Color throughout the rest. He said he might make the dragons head a tad larger. Feb 3rd cannot come fast enough.

I'm thinking about this one a little too hard. Help me out with a last name?

So just received my final touched up tattoo. This is happening on Friday. I will post when this happens. Here is my final pic before Friday.

Here are pics of the first session. Only went about 3 hours. Got a late start because of icy road. One more session of outline and then on to color and sharing. I'm very happy.

Oh hell yes! Way to go!

Of the tattoos from your artists you could have posted, you posted something that looks like a blind scratcher first try at a tattoo... I also don't see any Japanese work on your instagram.

But I mean, I have to admit I laughed out loud at that tattoo.

Time for a bump to the thread. Heading back in for the forearm work Tuesday. As always, will post pics. Should have the whole sleeve outlined if I man up and get it all done Tuesday.

Had my 3rd session a couple days ago. It was sooooo painful. Inner arm from wrist to pit. I took only one pic and it's not that great of a pic. Doesn't really show much. I could only sit for 1.5 hours before I tapped. One more session of only 45 minutes left on the outline, then off to color/shading. I tend to sit much better, and for much longer, when it comes to shading and color. This tattoo is coming along nicely.

I love it!

I'm planning to have a Chinese/Japanese dragon on my left leg, it's my sign :) but I don't know really well what kind of design to use. 

The inner arm area was painful for me too, and usually I don't feel pain at all!! I had a decoration of flowers and abstract/super-colored things and yeah it hurted! The outlines are so long to do!

Looks really really amazing!

@Hel7 Where in Europe do you live? There are so many amazing artists...

[Hel7]

Yeah, definitely! I'm from San Marino, so I can easily reach all of Central Europe.. although I have only 2 tattoos (if I remember well ) made by non-Sammarinese/Italian tattoo artists! :)

San Marino has a population of 33.000 and only two tattoo studios in the whole nation ahah but yeah there's plenty of them in Northern Italy. Plus, I love to have different styles on my body.. my two "long-term" tattooists are a guy from the '60s and a girl from the '80s so two very different styles just to give an example.. but I love to try new artists for a touch-and-go tattoo sometimes :) 

Maybe I'll get suggestions here :)

[Hel7]

Oh, and by the way the dragon on my left leg is something I wanna do at any cost so that's already decided ahah I want it in a Japanese or (better) Chinese style, I'm in love with the one posted in this thread even if it's not colored yet! That's the kind of design I want!

[66pens87]

Had a good session yesterday. Finished the outline and got some color in. Taking longer then expected. My artists hours do not work with my work hours. So I have to take vacation days to get work done. Oh well. Still loving it.
