Hello everyone! I've lurked here a bit & decided to sign up & post a quick hello. I've gotten a few tattoos recently after not getting any for a few years, and I've definitely caught the bug big time. My most recent piece is this Kappa head by Zach Black @ Riverwest Tattoo. I'm really happy with it & thinking about seeing if he can expand on it & turn it into a half sleeve.

You have to engage on other threads for a while before you can post in other forums. I have some Johnny Cash lyrics and John Lennon lyrics incorporated into my tattoos.

Finally healed. By Jersh tattoos in Dallas:

Finished!!!! If anyone ever asks you for tattoo advice: "get enough sleep" needs to be at the top of the list. I've barely slept but a couple hours each of the last three nights.... and I could barely make it through the final 4 hours of tattooing needed to complete my sleeve. After about an hour, everything just hurt bad, and I had very little tolerance for pain this time around. Here's a pic of the final sleeve. Some of the oranges are really yellow but inflamed... and there is actually no red in the swirling spiral on the back of the arm -- just red from the work. Going back in a month for some touch-up work (not a lot of green held in the dragon's head first time around) and I will post healed photos in a few weeks.
