Thanks everyone for the replies, I will take your advice and leave it alone.

Looks great, definitely leave. Cover up would not make anything better Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

We did color instead of background. I love these rocks. I never talked about rocks, but I collect them on my travels. It needs a stitch to actually show the whole thing. Background still to come ?

I like it. Just leave it.

Okay, I'm really late to this party but: Well yeah, most legendary tattooers are grizzled old men that are a little politically incorrect. You sound surprised by the way he speaks. Not sure if you're trying to make a criticism or just a statement...? Personally, as a woman, I find this whole idea of masculine spaces (like an old tattoo shop) to be a sort of mystical thing. I like going into old timey barber shops with my boyfriend and seeing how different it is from the unisex salons I go to. I think masculine spaces should be respected and appreciated, there aren't many places where a guy can be a guy anymore without judgment. If you don't like how these guys carry themselves or operate their shop, there's more than enough other shops to choose from. /rant And rightly so for him to be judgmental. Just because he did it doesn't mean it's a good idea. It just means he's old enough to know better and wishes someone would have told him not to do it when he was a kid.

I think your artist made a smart composition choice: the rose looks good on your shoulder and the dove looks good where it is, but that would mean the time on the clock was being covered by the rose (and I assume you requested a specific time, most people do). It's a good tattoo, don't mess with it.

The clock is the boldest part of that work. If you cover it the middle of the tattoo is going to be 10 times darker than the rose and dove. Personally, I never would have picked up on the number placement.

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. Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

Got my book yesterday ! I got home and saw the big box and figured it was one of my dumb ebay impulse buys or car parts haha...totally forgot I had pre-ordered this baby a while back. Came with some nice prints by Grez and Rubendall. Really nice attention to detail on the overall project. I went to bed super late, cause I got stoked and had to look at every single god damn page. Some super cool tattoo art and meaning dissection. I didn't realize how many tattooists were included in the project. Gonna have some new ideas brewing after digesting this book !

oooh, i like this topic. Today I've done my Japanese's tattoo on my thigh. It's koi fish (look sketch in my status). Well. I really love colorful tattoos on women, i think it looks prettier than black, but it's only my opinion. I'm thinking about next tattoo and maybe it will be some flowers. I found nice examples http://flowertattooideas.com/amazing-sleeve-sunflower-tattoos/ but not sure yet. What do you think about these sunflowers? As for me they look great. Especially I like this one: Ahem, but it's too big, i don't know
