Here are the pics. Both are from fresh. I'll try to snap some healed ones soon!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

i Ginger, yes that is his actual paw print and I didn't show the quote in my picture but the quote says, Until one has loved and animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.. Honestly to answer your question if I can live with it, I'm not sure because the location and size of it really bothers me more and more each day. Whatever happens meaning if I am able to get it covered up with something else I would most definitely get the paw print somewhere else like maybe on my shoulder or a smaller size maybe on my wrist.

Yeah, I actually just booked some time with Holly Ellis at Idle Hands in SF. I'm pretty excited about that!

Damn, two killer tattoos. You're off to a great start. And it took me a second to see the skulls in the panther head, but holy shit... Got any plans for what's next?

Hi everyone! I really dig this forum and all the knowledge in it. My name is Jimmy and I currently live in NC. I just recently started getting tattooed. So far I have two. A wolf head from Mikey Holmes and a Pather head from Greg Whitehead. Planning on more soon!

Here's an idea for you. There's a cool little tattoo convention in two weeks in Reading, PA. There will be some great artists there from all over in attendance. You may not be able to get in with anyone BUT it may be an idea to go to the show just to get inspiration, explore options/styles and talk to people.

@Boiled Dove When I talked to Grez in June he was booked BUT still reach out because people do cancel. That's how I got in with him a couple of years ago!

Hi Devious thanks for the response back and info. I live in the Philly area. I'm actually just getting back into tattoos. I was 16 years old when I got my last tattoo so that's 35 years ago. I've always loved them but just never got another one until 3 months ago when I had to put my dog down. I got his portrait on my forearm which i love. So the paw print and quote is actually my second tattoo in 35 years, I'm just regretting the location of the paw prints,,

Woah, talk about great taste straight off the bat. Absolutely love your tattoos, welcome!

LOVE those! Gorgeous.

Those are both amazing! Welcome to the forum!

haha...okay maybe beater vs Benz might have been more appropriate comparison! point is you get what you pay for. cheers

looks normal for what it is IMO. there will be peeling,flaking,and various other weird shit that will happen. if it gets red and swollen and generally looking fucked up,it could be infected. but from your not that great pics,it looks fine IMO. and remember to not keep looking at it with a microscope.

Yes, pictures please!

Welcome to the forum...and let's see some pictures of that art!!!

Welcome, @Grimy!

Got an appointment for late August to start something with Kahlil at Tattoo City. I am very excited.

$1000 ...or $100 if you were going to get a car that you would be stuck driving for the rest of your life...would you just go with a used Kia or save your allowance and get a BMW ? the choice is yours.

Super dig that shark, @jnin! I was going to post in here this morning that I was off to see Jeff P. at Art Work Rebels about filling some space on my leg, but I didn't and got tattooed anyway! Forgot to snap a pic before he wrapped it all up, but keep your eyes peeled in the Lowdown tomorrow...

@Gingerninja Here you go! Hard area of my arm to photograph, but I hope this is good enough.
