I have some Japanese, some traditional, some Marquesas tribal, and a bunch of other work, I'm a F***ing mess of different styles and color and B&G,
and that all works just fine for me.
oh ! and I'm a white boy. LOL
 

I'm a WASP and covered in traditional Japanese!

Yeah you right thanks& I've always thought you had to be Japanese to get it or you have to be samoan/islanders to get these tribal tatts done &I'm neither btw 

if you want to mix it up then keeping styles consistent doesn't seem so important. that's a typical American approach. it'd be up to your artist to make it work visually.
 
cheers!

@oboogie I always leave the best for last so I am happy to be considered infant! Can only mean I have a ton left to savour 😊

Thanks!
Thank you too! Started as a newbie back in the 1990's with 3 but pretty much became addicted when I reached my 40's (55 deep so far); I dig sleeves but like to have the option of getting small filler pieces.  Here are a few more done by the same artist.

Hi all, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and wish you all a happy new year.  I still lurk the board from time to time and have had a bunch of work done since my last post over a year ago.
Here are some more all done by the same bud; Rasta @ Ink Assassins.

Today was the big day for my first, wanted to share with you all! Thanks to all who gave me advice earlier it was very helpful! You were right it was an awesome experience! I was in the chair for 6 hours on the nose, 7.5 hours total time. Rocked out to Motorhead wire to wire!

looks perfectly normal for this stage

Thank you! @Gingerninja It's being done by Tom Roy at Seven Tails tattoo in Melbourne, Australia.

Lil' Keith drawing of an angel in honor of KeithHaring by my pal Erik at Odyssey Tattoo. Love him. He's a bit bloody, but he'll look the business when he's healed. He's quite small. Another of my many tiny Keith Haring fillers. 🙂

I started my 3/4 Kirin recently. 

Too early to tell, but you're probably fine. Especially with thick scabs, it could easily be 4-6 weeks or more before everything flattens out 100%. 

Went with my fiance to get her tattoo a few days ago so I could show the artist a Friday the 13th tattoo that I am looking to get reworked and added to. He had a cancellation on the 26th so I grabbed it. Really looking forward to it as I've known since I got the tattoo that I wanted to add to it so I've been avoiding the area until it is finished. The original scarred pretty badly and a lot of the ink fell out but I never got it touched up as I thought it gave it a more rugged look. I'll post before and after pictures when it's done.

you're a boss, you got this man!!

I have a touchup and the addition of another little tattoo next Friday. Then on February 1, I'm getting a forearm piece as a start to my lower left sleeve (everything above the elbow is already covered).

More red!
Green next time!
 

A little bloody and covered with saniderm. But came out pretty well. I'll repost once I clean it

nice!!
yeah, the back in general is *brutal*
cheers, and welcome.

@SStu @pidjones Yes, yes, YES! It's going to be interesting, no doubt. I will say that the whole hearing aid thing is such a racket. No way to get real pricing up front, insurance doesn't cover them and it's a real PITA to get setup but I am crossing my fingers it will be worth it. 🙂
