There are a few friends and some other tattooed people who mentioned the mouth of the octopus looks funny. And some say it looks more like an alien head cause the body is missing . I think it will really stand out its a octopus ones the colour is in. I like the look of the octopus as it is different from the portrait like tattoos I've seen and it's also japanese style. Maybe I would have done the tentacles a bit different but I like the tattoo. I know I shouldn't care what others think but I'm only human and sometimes influenced by some of the negative comments by others.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I get allot of mixed reviews on this tattoo. Some like it and some criticize it. Il post some pics when it's coloured in. 21 February.

Amazing artwork. Just wondering what that part on your bicep is?

lol. Not too far fetched. I just read a article about a tattoo artist tattooing a huge turd with flies on someone's back for revenge. He's going to court for it tho. All kidding aside I would always talk to the initial tattoo artist where you got the tattoo first. If they care about their customers they will do what they can.

Last week I started on my second sleeve. I wanted a octopus mixed with anemones. It still needs colouring. I'm pretty happy with it but wouldn't mind some more tentacles, even one over its mouth. Some people say it kinda looks like an alien. Let me know what you think guys.

Yes I live in Langley bc.

By the way those are pictures after my tattoo session. Il post some recent ones after its healed

Everything is healed properly so it's time post some pics of my completed sleeve. It use to be a 2/3 sleeve but had it completed to a full one. Let me know what you all think.

I always print out a few pics from Google to give the artist an idea of what I want. I think it's easier for them to see what you like to have done instead of trying to explain the whole thing. But I want the artist to do this in his style and his design. Imo nothing wrong with coming in with some Google pics. Just don't say "this is exactly what I want".

All my tattoos are black/grey with some color mixed in it. I like them that way. I think the colors bring out parts I like more than full color tattoos. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wish I could post mine. But it's still healing and looking pretty dry. Will post soon. Peonies make beautiful tattoos. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I like to keep a theme each arm. IMO different styles on a full continuous sleeve clash. But that's my opinion. I've got a Japanese theme on one arm and working on a traditional sleeve on the right arm. Mixing cultures on a entire body is great tho. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I spoke to my tattoo artist and we are considering adding more water, a big peony flower and a couple of goldfish/Siamese fighting fish.

If you get your but tattooed like these guys does the artist shave it as well before starting the tattoo. Could be pretty embarrassing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So I got this 3/4 sleeve done a while ago but want to extend it. I like to stay in the same theme. Maybe add more water, dragonfly and shading. Don't think I want to add a koi fish. . Any input on your ideas to extend this sleeve would be appreciated. Thanks

Lol. Then maybe il pass on this tattoo.

Only problem is when he said this in the episode he already had his goatee. Maybe they will have to add some hair to his chin.

Do swallows mean a new start in life or a new beginning? Just wondering as there are a few meanings. Most of my tattoos symbolize a new start or view in life or a conquering of a struggle. I would love to have a tattoo of a swallow on my chest or stomach area.

Plainskins. Never heard this before. Good name. I don't mind people asking what the meaning of my tattoos are. I rather them be interested in them than judging them.

Same here. McDonald breakfast first. I also bring Advil super strength and I bring some scotch I the truck. During a break I have a quick shot of scotch.

When I had my sleeve done the elbow was the worst. I could feel the vibration of the needle thru my whole arm. Also the inside of my bicep close to my armpit was no walk in the park.

Just wanted some feedback on the tattoo and some ideas on extending it to the wrist. Was thinking another dragon fly, water and maybe some lotus flower pebbles. But I'm open to ideas.

I got my 3/4 sleeve tattoo to cover up the scars. Healing fine. I know a tattoo artist who was in a house fire when he was young. He covered his arms and most of his body with tats. It looks great and all healed well. Another great thing about tattoos. Cover up the bad times with some new art to celebrate the good times.

My kid has type 1 diabetes. I know when exercising or rather playing his sugar level drops allot. Getting a tattoo takes allot out of you because you're constantly trying to suppress the pain. So I can imagine it affects your sugars. Eat a good meal, keep an eye on your levels during the session, bring some juice and a small snack with you to up your sugar levels if they drop.
