POST PICS OF YOUR TATTOO'S-merged

How many arms you got

 

Ha none are mine, it was helping out Celtic Mel with suggestions.

 

not being funny but that top one is shocking, i'd be livid if my tattooist did that to me.

 

* sake I am not posting it for the actual figures, it was for the sun burst at the top.

I stated that sunburst and clouds are probably the best way to fill out a religious sleeve.

 

Thanks a lot Rachael! Good ideas to try to fill it up! It's so much harder getting a sleeve than just a tattoo because there so much more space to fill.

Am I right in saying you also have a tattoo at the top of your arm? Think I remember seeing it earlier in the thread. Just wondering how sore it was round the back and on the inside? I've already got tattoos which were fine but I think on wee areas like that it tends to be a bit tougher!

 

Yeah you can kinda make it out in my avatar. On the shoulder is fine, it was in around the softer skin on the inside, especially the closer to the arm pit you go, that was a struggle. But nothing too bad, I mean I would happily do it all again.

TBH get an idea of the main pieces you want included, take that to an artist you like and he will do the rest. With a sleeve its best that the draw the background stuff direct onto your arm so it fits and flows with your body better. That is what the guy did for mine.

 

Was forgetting about the avatar haha.

Yeah I've got a rough idea of what I want to get just trying to find someone really decent at the moment. Where was it you got yours done?

 

This is where I got my sleeve

Finding the right artist for you especially for something as major as you are planning is the most important thing. Have a look through their work though some cracking stuff.

 

Got this done today, again thanks too R74NN for help with the font.

 

Did they make a mess of the last few letters ?

 

It's just the way I've taken the picture, it looks perfect in the mirror.

EDIT : I need too get someone too take the picture for me I took about 30 pictures and it looks weird in them all.

 

Ok mate.

 

Not sure if you were trying to wind me up now

I actually do think it looks pretty different in the picture than it does in the mirror though.

 

Aye,maybe your camera is crooked.

Or maybe it is just the way your arm is bending.

 

haha i know, was just saying that said tattoo was poor.

 

I want a tattoo real badly... Going over to ireland on st Patricks day. Any decent tattoo artist over there?

 

Looking good sir , It looks like its started scabbing abit, but once the the scabs off, its amazing how sharp the font looks. get some nappy cream on it

 

Aye it's scabbing a little not nearly as bad as my other ones did though, he gave me some sort of cream with vitamin a and d in it he say's that's the best stuff he has ever used to stop scabbing, so I will see how it works. I went too a different guy this time and he was 100 times better than the guy I got my other tattoo's off.

Very happy with it especially the font, even though I had seen that font I never actually paid attention too it until you mentioned it, cheers again mate
