I need to color in the characters, and then I'm going to start on the back of my leg. I'm also going to have him put more orange in the yellow at the bottom. I'm boy a fan of how bright the yellow is
[Reply]

The yellow is a lot brighter then the rest of the tattoo, some orange in it should balance it out nice.

Had another small session last night on my back piece. Coming along nicely. Can't wait to get into the scales on the dragon.

There's some great ink in this thread! Here's my only (so far) tat. For those who don't recognize it, it's a chain ring from a road bicycle.

I loved the concept behind that one bro :-)

I started my first one back in feb. I had something in mind, and the guy I met thankfully was a honest and upfront artist that basically said, yeah its cool, but wouldnt really work right and look good on your arm. So he offered to draw me up something after asking me what all i was into so he came up with this. For 24yrs old, he's really good and is building a great rep in this area since he moved here trying to turn his life around.

He did this in about 2.5 hours of work, but we got another 3 or so in shading and all he wants to do. Its a cross of course, he went real heavy on it since he wants it to be the main focal point and stand out the most. Has my son and daughters name in it, and a cross hair in the middle, since I do a fair amount of shooting. The outside is a deer antler, sorta doesnt look like it now but will on the final and forming the circle is a light path that has deer tracks in it. I am so itching to go get this finished just havent had the spare funds yet to do it.

Also attached is a tat he did for my wife on her leg. This pic was right after it was done, he spent 4 hours doing this and goes into amazing detail. If you play warcraft you'll prob reconize it.

Dang I type alot :-)

That's a really cool concept. Is that a Redwings wheel in the lower right portion?
[Reply]

Nope. It's actually a symbol of one of my addictions. Triathlons. Swim, bike, run baby! :-)

My next race is a half ironman on July 24th. :-)
[Reply]

Ok, I can see that now. I had a feeling that wasn't some adaptation of the Redwings logo but it does look similar, at least shape wise. Very cool concept. :-)

Scott,
the colors on your second one look great!


I don't currently have any tattoos, however I do draw them for friends.

This is a tattoo I drew for a coworker during a meeting:
(I redrew it perfect but he liked this kinda raw look better)

Another tattoo I drew for a female friend's shoulder and arm:

Going to get my 2nd Tattoo this tuesday or wednesday.
2 Tattoos in one month.... it is addicting!
I have been talking with the artist and he is estimating about 4hours of inking.... thats a long time to sit still!!!

My left arm is sleeved from the shoulder to the wrist with a Celtic/Tribal type design and a dragon on the forearm that you cant see. I have well over 20 hours into it so far and a friend of my wifes is drawing up an Evil Dead type sleeve for my right leg. Will try to get a better pic later. I did a couple 6 hour sessions and a couple 4 hour sessions to get it were its at now.
[Reply]

How did I not know about this thread before. I've got sleeves left and right arm, shoulder to wrist. Stomach, chest neck. Right thigh and both legs, lip, and some foot. Fun times.

Ken, any chance of a close up of your right arm? That piece on your upper arm looks really cool.
