I'd suggest better cropping that pick Randy.

Shit dog it don't matter to me, if you want to hand out your personal info on rerolled that's all you.

@Onoes I see what appears to be a very large chunk of black going in the inner arm. Good luck with that, otherwise I dig it. I like heavy blackwork.

Here is one I got recently:

still havent decided to shade it grey or color it

Honestly, my plan is to fill in the circuit lines with white UV reacting ink as well, so at some point or another we are talking 100% coverage on both arms. So yeah, I'm planning on being sore for a while. :/

Second session complete. Sat for 5 hours this time. Also, changed my mind on the UV inks after reading more about them. The lines will just be filled by white.

That may be the nicest tattoo I have ever seen.

I'd like to know the artist, too cause its such a good looking tattoo.

Soo I decided to get another tattoo. As a result, I'm coming back out of perpetual lurker status to post it.

This time, went with a HR Giger piece:


First session:


Second session:


Third session:


I'd guess I'm 40% (?????) done. Shit's insane... and taking so much longer to heal than I expected.

I'm not sure if I've fucked this up (I really don't think I have), but the outline is healed completely and within 2-3 weeks. The second (3.5 weeks old now) session work still looks like outrageously dry skin (like there's another layer of skin to shed) and "milky". The third (2.5 weeks old) session work looks about the same as the second session's. Nothing has been infected, overly scabbed and has been taken super fucking well cared for.

Not sure if anyone has had a similar experience, but I'm semi-worried/freaking out this won't heal well.

wow it looks GREAT quse!!!!!
