Thanks but 30lbs less muscle than this time last year. Too many injuries and not enough money to eat like that at the moment. At least my clothes fit better... ;)

Sgt Rick, my niece was told the same thing after she came home with a tattoo (from college) years ago.
Very funny, cracked me up.

Continuing the kind of piratical theme- the first one is inspired by the film The Princess Bride

The second on is a line from a favourite song called 'Swashbuclin' in Brooklyn'. It reads- He used swords and daggers and kung-fu whatnot..' :)

Yeah. I tried to do my upper back today and ended up with several shots of the back of my head....

Ha... I once got rather too tiddly at a friend's birthday party. Going through the camera the next morning, I found about two dozen shots of the top of my head, bits of my ear, my shoulder, black walls..... looked lie I'd been trying to take one of my own face and kept missing...

Nice - goes with the rapier. ;)

Still no ink on me, but plans have evolved significantly.... big question is whether I can fit all the ideas I want into a half-sleeve of sorts.....

hahahaha it sounds like you had a wild night Edward haha :) I had a friend that had a similar experience accept the pictures he was shown latter were of him dressed his his friend's fiance's clothes and a pretty shade of lipstick hahaha I didnt ask details, apparently there was more haha! o_O

oh and if you have a idea planned out for a tattoo and you aren't sure if it will fit in the size area-space you want, talk with your tattoo artist and he/she will most likely be able to work something out to your liking :)

In my circles, drag is usually where the evening starts.

That's the plan... I have to get the first one, though, and see if I can hack the whole needle thing. I doubt it'll be a problem (I wish I had my brother's ludicrously high pain tolerance - it's a crying shame, on that front, he's never been inked).

Finally got a decent picture of my favorite self-drawn tattoo.

Nice! Looks great. More generally, that's the kind of back I want for the big piece on my arm. Not full ink coverage, but enough to pull it all together as one, rather than a whole bunch of separate pieces.

Looks fantastic!! You're a great artist!

Fear of needles and pain sensitivity have little to do with getting a tattoo - I have both and I have been tattooed successfully multiple times. :)

Your design concept is interesting. Most people start with several separate pieces and then tie them in together.
