well today another one and a half hours of work was added to my sleeve! and one word….WOW! its really come alive now all over the piece. just took some photo’s and although poo im so chuffed i just had to share it!
let me know what you think…tomorrow i’ll get some better/clearer pics up. these just don’t do any justice to the amount of detail there is.
sorry about the angles but as i was taking them myself i had to get my arm right round without disrupting the piece as best i could!
the tattoo’s not bad either LOL :rolleyes:
seriously its looking good , how much your guy charge an hour ?
tana
cheeky:p
being charged £70 an hour…so far im at 11 hours of work. shouldn’t be too much work left i don’t think, the underarm and then the final touches all over.
got some more pics to add. there a little clearer so hopefully more detail should stick out.
i really do need find someone for once its all done and dusted to get some proper pics taken of it….wouldn’t mind one in the style that shows the whole arm over a series of 4-5 pictures. anyone know of anywhere this could be done?
sometimes those photos are photoshopped , its quite easy to totally change an back ground colour in a photo.
but if you wanted it doing professionally most photographers would be willing .
what part of the uk you in i might know someone in the business ..
also just thought id mention , you do know sun can badly damage new tattoo’s dont you ?
keep out of full sun for a while .
it can fade tattoo’s fast .

im from milton keynes however if there’s a decent place/photograher im willing to travel a little bit further. won’t be looking to get it done just yet though….gonna wait till after its all healed after the final session so im thinking nearer to nov/dec is when i’ll be ready for that.
and yep, i know about the sun and how it can damage new tattoo’s. i wasn’t directly in the light in them pics (the shine from the bepanthen makes it look that way). i always cover up till its all healed and then always use some form of sun screen/block whenever i venture out and it’s going to be exposed.
however thank you for pointing it out…sometimes you always miss/forget things!
Thanks for the comments folks! I’m extremely happy and proud of it. Glad I took so long in thinking/gathering ideas, then I guess it was just pure luck to get the right artist to complete the piece.
Next session booked for sept.
The only drawback with the quality of this tattoo is it’s gonna take something special for my other arm to match up to! I’ll get me thinking cap on!
shouldnt be a problem if you stay with the same artist .
by the way i talked with a fellow photographer friend and 90% of the images with black back ground and 3 shots of the same arm the black is photoshopped as i thought ..
if i was you i would just get a friend/family to take some decent pics and then have a go at photoshopping them yourself !!
Hello, thanks for asking for me. I’ll give that a go…just gotta learn how to Photoshop stuff!
As for my other arm…won’t be going to the same artist. Going with an idea of opposites I’ll be lookin for a female artist to do that one. Won’t be for a while anyhow so gotta plenty of time to scout someone out. Also may not even be someone in the uk so I’ll keep my options open.
