Wow, that’s a tough-one! My only guess would be a sun in yellow & orange (would look nice with your back peice) and have the outisde of the sun done in black shading.
Good luck.

Take a peek at my photo album. I have a full Japanese sleeve (right) and I have a pagoda on my right forearm, I also have Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave’ on my right inside bi-cept and lot’s of Cherry Blossums for fill-ins. But I also have a Dragon, a Samurai & a Geisha too. Maybe you can add some Japanese birds into your sleeve. I’ve seen some really…[Read more]

I’m just going to make this quick & simple. I like Tattoo’s, on woman too. I will give the old saying ‘It’s YOUR body, do what You want” but I also know that can be hard, if your fiancee dosen’t like them. It’s not always easy jsut to say , ‘I’ll do what I want’ sometimes. But Thank-God my wife let’s me do what I want with my body. She has Always…[Read more]

Yes, I agree. Very different and kind-of cool looking. Does she plan to add onto it?

Dude, if you only had it done 2 days ago, give it a good 4-6 weeks to heal-up. I have to full Black & Gray sleeves and black work looks Much darker when new. Once it’s healed, then you’ll have a better idea of how it looks. So far, it looks pretty noce to me. Do you have a copy of the original work so we can compare it too?

Although I hate to quote someone else:
“very beautiful……. and the tattoo is nice as well :D”
I have to Totally agree, it fits your body lines very nice. Sometimes this is over-looked and a nice design & artwork just doesn’t come out as nice, if the placement is not right. Thumbs-up to your artist!

For me personally, I like the Kanji symbols better than just straight English letters for MY tattoo. I got mine (Family) after my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I also understand it’s not for everyone. I remember sitting in a bar one day and the guy next to me, sparks up a conversation about tattoo’s. At first I thought he was just mak…[Read more]

I would say 3 days is fine. Shouldn’t hurt to cover (bandage) it up during your training and then remove afterwards.

Personally, I’m always dumb-founded by the above response to questions posted on the boards. I’ve always taken the old-school approach of “the only dumb question is the one not asked” yet when someone does ask (no matter how many…[Read more]

Well, as I’m sure others will say, ‘Everyone’ is different. Just like different areas of the body, feel different (pain levels) that is. It’s been a long time, but I don’t really remember the calf being that bad. For me, the arms and even the insides (full sleeved) are nothing. Now the sides of my ribs is a different story. Although I can take it,…[Read more]

Hello and Welcome. 1st, let me start with the ‘standard, short, answer’: Hey, it’s your Tattoo, get what you want. Now, with that said, hear on some of My thoughts. To me, getting Inked is not something to take lightly. What I mean is, don’t just go out in a drunken stuper and get something, just because it saounds liek a cool idea (at the time).…[Read more]

As the others have said, I would suggest something smaller, just for the 1st Tat. Just to make sure it’s something for you and you really need to put alot of thought into getting a piece, before jumping in. I know alot of people who have some ink, they reget getting. I have never had that problem. I may reget the artist I’ve used, but not the ink.…[Read more]

Demure, the 15 Cherry Blossoms are spread-out, all down the arm. So, it’s not a Cherry Blossom sleeve, they are just part of the entire Japanese theme. I’ll try to get an album started, once I take some good pictures.

I agree. Black & Grey, no color! I have the ‘Great Wave’ tatted on my inside, right bicept. Only in Black & Grey and looks Awesome. I’ll try to get some pictures for you to see it.

Yes, Black will look good, but you will want shading. It brings out the details so much better. I don’t have any good pictures of my work on me, but I have 2 full Black & Grey sleeves. I also have about 15 Cherry Blossoms on my right sleeve and they look great! Any good artist will make it look good. Just check out their portfolio and find someone…[Read more]

Some other ideas about the passing of time:
A tree with falling leaves
Sundial, with a shadow coming off of it, showing a monent in time
a dying flower

There are other ways that could have the meaning of passing time to you, but might need explaining of it’s meaning to others when they see the tattoo? Remember, the meaning is for you and doesn’t…[Read more]
