I foregot to put this in my initial post.

These pix were taken a few days after my second session.My tattoo has been touched up and is fully healed and completely done. I will get some pictures of the final healed product.

Props to anybody who notices the old man’s face in the trunk of the tree.

D3fianc3 – I will have to look into some of those artists. It looks like they do some really nice work.

MrChen – Where are the artists you mentioned located? Im sure you’ve probably said it in a past reply, But are any of them in South Carolina?

MistressOfPain – I will check your album out. I hope it goes well for you! Let me know how it turns out!

I didnt notice this until I seen a really good blown up quality picture, Like the one you posted, But whats all that white on the back of the panthers back? Is that scarring? Did the ink not take?

I’ve looked at it myself. See my problem is, this is my first tattoo. I dont know what to look at as far as whats considered good quality over bad quality. My uncle has 2 really good peices that he’s done, But I overheard that there was a screw up on my uncles fireman 9/11 tattoo. Im set for Saturday at 5pm.

I’ll keep an eye out! What kind of theme and deisgn did you go with for the sleeve?

Mistress Of Pain – I guess my artist called my uncle. But my uncle decided to stop by my house and tell me at the last minute last night, After I had already called my artist and heard it from him.

Thank you for all the advice and replies. I will keep all the advice and information in mind.

Thank you everybody for the responses.

MrChen – I am going with a fairly large leg peice.

I appreciate everybodies advice and will keep it all in mind.

This thread will be flooded with pix once I get my first ink, So be prepared.

Im mainly just trying to find some good examples to show him. I’ve googled Tin Man and Tin Man tattoo’s and only come up with a handful of good examples and pictures he could show to the artist.

Thank you for such a great pic! I will show it to my dad as soon as he gets in from work. Is it yours? Or did you find it online?

I found a few tin man tattoo designs my dad really likes, Now I guess we have to wait until we go to the shop and artist we plan on using to get a sketch and see what my dad thinks.
