What other elements did you want to include in the half sleeve?

Wow.

I don’t know where to begin on that.

Asians have more of a tendency for keloidal scarring.

A geisha’s kimono should be extravagantly patterned. That’s how one could tell if she were one of the top geisha, talented in all sorts of entertainment and which also meant she was high priced. The more stuff she had in her hair also signified her status.

Also, the Noh theater where the masks are from, are generally more associated with…[Read more]

Some tatts take longer to heal than others.

One of mine took a good month from needle on to completely healed while another tok only 6 days. I don’t know what the difference was since it was the same artist for both, I did the same after care treatment. Just one decided to not give me grief and the other wanted me to care for it longer.

Agreed, but I look forward to the pics if she does it.

I’ve got visible tattoos, of course I’ve got to be somewhat of an attention whore.

If I really do it, I’ll post up pics. maybe.

thank you all!
the artist and i are still tossing around ideas for the background but a red moon is top of the list so far. i will update whenever that happens. i still have 3 more weeks minimum for healing.

I rushed into the second larger band since I had a celtic obsession, what can ya do now. The artist did as I wished at the moment without comment. The shading would definately make it look better and not stand out so much, thanks for the visual. I was considering that. How about some dark overlapping celtic/viking theme that…[Read more]

I’m not sure I see vintage in the items you have listed for your tat. It looks to me that they are more time based, with the exception of the sugar skull. Maybe you should run with a time based tattoo- Clocks, Hour glass, pocket watch in the background could be made up of gears and stuff?

Personally, I think the sugar skull…[Read more]

nice and big……so what’s next?

The way the samurai is postioned I think it’s probably going to look better if he’s facing away from the geisha. Why do you ask? I was thinking of having the samurai on the top of my arm, with cherry blossom kind of framing him around my shoulder. the geisha would be further down, perhaps on the inner arm but any suggestions…[Read more]

The samurai is sideways facings, crouching slightly and holding a sword. The geisha is forward facing. Her kimono is fairly plain, it just has a few swirls on it.

generally, a geisha’s kimono is extravagant and the patterns generally tell you what season it is. This is why I asked about the kimono pattern. The more…[Read more]
