filip leu, jeff gouge, shige, chen brave tattoo, hernandez, carlos torres, richard pinch, oleg, genko, timothy hoyer (if we couild get him excited about the piece),

be careful how you choose an artist, this piece is pretty rough, huge thick line fuzzy line work, looks 20 years old, they really didnt know how to shade either, be careful, check an artists portfolio before getting anything

lighten with laser, cover it, as it stands it wouldnt cover well

cool, sounds like a nice job,
I did work for a giant electrical mechanical contractor in maryland right out of the marines, I was a buildings automation systems lead mechanic, I had a 5 foot 2 blond, blue eyed helper on my crew, caaught so much shit about it it really wasnt worth it, she was the only female we had in the field at the time (mid 80’s)

Im with yodaddy on this one, not sure about this artist……………

yeah too dark to cover,
a full color sleeve could employ a coverup of this tattoo,

your artist colored some spots in solid black but the piece could still be jazzed up alot

bananabread, are you out on a maintenance crew?

cool, I cant recall seeing anything quite like it, want to see it done

I am one of the many members on here that doesnt like text or quotes,
I dont believe their are any words by anyone that deserve to be quoted on your 100% original body,

but if you are set on a quote, for gods sake no name, no one deserves to be named on your skin, no one is that important

welcome to our nut house, enjoy

no doubt a great big piece thats going to look fantastic completed, you need to remind your self of that when you think of the pain, the worst is over now, shading and color wont hurt as bad as that liner,
the piece is just the right size, super large fits you perfectly, congrats

I guess I am with love on this one, men are evil, money is just money,

watching and waiting……………………….
