I can only agree with everything that’s been said already.
What awesome tats to start with!!! Not a (or nowhere even close) bad tat in there.
Stick with that guy and you’ll be looking great all the time!!!!

What you need to do is take photos that can be loaded up and we can view you in 360 degrees!!! 🙂

Do Japanese dragons not have 3 claws?:confused:

The longer you’re on this forum you’ll see that Matthew speaks a lot of sense.
From personal experience, my first tat was at the top of my arm back in 1992. Thinking back, I wish
I had got it bigger but I’ve recently got it covered up and now have my left/right chest covered with larger pieces and I’m delighted. So, I would…[Read more]

opinions.

When I watch the likes of LA Ink/London Ink, I think the girls look great because…as Knighthawk said…it’s good ink.

As for heavily tattooed…I’d agree on the visible parts being covered.

What else are you having added? Going for wind bars/cherry blossoms?
Love colour but went for black/grey myself. 🙂

Is it fully healed? Might look better in a week or so.

I found the chest was a bit nippy, more so as it edged towards my armpit.
The collar bone was the worst for me:eek:

I think though, for me it was the length of time. First session was 2 1/2 hours and the last 45mins was agony. Every time the needle bit I was gritting my teeth…[Read more]

Have you thought of having the koi where you have a chest plate and a half sleeve as you’ve already mentioned? You would have a definitive outline with the design of the koi/water etc within this?

I have a black and grey Japanese dragon within this on my left chest and I’m getting a black and grey koi on the right to match up.

Didn’t get any problems with colour.
Didn’t scab at all….got peeling instead like sunburn so I then just used an unscented moisturiser and it’s been fine 🙂

Do a Google images search and you’ll probably get a few images.

Good luck.

I’m a big fan of Japanese tats and the black and grey although the coloured in Koi look
great as well.

The artist is a Steve Wrigley. According to searches, he’s a good guy to go to for Japanese stuff.
2 month waiting list.

Seems to be ages away though!!! 🙁

I’m booked in mid May for a similar japanese dragon with the head on my chest…not 100% sure on the rest!!! Have given the artist a few pics but hopefully he can freehand and add wind bars and maybe some cherry blossom. Just going for black and grey though.
Will be good to see yours when it’s done 🙂
