Wow.
That is pretty much awesome.
Props!

I can’t, however, believe that with such an awesome sleeve…you have “The Beckham” (as I’m deeming it).

AH, the mistakes we make when we’re young eh?! LOL…..

Modified slightly, so it’s not EXACTLY the same, but it may aswell be the same. 😮

Hours 16-20…..

Forearm Anatomy completed and Koi finally done too!!

Just back from my latest sitting,….

Apart from the bloodlines, which were done a few weeks, all the rest is freehand.

Back again for a LONG sitting next Wednesday, and if any cancellations are made, I’ve got 1st refusal on those too!

Well, if you buy a painting and hang it on the wall, the artist will usually always have signed it. They claim this right, to own the piece they’ve made. I don’t see anything in that signature to detract from the painting, unless of course the painting is shit… then I know that paintings by the same are probably shit too…[Read more]

That has to be one of THE most unique and original pieces I’ve ever seen. I’m not skull fan, nor actually a fan of any of the motifs in that sleeve, but it’s fucking awesome none the less!

Looking forward to seeing new pics every thursday for 4 weeks 😉

Thanks!

I did try and avoid the ‘normal’ routes of sleeve…[Read more]

This is an awesome piece mate!
I don’t like some of the skulls in the biomech part tho, some just look weird.
The koi thingy is cool as hell! I didn’t believe I’ll ever see an original koi design, and here I am.
An original piece combining few different styles, so I guess it’s 10/10 for the creativity.
Overall looks wicked and…[Read more]

do you happen to have any pictures of the color? i know a guy who has a pinkish/red tattoo and the color is not ‘red’ almost like a really bad sunburn color, but do you think that will blend well with the existing color i have now? this would be the 4th time i’ve gone over it, and am starting to worry about scar tissue…[Read more]

as far as the size, and over all design i like it, i just would like to see the edges more crisp and a more constant solid-ability

my tattoo lady said a darker color would fix both of those problems.

Then why not try a more red based pink on your next visit….

Are you happy with it as is?

Persoanlly, I would wait till it’s healed good and proper, and decide what to do only after this has happened.

If after then, it’s not as you want it, then pop back and get it a shade or three darker, more red than pink this time, afterall, the colour will diminish slightly during healing.

Mr S,

Why not go for a ‘Buff’ Neck-piece.

I’m a Fly Fisherman, and use mine in all weather, great for winter, keeps the wind out, and is great for high temps like your experiencing 40hrs a week.

Here is a link to the High UV Protection Selection, I’m afraid this link is a UK site, but I’m sure a bit of web surfing, you’ll find ’em in the…[Read more]

Fourth Sitting….. All linework for adjoining pieces of shoulder and underarm (that hurt!), bio-mech on shoulderblade, and small piece on bicep, along with bloodlines for bicep muscle.

I know most of it is just lines, and shading & tone will create a lot of the image.

Inner Arm View

Rear/Back View …..Excuse the fatty the arm is attached…[Read more]

Third Sitting…. Further Koi/Skull Shading & Bloodlines done for Anterior View of Muscular Anatomy of forearm..

Spot the Skull?

Another View….Bloodlines & Splash/Waves Excuse the Stencil Lines….:o
