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. 😮

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

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.

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!

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]

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….

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.

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.

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.
