i started my solar system sleeve today.

It's been too long since my last tattoo, which was in..... July? I think? Once I get my next pricey piece of gear paid for I'm getting inked again, dammit. Tax returns need to come to me NOW.

And yes, Nora, find an artist whose style you like and have them design it.

safe for work, this is a couple hours old. First time I've got something I've drawn myself on me, can't believe how well the dude did with it.
The elbow ditch part SUCKED.

I am really digging the looks of that. Can't wait to see the final outcome!

also gonna cost me a fucking fortune.

Sweet FLAG tattoo mate. I got mine when I was about 20. But it was on the back of my leg. I wish I got it MORE visible.

However, I got the crimson ghost on my wrist......

Still trying to figure out the tattoo I want to get. I don't know enough symbols for bad luck and can't find a good resource for them.

ouch. Yeah in my experience filling usually isn't anywhere near as bad. For me it was just the dots being punched in over and over again that killed. I'm gonna go get more added to this in like April and really not looking forward to the elbow part already.

eeee SO MUCH HAWTNESS.

DAT CALVIN. AND/OR HOBBES. YOU SECHSY BEAST.

i know what i want on my shoulder down to my t shirt line, think it's a bit different style than what my usual guy excels at. like, i've never seen him do pieces that style. BUT. there's a grrL that works next to him at his studio.... is it a dick move to ask him if i can talk to her about it?

Not at all. You don't even have to ask him.

While some people prefer going to the same person, there are plenty of people who go to a different artist every time they get a tattoo. Hell, I had a tattoo done by someone and was (obviously) offered free touch ups. It took her six or seven hours to complete the tattoo and then I think one touch-up session. An apprentice in that shop opened his own and I went to HIM for a good seven hours worth of touch-ups and other tattoos. His shop is now one of the best in the city and I now go to him for everything. I will probably be seeing him again in the summer.

Although, when I get my sleeve on my right arm (whenever that may be), I'll probably go to another dude in this city who is fucking flawless at that style I want.
