right now the dharmacakra's looking less impressive in comparison but the color/shade will change that

what is the thing that's not a dharmacakra? it has a kind of jim woodring vibe

nice work, clouds, your tattoo artist did a fantastic job. and it DOES look very woodring-ian!

thanks! and yes my dude is amazing. after finishing the vajra he said "that looks like the beginning of a sleeve" which is totally true. i can see this becoming an addiction :o

Getting a lord baphomet right now.

That's a well done Satan!

now to conceal it from my mother for the remainder of my life!

Most people spend their whole lives hiding things from their mother, right? All you need is sleeves!

yarp. hence the location :)

my left arm at this point is a de-facto whole sleeve in progress. I have an idea that's cute whereas the rest of the arm is more wicked-lookin' and I'm not sure whether to just have a part that's more cute than wicked or find another spot for the cute thing

Rock.

I've wanted to get started on my right arm (other than the Black Label skateboard logo I've had for 13 years) for ages and had no real plans to do so until I visited my Seattle and a friend of my brother-in-law was in town tattooing and one thing led to another and I ended up spending five hours getting this:

Nice! Is the design something you brought in?

sick

i'm getting the jones for a third

It's hanuman, from a massive painting of the ramakien in the thai grand palace. I brought in a photo I took and the guy tweaked it and added the clouds and mountains, and left it open for future sleeving purposes. I feel vaguely like a lout being a non-buddhist and non-hindu.

so dope that is awesome

Woah

Slayer theme continues on right arm. bad camera angle but man this guy did some dope shading..

got reminded today that i have a self made tatt: wood carbon crayon i jammed in the palm of my left hand some 30 years ago, forgot the deets. the black dot is still there.

Damn, HSB, they did a nice job there. Next you need the Slayer logo as a bagel crossed with shmear knives and spread with sour cream, SLAYER written in lox.

yeah I'm gonna seek this guy from now on. he's so precise.

hmm, giving me ideas. that might finally be the ass tattoo I've been long desiring.

might have to start a separate ass-tattoo thread which i will NOT bookmark no offense

As if your body wasn’t already unique
You went and put an image of an espresso on your arm

really takes the right person to wear a tattoo

So many people get them to look cool and just end up looking like try hard knobs

Or to look tough. What makes a person tough has nothing f to do with what branding they put on themselves

I am exceedingly glad that "Suck or Rock" never supplanted "Classic or Dud".

Is that a 1950’s style rocket ship on your arm?

just happy to see you :)

I am so not "getting" this tattoo thing / do you guys want to look at each others ink?

Before the NBA draft, Charles Jenkins was asked why he didn't have any tattoos. "You ever see a bumper sticker on a Maybach?" he said.
