Tattoos

I actualy pianted my arm black a few weeks ago to see what it looked like (It looked pretty good) and it even convinced my hesitant girlfriend. Not really into scarification/branding though, one step to far for me.

Heh, I have thought about getting blocks of black on myself.

Oh I didnt mean for you to go and scarification or branding too! I meant thats what some of them are wanting to do :)

I got a branding done on my leg about 5 years ago, its faded like mad now and you can only really see it when my legs are really tanned as it stays white. Never been able to pluck up the courage to get a tattoo yet, really don't like needles!

Hehe, Im the other way round!

I know quite a few people going through blackening up their sleeves, some of them are hoping to do scarification/branding on top. But I most defintely agree on you on it being a big step.

you can also use white ink on top....

Im thinking of having a completely black sleeve. Its quite a big step. I have been thinking about it for years but have yet pluck up the courage.

I've got from my shoulder down to my forearm done so far and part of the forearm near the wrist. I'm going from my collarbone to my hand so a little bit more and I'll have a fully black left arm. It's time consuming and will probably need a few layers if you don't get it all the sessions near eachother. Bear in mind too, some artists find it boring (even though they probably wont say that) and I've experienced shit service from two tattooists who charged me the same 60 quid an hour for less and less work each time. Now I get it done by a friend who tattoos and is good with the large mags and black.

After my arms finished I'm going to start on my right leg (more heavy blackwork), ankle up to knee in a honeycomb pattern. Should be good :)

If you don't mind paying for the same design about four or five times over, yeah.

Here is my blackwork sleeve about three weeks ago;

That looks good Dante, I like them in blocks! One of the photos makes your arm look awfully lanky though haha

@concrete, couldn't you just get amateurs to practice on you :)

Haha yeah only angle I could get to capture most of the blackwork, I'm a short arse so my arms aren't very long really.

Thanks, I think there's a good 7-9 hours into that so far, I've lost count a little.

Hellyeah

haha @ the princess bit.. funny considering whats tattooed on my toes!

I've got my forearms done and I pay taxes, something's not right in my life.

What's on your toes?

Go back a page Dante :)

I vowed I'd never get my hands done, then about 6 years ago I caved.
I'm still super happy with it even though I know its gradually turning blue(it was done with rotring pen ink & bamboo attached to a snapped off car radio aerial, i look back now, laugh & go WTF not FTW) ...still got the bug, still got some virgin flesh, damn, this thread has got me itching for more ink

Not yet posted before on this site was put onto it by my older brother (can you guess who he is)thought I will post now as I am into the tattoo's as I know just a little about them a bit more than what I do than fixed wheels. I do not yet have one still making my mind up for what I want.
