Sleeve has finally started!!!

kick-@ss tat! the ribs are the worst...so your in the clear! although my friend does say the elbow is worse

Actually I didn't think ribs were that bad.. Worst part for me was laying on your side for hours at a time in the same position..

When the needle is over the ribs, it seems to rattle your entire skeleton (I'm pretty skinny, though).

I'm not so skinny and I had that happen.. I actually could feel it in my heart too..


Oh yeah nice tattoo work.. Good art work there..

Thanks for comments everyone!! Been pretty busy lately, we just set up 26 salt tanks @ work so that's been taking up a lot of my time, but the sleeve was completed yesterday!!!!

here's some pics, will try to get some full arm shots soon.

Looks fab, but I don't think I could go through all that pain!

Thanks. Pain's temporary and the outcome is totally worth it. Glad it's over for now, but going to miss getting new ink for awhile. Oh well, might finish my left leg sometime this fall and then start the other sleeve in a couple years

that is sick man.

I like it. A little twisted. I could see you being upset it's over. I've been in that boat for a while now. It's killing me to have to wait until I can get in again. It truly is an addiction.

fine work there man. looks great in my opinion.

Thanks again everyone

The last piece is from a scene from a movie called Cannibal Holocaust. One of the most disturbing flicks I've ever seen so I thought I'd pay tribute to it.

That's sweet. I'd eventually like to get some tats. I'd really like to get sleeves, but first I need to decide for sure what I'd like to do as a career to make sure I'd be allowed to have visible tats on the job or not. I pretty much have my left sleeve drawn up/in my head ready to be drawn up. By the time I know what I want for the other, I might have money to start one
