Tattoo Pictures
 

I'm not sure if anyone is interested or not, but I thought I'd post it anyway

Here is the stencil before tattooing began:

These pictures only show the outlining. There are still many hours of shading/filling and coloring to be done. So if it looks incomplete, it is . I still have probably between 10 to 15 hours left to go!

I'll probably be posting pictures all the way through the process. Next session(s?) will be black work and shading. This will dramatically change the look, as all the background behind the dragon will be mostly black and grey.

Jay

The majority of the dragon is going to be blue, with some orange and yellow as well.

Thanks! When I got my first tattoo (the anhk on my shoulder, which is going to be covered) I never thought that I would end up with an entire sleeve...so never say never :)

How painful is it to get a tatoo on the back? I want to get one on my right shoulderblade.

I'm planning on a tattoo that covers my shoulder and glides over to my back and chest, nothing too big though.....

I have 3 tatts. 1 on each arm and on big one on my back. I wont lie, it hurt on the back. It was not bad by the spine, but out on the sholder and the soft spots inbetween hurt like hell.

It is about as painful as it is going to be. If you want it you'll suck it up and get it. They hurt, that's the point.

Why not ask someone had much it hurts to stubb their toe? Describe that to me. :)

Jay

are your tattoos done??

I have one on my arm. I think the best way to describe how it feels is that its much like getting burned. I like mine and if you just dont think about it then its not so bad. I will say when they first start it feels like you getting poked a thousand times a second or some thing. I wonder why? :D

Had the second session on Saturday. 3.5 hours. Will have pics online shortly.

I've got the same piercing in my left ear (industrial).

-Who thinks 15 is WAY too young to get tattooed.

Hey hey,

Here are all the pictures. It will be kind of interesting once the whole thing is done, kind of a photo journal of the process.
