My Japanese style full sleeve, around 80-90% finished:

Kanji on my right forearm (it's my wife's name in Chinese):

And the first one I ever got, a tribal on my right upper-arm/shoulder. Yes, I know it's pretty generic, but it was my first tattoo and I wasn't feeling very adventurous. Besides, I like it :cool:

And yes, I am a hairy **** :o

Congratulations on ruining your arm

You are right, the tattoo has rendered my arm unable to move, and is now a colourful piece of meat dangling from my torso with no use.

Sorry if I passed judgement too soon on DreXel's sleeve. I suppose it has meaning, perhaps something to do with his job. Do you work in a fish and chip shop then?

The meaning of the theme does tie-in with my life, but that's not the primary reason for having it done. The main reason for having it done is because I find it aesthetically pleasing. Quite simple.

Presumably you have a tattoo to show off then? If not then why are you in this thread?

Thanks to the others for the positive comments BTW.

How long did it take to get that done? Looks good. Must have been hard applying the aftercare cream to it lol
Thats one reason I wouldnt get my back done. I would have to get someone else to cream it up.

took 3 month's to do.

sat there once for 6 hour's.

it was done about 10 year's ago now.
 
Here are my three. First one is pretty generic, other 2 I designed myself, with a bit of help from my brother in law, who is also a tattoo artist (in one of the best places in central Scotland).

Really liking the red and black theme. Goes with your skin tones perfectly, the tatoo designs are pretty sweet too :D
How long you had them? The colours are looking great.
 
Thinking of getting another tattoo. I have my mind set on a guitar on my arm.

Something a bit like this:

I have told my friend who designed the previous one to have a shot of doing guitar tattoos now :D
