Sorry, but that looks like the doodling of an LSD user, I can make out leaves but the rest is pretty abstract, I'm trying real hard to see a dead anything with anything wrapped around it, let alone impaled, ran over by a bus maybe? Hopefully it's just a really bad Photo and it looks better in real life...

It's hard to see in that picture, I must admit. Now that it's fully healed, it does look a hundred times better.

It's just landed on a bed of leaves, so the position is odd to say the least, because swallows are normal up-right.

Here are some more, up-to-date pictures (excuse me, I was in my boxers

and lighting is bad because I only have a lamp at the moment):

Here were the original ideas I found on my ImageShack:

I'm really not seeing it, I think there's just too much going on there which is making it a bit confusing. I can make out leaves and maybe a bird's head but then a curly thing next to it makes no sense? Skull looks OK though

Nice ^_^

Thanks I suppose lol.

I do like CC on my tatts though.

Don't you have a really weird symbol as a tattoo?

I have a design which I like, yes. It's not supposed to 'be' anything.

You spend hundreds on a tattoo yet can't afford a light bulb for your main light?!

Hardly the best picture but this is the start of my first sleeve;

Getting the background and gaps filled in the next couple of months

So do I, I'd like to see it in colour. It looks good as it is though as a standalone tattoo never mind being part of a sleeve.

Guys, I'm wanting more ink...I've got a mauri based tribal design on my back.

See here:

I'm looking to either get another seperate tattoo or get it extended further down my back...has anyone got any good links so some mauri stuff I could possibly integrate with it?

Thanks,
Jake

It's hard to get a good picture of mine because it wraps round a bit so no matter where I take the pic fro mit always looks a bit deformed. Anyway, I'd always liked Koi tattoos but not coloured in ones, and ones with eyes... Basically I said to my artist that I wanted a ****ed off looking Koi with only a bit of colour.

Aaaand my first tattoo.

Wan't something dark next.

God this is gonna sound so gay

. When you are getting your arms tattooed do you have to shave them first or are you all hairless :confused:

Doonhamer · 20 Feb 2011 at 13:36

They get shaved

Yeah they shave them. To be fair I have hairy fore arms on top but I didn't get tattooed there. No matter where they do it they tend to give it a once over with a razor anyway.

Most palces start the clock if your paying by the hour for big tattoo's use some imac the day before not as ichy

Thank you both! My friend took that for me as I don't have a decent enough camera but she had mucked around with it and made the contrast look awful. It's all colour though. I'll get a colour picture up once I've had more work done!
