Good job on getting her to do them! How long were you on the waiting list for? Last I looked it was 2 years minimum to get anything done by her.

Frank Carter's tiger is well done too. Nice job! :)

2 years 10 months from phone call to appointment!

I've got an almost full arm from her. 6 week wait for the first tattoo, then 3 months for the next, 6 months for the next then nearly 3 years!

Really like that design. Was it a custom job or did you get it from somewhere?

Got the main design off the net but the artist changed the staff and face little. Im off to get my new one tomorrow, will post some pics when its healed alittle but its a knights shield in white with a red cross through it and some black tribal sort of lines around it.
 
Still in development, shading still to be finished and then the background pattern, i have the wing extending onto my back as well.

Shading started last Friday, so it's a bit red. Currently using Bepanthen on it which the tattooist recommended, nearly used it as toothpaste this morning...

I'm thinking of having this, just not sure where yet.

Whilst it didn't deserve the 'haha' another poster responded with, getting a music based tattoo is usually always a bad idea.

Chances are Anjunabeats trance won't float your boat 10 years down the line, although I think the logo is actually not too bad.

But a case in point, a mate of mine got the Plastikman logo on his back about 15 years ago, given he's no longer into Canadian minimal techno artists, he's regretting it a fair bit.

I'm all for freedom of choice, but it's evident a fair percentage of the tattoos in this topic will be heavily regretted too somewhere down the line.

One thing is certain, given the recent trend for sleeves and neck tattoos, etc, tattoo removals surgery is going to be BIG business in around 10 years time.

Very nice, I do like me some Dragons!

Bepanthen is the way to go, epic stuff the tattoo I posted earlier healed within 4 days!

Taken the day I got it done, hence the super shiney leg and shaved hair.

I have the exact same tattoo on my upper right arm. Hate it though, it was my first tattoo and regret it deeply. It was also a logo used on a can of tesco deodorant as I found out to my dismay, but they seem to have changed it now!
