Steve and Firemedic..... NICE work guys!
I did 6 hours on my last Tatoo's just over a year ago. Never again. Don't need to though as I am pretty inked up on my upper arms and shoulders. At almost 50 years of age I have to stay in the gym a lot to keep 'em looking good.
Barkoff and others, agree 100% on don't get one 'cause its trendy now, make it count and be sure you will want it for life. That is has real meaning to YOU...
I wish I could post pictures and might try again soon but mine are evangalistic scripture tatoo's.
Left arm / shoulder area is the three crosses on Mount Golgotha with recently added nails and blood added to the middle cross and the words "For God so Loved - YOU" right underneath. Beneath that is an armband of big nasty looking thorns with goodly amounts of blood dripping and many of the thorns looking as though they are digging into my skin. Tattoo artist was / is a Christian dude and a tremendous artist.
Right side artwork was done by my talented Daughter and given to me as a Fathers day present from her about six years ago. She worked on it for over a year. My idea or concept but her handwork onto tracing paper. She went with me to the Tatoo parlor with the tracing paper artwork in hand and consulted with the tatoo artist while he did the work. It shows a foot and part of a leg with a big honkin nail going through the foot, blood dripping, into the head of a Viper like venomous snake, obviously squishing his head and breaking a tooth while driving the spike from the foot into the snakes brain. Underneath the artwork is the scripture reference of Genesis 3:15 which is the first prophecy about Christ in the bible and given by God himself. Under the scripture reference is an armband of large log type chains but with the middle link broken and crumbling down my arm with the words "DEATH" and "SIN" signifying the victory over the chains of death and sin that Christ won at the cross.
I have pictures of these saved in my computer and can e-mail them but have not put them into a photo serving format or such. I am still a computer dinosaur.

I get my last two Tues and Fri...Neptune on R shoulder with "Hold Fast", and St. Florian on L shoulder with "Stand and Fight I'll Stand with you" in latin. My soon to be former old lady hated ink! I also have a pirate flat and treasure chest under a dive flag shaped like Florida and "Dum Vivimus Vivamus".

Probably mid December. Take me that long to kinda forget the pain. I can see in your photo posted that your skin is still red and swollen. Memories, man... memories! I have used triple antibiotic cream + (the plus means it has a mild topical analgesic in it) in the past with excellent results. Tatoo's looked and felt like they had been there all along after only a couple of days. E-mail sent, I hope you like the shots.

I find the more you have the less it matters what they are to an extent. now days my buddies call me and say "hey I drew soemthing I think you'll like, do you want it?" ANd I either say yay or nay. I have'nt got any decent pictures of them here, but my arms are both done, I have to do my other hand and neck when I get home. On a side note my old lady isn't what you would call a tattoo enthusiast- at all...

I don't plan on out lasting it. And if I do I'll be too old to care.
