Depends where. 2 weeks ago tri and inner arm shaded. Ouch. Most scabing I have ever had. Going back Tuesday. Got 9.5 hrs on it now. 3-4 left. It only a 1/4 sleeve Full sleeve wow.

Try getting one in colour, shading is the most painful on the inner crease of the elbow, im on 40 hours, uncomplete, and its only 2" below my elbow

Running out of tattoo money. Will have to save.
My gunner tattooed a full head of hair on his dad. Looks good

You just need to get to know your artist

I get mine done at the shop still, but hes only charging me $50 per hour instead of the usual $130.

Mind you, hes up to 54 hours on my arms, and we have a good 90+ to go, and he knows im coming back to him, it just works out

I'm at $80 per which isn't bad.
You have a small mortgage on your arm.

Thanks Cape. I just had the Cherub angels, palm trees, clouds and little color added last week. I also want to get a pic of my step dad on the other arm. Pic is of him playing Jesus he is on the cross bleeding, thought that would be a cool way of thanking him for taking care of me since I was 1. Prob be a while tho.

Wow. A lot of thought went into that. I like it more now.

An investment in artwork my friend

only downside is you will never see me in the sun with out a tube of sunscreen applied to my tattoos.

They look as new now as they did the day i got them.

[Wes201]

I have 6 all together. And none of them are visible unless i want them to be. I have to be wearing a tank top and shorts. I was extra carefull to space them all out a couple of years apert from each other. if your not carefull you can get addicted after the first one and then go crazy getting a whole bunch right away. The people who do that are usually the ones end up regreting at least one of them down the road. Although im still proud of all of them, i dont think ill be posting any pics...lol, they are very distinctive and very easily identified by any who has met me and seen them....As probably are most peoples.
I dont feel that it is a big deal to train with a fresh tat. Just keep in mind to take it easy that part of the body were the new tat is cause you dont wanna get a pump thats gonna make the skin stretch and the scabs tear. You can start to bleed and loose a little bit of ink.. thats just my .02 and what i do.

ur right, my current tats didnt cost much over all, I spent a lot of time with them and brought in a shit load of other people for them so I got good deals....but I havent been in a couple yrs now so its probably gonna hurt the wallet at first lol

most of mine are not visible in regular clothing. I have one that is slightly visible..Now I want more that are visible in everyday attire.

Nearly everyone you see 18 - 25 over here in au has a visible tattoo these days, the stigma is going to next to non existent soon enough, im not saying that there wont be people that dont like tattoos, but, having tattoos isnt going to stop you getting a high paying job soon enough, as they wont have any alternative!

I agree. It seems like they are slowly becoming more and more acceptable in the work field. It's silly that there is such a stigma against them. There will always be people that don't like them but isn't that the case for anything? The only thing at this point that is holding me back from sleeving out is my desire to pursue my bodybuilding hobby.

I know im never going to be a body builder, but if i wanted to do fitness/physique, well there isnt anything wrong with have tattoos for that

If you have a bunch it could hurt those goals. How many do you have?

Why are you wanting more visible ones now?

Its not going to happen tbh, unless by miracle anyway. LOL

I have a 3/4 sleeve, will eventually be to my wrist on my right arm.

and 2 large(6 Hour Sessions) Portrait sized tattoos & one small(25 minute job) on my left arm, and that also has plans to be fully sleeved.

It can take away from your definition and be somewhat of a distraction..I guess it really depends on the person/ judges though. I got beat in the lot heavyweight class by a guy who had 2 sleeves and a full bak piece.

You'll lose points for shit ones make sure you use good artists

Because, soon enough, if you dont have one, you'll be seen as an outcast =\

Damn. That's nuts. If your not going pro I guess it wouldn't matter that much.

Thanks buddy. Calve would be cool. Or the thigh

Haha the only problem with us gents getting our thighs tattooed is the fact that most of our thighs are nearly the same diameter as some 'lean' peoples waists, imagine the time it would take to get a full thigh done!

I have seen some big samoans legs done and small Japanese legs done.

Time and money. That's all it takes. Lol
