I think you should have scraped those plates and stuck them in the dishwasher before snapping the photos

J/K It looks cool... I still want to get one someday.

You have the same vinyl floor as I do. And that tattoo looks cool, but post some pics in a few days when it's healed a bit.

I want to get one the guy I work with has quite a few and he gave me his artists buisness card...he says they can get pretty spendy depending on the detail involved not nessesarily the color do you mind me asking how much that one cost? If not thats fine, you can pm me the cost if you want to also. IT looks to be about the size I am interested in. Thanks By the way cool tat.

Treat it carefully for the next few days, it looks well executed.

If it heals well, it's gonna be a killer tat

I don't mind giving the price, it cost £140, for about two & a half hours, the guy normally charges £80 an hour, but I got mates rates.
Don't worry, I've been doing everything the tattooist recomended.
Tbh, I cant wait to get the rest done, I'm getting the body so that it wraps around my arm.
Thanks for the possitive comments. Also, yeah, I forgot about the dishes... but they're sorted now lol

It can't be done, because of the angle & size of the tattoo, it covers over half of my forearm, so it's stupidly hard to get a photo of all of it lol

It'll be easier to make out at least if it's a couple shots, cos right now the flash being right in front with pro tat/bepanthen on it makes it hard to see

Congrats on your first tat.

Unfortunately, now you're only going to want more.

The macro mode is your friend. Otherwise, nice ink. It won't be the last one you get.

Already got the rest of it planned out, I'm gonna have the body tattooed coiled around my arm, going up towards the shoulder, & I already know I want a back piece & mt other arm done, but I'm not sure what on them yet.

Nice piece, looks like the artist really got the black in solidly.
You thought bass GAS was bad? Where else can 160 = forever?
