The JOKER! Isn't this the craziest thing you've ever seen? I'm wicked happy with it, the scar in his smile looks absolutely real! I got this done sunday at the mass tattoo and arts festival. It took four hours, considering it was done at convention, that's pretty good.
Here's my artist, Evan Olin's website.
He's from Baltimore and speciaizes in realistic horror. Lemme know what you think!

get a photobucket account and upload the pics to it. then copy the IMG code under the pic and paste it into a reply here.

taken about an hour after it was done
wish i wasn't so hairy, it's still growing back
cheers btw ^^
Tempted to get a tat..... and I actually have some idea as to what I'd get
So, how painful is it to get one on your chest/shoulder/bicep area?
But for the most part, I think they are all painful.
the detail on that is AWESOME! I love it!
It ranges anywhere to unpleasant to quite painful depending on where they're working and what technique they're using i.e. outline v. shading, etc.Im not saying I wouldn't get a tat cus it would be painful. I just like to know whats entailed before I jump in with both feet![]()
when it comes to pain, i think it varies by the artist as well as the placement. some artists have heavier hands than others and tend to hurt more, but those are usually the better artists :-/. but yea after awhile u get used to the pain, it becomes more annoying than anything. for me, the most painful spot so far has to be the top of my shoulder, coller bone. that xxxx is all bone and hurts like heck. just check out lots of artists when u decide to get one. there are trillions of tattoo artists out there so going to the one right down the street can be a bad idea. good luck tho

But it'll all be worth it when you bend over and the back of your shirt rises up just enough to let that special someone scope out your tribal inspired butterfly.
