I have one and my girlfriend has one.
One tribal on back, may get my baby girls name on my inner bi
My wife has eight baby
I like this, my only.one and it is a cover up. I used a cheap poor artist for my first one.
I want a sleeve on my left armbut I am afraid the day i want to compete it will affect the judging. I think I will still get it though. I would get a sunset from the beach I grew up on where my grandfather started the first ferry to the island, the mountain with light on top that i grew up snowboard on, water of course with a fish design maybe some kelp or other sea life, oh and def some waves.
I found a good artist in Vancouver I am going to book...
I have 3 I have the start of a sleeve on my left upper arm that will be a sleeve when done, another on my right bi, and one between my upper shoulder blades. My wife has 2. A celtic cross between her shoulder blades and a little Greatful dead bear just above her right leg on her panty line.
Have a complete sleeve on my right arm. Just finished it last month. Gonna cap my shoulder soon up to my collar bone. Putting my Great Danes names on top of my shoulder. Then after that is done we will see where else
I've stopped counting lol, for me i keep track in hours of work now. I'd say I've got close to ~50hrs of work on me. arms (getting close to sleeves)/chest/delts. I'll be texting my artist soon to see when he gets back from an expo in Cali so we can get some more work done :hump:
i can't say i regret any at this point. i dress in professional attire for work and i think most ppl i work with would be surprised to see some of the shit I've got on me. i guess i project a clean cut, professional, educated, maybe "too good for tattoo," type vibe but fuck that I'd be covered if i had the time and money. compared to some friends i barely have any ink on me. for example one dude got the back of his head done recently, sleeved out to include the tops of his hands (which i love, it think sleeves look so much better when the top of the hand is included) he legitimately is running out of space.
Being slightly over 30 now i do try to keep my ink more meaningful and as life goes on and keeps getting better i have more meaningful things to inspire new ink. it's a win win really. plenty of people have asked me the whole "what are you gonna think when you're old?" my thought is always "well if I'm lucky enough to live to be old i probably won't give a shit. I'll be old and tattooed, so what?" I've got some pretty big pieces that aren't exactly nice in theme but they are emblematic of the way life was for me when i got them. others might not understand or accept my acceptance of them, but i do. they're on me, they're mine, so i don't care what anyone thinks.
My two favorite ones
