Finally got the tattoos on my arm completed

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Oh, those kind of skin pictures (Image removed from quote.)

Should I set up my mirrors?

[Neil]

[Paul]

Just not yours Ben  

Nah, they're OK...
For some strange reason they dont all look that good when you get older, and that rampant Eagle you get now turns into a Christmas Turkey with time.

That's what my ex's all said

[Paul]

Sorry fellas - I thought it was just borderline myself.

How they look in time is a big consideration of mine, so that's why most are simple and quite bold.

Seen a few good skin pictures done by that Kat Von D, and I was wondering how such fine work fairs with time - I can imagine it turning smudgey, but I don't really know....

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Mine are fine, but it's only been about 5 years

[ryan1835]

zeds had his for a few years if you ask him

[AHB]

I've had mine for about 18 yrs. and they're holding up fine.. 

[ryan1835]

actully my grandad must have had his tattoo about 65 years when he passed away and that was still readable/ looked okay

I always think that and I expect it all depends on the individual.  I have a portrait, but purposefully had it on the top of my arm in an attempt to preserve it later in life.

looking good mate, yeah ive had mine for along time, oldest about 22 years ago and as its on my chest its stood the tesy of time better than say my arms, ill get them re-done one day , 

[Benner]

Well turns out I lied here 

After careful consideration I have decided that I need more shading - a lot more shading.

So, I now need to raise £200 to fund my next session to get all my hollow tribal shaded like this;



THEN it will be complete 

[Gareth]

LOL, addict.    It'll look good though mate.

[Benner]

That will be the last one I swear! 

Love the spacing of my current one.  Just needs to be "completed" more.

[AHB]

More shades will definitely give it the final touch.. 

Anything you need to shift to get the funds..?   

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

It'll never be done mate, you know that

I really want this one

[Benner]

More shades will definitely give it the final touch.. 

Anything you need to shift to get the funds..?   

Sadly, anything I'd be parting with would be a OH matey. 

[AHB]

Ouuch Mikey... 

I'm saving my spare cash so I'm kinda glad they're off-limit Ben.. 

[nuphoria]

More shading will definitely make it pop - more depth is always good in ink I reckon

That Warhammer one is great work, albeit not my personal geeky cuppa tea 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Well the Warhammer one cost the guy $2k and 900 hours aparently so I'll not be getting it short of a lotto win
