Decided to get a new tattoo... Me any my wife got our new tats today.
Mine took a tad over 3 hours, and of course hers were fairly quick.
Quick run down on mine: Two swallows, banner with Irish Family motto-Percussa Resurgo. MEANS "WHEN STRUCK DOWN, I RISE AGAIN"
wife's: chinese knotwork, and characters for her grandfather that passed away.
I intended on getting and still do the knotwork. But I was ready to get out of the shop and eat some food. Plus, the sternum wasn't too forgiving.

Looks great man. I have several tattoos myself: two back pieces, one on each shoulder blade area, spine area kanji tattoos, asian Hanya/Dragon half sleeve, and an Irish shoulder piece. 'm saving to get my one Irish shoulder piece re-colored and expanded.

Yeah, reason was I preferred it on the chest. Something like that wouldn't make much sense to me on the back. And no, that area is free for now. A full back piece will be there eventually. I'm heading overseas in a month, mods are getting underway when I return on the Tahoe. So I figured I might as well get a new piece done since it's been 2+ years since my last one
Thanks for the compliments. It turned out great I think, so far all but two now like it. My mom being the first, go figure.
Guess it's a good thing I put it on me and not her! Trending Topics

No problem, I just got the brakes in today. A buddy works for NAPA, so he got me his discount and shipped them to me. I may try tomorrow, if not then Tuesday. I just been busy getting things done while on leave. Bought a overpriced coffe table/dinner table(lift top that seconds as a dinner table) today and had to bring it home. Still need a couch...
to the post on the time it took, it took almost 3.5 hours. it looks huge, but there wasn't alot of detail except in the bird. Longes time was of course just the outline.
