Halfway through


Finish...about 30 minutes after.

 

all done the traditional way (hammer and needle)

 

That's hardcore..... how long does it take that way?

 

most people don't even know what is is.

 

And is it true that it doesn't hurt as badly as traditional tattooing?

 

I'm glad I revived this topic.
Great tattoos guys.

 

this pic makes your leg look like it's made out of rubber.

Heres my newest work in progess :

 

Great colors man.
Who does your work?

 

Ive got a good freind that hooks me up. His name is Chris Rupps. Thanks btw, I like your back peice. This leg peice will eventually go all the way up to the upper thigh. I have about 6 more hours on this, which I will hopefully have completed in my next session this weekend coming up.

 

well its been about a year project now. and that $hit hurts. I dont wish that pain on anyone

 

I'll stick with the gun.
I like old school, but not that much........lol

 

okay. I wanna get a tatoo on the inside of my right ankle but heard it's extremely painful. Is that true?

 

It's all relative.
It's more painful than getting one on your thigh, but not as painful as getting one on your foot.

 

Here's my wifes new tattoo's. The dice and cherries have been there but the stars are new.

I will post my new one as soon as it is done. I have about 4 hours in it and about 3 more to go.

 

That's sweet looking.

 

I like it too.
The Tattoo artist (Tim Martin, brainstorm tattoo) wants her to let him do some swallows on the ends to finish it off. :D

 

Just got my leg completed on Sunday, so it doesnt look tip top yet. Sorry for all the pics, wanted to give you guys the all the way around look. 30 hours of fun...

 

Awesome

 

Thanks! I took the pics myself, it looks much better in person. My artist and I are planning the next step, which is to bring the leg piece all the way up my thigh.
