My next tat is the Eye of Ra on the back of my neck

 

Heres a pic of a nice and fresh one...

 

I just got my first tattoo, with many more to come. It was done at Diablo Rojo here in Austin, TX.

 

that's cool i like it a lot. stingrays kick a$$.

 

I think the hypno-ray now trumps the hypno-toad.

A Scion Life insider joke.

 

I'm thinking about doing a sea turtle on the outside of my left calf in the same design.

Or should I do a different design?

 

I dunno.. IMO i like to keep everything similar (i.e. similar designs, pictures) but it's your body and your personal preference. but i would say go with the tribal turtle to match the ray on your shoulder- it would look cool.

 

Oh....I definitly agree....it is his decision, BUT a turtle in the same style would rock!

 

Oh my!!! That ROCKS!!! What does the Hangul in the center say???

 

Ya, that's very cool. Did you do that in one session? If you did, you have a huge pain threshold

 

Good pointing that out.
In case you guys dont know "Hangul" is the formal name for "Korean."

It says...
"Very wise is he that can know himself."

I got the tribal piece about 3 years ago.
Then the hangul about 1 year ago.

The dragon and the smoke was complete early this year. Took three sessions. Prob about 5 to 6 hours for the dragon and the smoke. Totally custom. I go to the shop Wildcard Studios in DE. They hold that tattoo convention in Alantic City every year, Drawin' the Wildcard.

I plan on getting more on my back and elsewhere, but it just doesnt fit in my budget right now.

 

*sighhhhhhhh* Yep, I think most of us are in the same boat. It's all about the budget ( or lack thereof!). Nice to see something other than Kanji

 

anyone know what area to compare the back to pain wise?

 

I dont follow.

 

I never thought the back was all that painful. I did mine in 6 hour sessions.
Under the arm is much more painful.

 

Breakdown on painful areas:

Very meaty/fatty (stomach, inside of bicep, etc..) - Painful

Very boney (ribs, spine, etc..) - Painful

Boney w/ Meat (deltoid, forearm, etc...) - Not so painful

But if you're pretty tough none of them hurt...

 

and more...

stomach......"OUCH!!!!"
shoulder...... "tell me when you start"
back ............ "do you have to stop? "
backside...... "oh, your done?"
eyelids......... "remind me again why I'm doing this...."

 

haha im a dude but im a member of sciongirls and i have a scarab tattoo i got like 5-6 years ago between my shoulderblades... i hope i dont grow *****, or do i?

lemme find a pic...

 

Nice ink....::takes pics of my tattoos::

I'll post sumtime this week

 

I have a tattoo entirely on the inside of my bicep and it hurt no worse than the others.

I plan on getting a new one that will partly cover my collarbone and I have a feeling that might do a little more than just tickle.
