Well sir you should suck it up and get er done

the most pain from a tattoo is the taking care of it afterwords.. or when someone doesnt know about it and slaps you on your shoulder..

pain during.. i say getting my eyebrow pierced hurt more then the pain and prcedure of the whole tattoo

Geez, don't look for a day and we got two more pages!

Okay, shout to Dustin for bein' a badass!

Mine's healing up real nice. I'm a bit slow to heal on stuff usually so I'm probably right on track. I really do like this thing!

Just depends on the artist, and where they live. My guy is good, REAL good, he just won first place for best color piece at the long beach tattoo show, he could EASILY charge 150+ per hour for his work, but he just charges 100....just depends where you go, really.

It helps if you go to the same artist alot, they'll generally hook you up if you're a frequent customer. :-)

i have used his guy and he is good. only person i plan on going to get my tattoos done.

Here's one of mine. I've got two others on my back but I don't think I could take pictures of those easily...

Taking pics of your upper back is like utterly impossible to do by yourself...

So instead... here's a pic of what I drew...

As I had stated before... when I got it done, the guy messed up the shading... but I love the way it looks, just need to get it fixed somehow...

Also in the process of designing more around it...

Enjoy!

Guess I should've explained that...

The sun and stars is from the filipino flag... the symbol in the middle is my last name in alibata...

Thanks for the compliment!

Welp, met with my artist last night. I'm getting the knee done at 1pm today. I'm gonna charge my camera up while I'm out doing errands and take some pics when I get home.

3 hours on the slab. Gotta go back after it heals up to color in the faces and touch things up a tad. We were both getting kind tired and antsy to get some food.

Man, my leg is still swollen. Apparently this is a sensitive spot. Who woulda think it right? I'll try and put up some pics next week to show after it's healed up a bit more.
