Nice one MM The face on that is superb
Cheers for posting it

 

thanks and no problem. oh and I just noticed we share the same Birthday although i'm slightly older

 

The date and the taste must be connected somehow lol.

 

still very vibrant in colour MM like it

 

Gargohlyes in Halifax well Elland actually. The owner has around a 8 month waiting list. The guy who did mine has aprox a 5 month waiting list.

Et Voila (in my best Spanish lol)

Thats a long **** waiting list innit lol, but it pays to wait for sure.

 

looks good, just need to get the background filled in

 

A background of a good choice would look coooool

 

this is one of mine and i must say nothin near as extravagant as ure lot

 

This is my other halfs latest ink.. he needs to go back for a 'quick' sitting to reshade a couple of the windbars but other than that...

it's taken 12 hours so far

 

Fellas, just to reply to a few questions....

The line work only took 1hr 30mins

Im looking at having it a dark greenish colour with the flames (lol..they are there somewhere) orange/red/yellow........what do you think? any opinions appreciated

undecided as yet but gonna have some surrounding feature I think of some kind to fill in the space as it were

 

Bibi, thats a nice lil piece, I like things like that

Ginge I have to say thats rather nice Is it just the outside or going right round the inside ? Does look really nice though

Jimmy, really!! Thats bloody good going! As for colours sounds ok to me This is what im going for, roughly.



Like you have chosen too, a contrast is always good
As for the background, what are you thinking? A scene or just something like smoke? I went for the idea of black and grey to make the colours pop out more (when they get done lol)

 

I really like the colour in that tbh mate, and yes, black/grey would be good to bring the colour and dragon out I reckon, given me some nice ideas to toy with now bud

 

No worries mate I love that pic too, the colours just pop so nicely, so would work great with black and grey behind it

Look forward to seeing what you go for in the end mate, WIP pics are a must. How long you reckoning for colouring? Are you going full colour or just highlights?

 

LoL...I have no idea bud, I have like 2 weeks to decide tho

 

Well........... I had almost given up, but today it happened!
After 4 hours of my friends being tattoo'ed, time was found to get an hour in on mine.

1 hour only, but it was lovely to see the colour in the dragon start.

The piece on my friends calf is almost finished now, and another friend has just had a large panther piece started on his arm.

So for now, here is mine.

 

Slowly but surely

 

lol yes mate, VERY slowly, but loving the colour and detail put into it.
In fairness it was only about 45-50 mins actually colouring today.

Hoping to get a couple of hours in next session on the 28th. We have the whole day booked out.

Loving eddie's cover up though!

 

By the time its finished,England might of won the world cup

 

Im getting itchy for some more ink, I have a tribal on my chest,shoulder,arm and a name on my forearm, I need to come up with an idea for a red shaded phoenix to link the two together to get the start of what will be, hopefully, a sleeve.

 

lol na there is a difference there.... my tattoo WILL get finished... As for England.
Serious though, the head and a few other parts require far more time and detail. When the body gets started it will speed up a bit.
I reckon about 25-30 hours left though. If not a bit more, depending how fussy I get.

Doc, fire is usually a good link, or fire to water, with the phoenix fading from red towards blue..... If that makes sense. Joining the 2 pieces, or just fire between them both. Dont want to make it over complex.

My next piece once my koi leg is finished will also be my biggest yet, and last.

Cleaner pic of the dragon head in the meantime...

 

I have two full sleeves and one is a Jap sleeve, I have a koi,flowers, and a Japanese warrior mask surrounded by waves other one is all new school art plus i have a massive ship on my leg and a chest piece plus others haha.. Iam kinda addicted!

 

Pictures please

My final piece on my back will be the grande finale lol, big piece planned, but aint gonna happen for a while. Will also be Jap style

 

Nice!

 

This looks awesome, just gave me some inspiration for one in same area, bet the calf bit made the old eyes water though

 

ok just thought i would share my new piece with you all - had this done yesterday

 

Love it, small simple but lovely work

Cheers Jimmy, its getting there lol.

Someone has done a photoshop of how the next colours on the head could look. Not that it will get added for quite some time yet, but its definatly in the right direction.

 

Just got back from having a splash of ink on the old kebab leg.
So here it is.

No dramatic change, but nice to see it starting to change again.

 

Not bad

 

Get more done in one go, I want to see it finished...or will you never finish it and just keep adding?

What colour will you select for the largest lower flower ?

As you know I have no colours, just my black dustbin lids.





One on each shoulder almost identical, to give an idea of tattoo size they are 8 inches in dia.

They are Celtic shields and signify "Forever protected." They have worked well up to now.

Keep going..........
