One of the places I use is 65 miles away, so its 130+ mile round trip each session. The other is 5 miles lol.
Inner arm is not too bad, depending on if its solid colour or shading. Shading gets soooorrre!

Why thank you. 
Started off with the Jap dragon on the left and while in for that 2nd sitting I was booking myself in for the koi on the right.
Oh, and Abigail is my daughter. Not the dragon

Time for another sitting today, in a couple of hours time, but guess who woke up with a bout of gout.... In the foot that is being tattooed.......? Yup that's right, meeeeeee!
So far there is no swelling, so should get away with it, but it's gonna be interesting to say the least. They might refuse. Just got to hope the skin doesn't get sensitive like it does some times.
Only me! Lol

Joking aside, I have heard that is really painful. Good luck today

Haha that's just like me in the tattoo chair!
Thankfully it's in the less painful part of the foot, down the outside, down from the little toe. Just a little delicate.
Will see how I go. But further to this, I have also just managed to slice my ankle, not once, but twice, while shaving my foot..... Only me eh lol.

A few days later, redness calming down now. The little piece of rope over my ankle is raw and sore as hell lol.
I also managed to get the best all around picture of the whole piece which I have added.
Just trying to decide on the final pieces now. Idea was to do the bandana contrasting in red, not solid of course. With the detail of the eyes beneath it. The bandana is to represent a bandit mask, seeing as John died on his pride and joy Bandit.

Some nice ink your all wearing.
Im a fan of the one on your foot too Snazy.
Ive got a few myself as my friend owns his own tattoo parlour.
Heres my most recent, and now ive just had my sons name (Caleb) added between the beaks.
And waxing my chest before having it done, actually hurt more than the tattoo itself!

Had the first three hours on the lower part of my sleeve on Monday afternoon. As usual done by Leigh Oldcorn @ Cosmic Tattoo in Colchester.
Gone for a very traditional design, which should hopefully blend in nicely with the Jap dragon i've got on the upper half.
Obviously lots more work to be done. Just a few pics to give you an idea how it went

It's with you for life, don't accept second best. If you have your heart set on one artist, stick with it. If their work is identical, then fair play.
PS , sorry if that sounds like an ott lecture lol

Totally agree with Michael. Not sure how much they charge @ Sith in Norwich?? Leigh's no more expensive than any other good artist.
Mistake I've made is not booking more time when I booked in the 3 hours I've just had. Gotta wait till mid June for the next 3 hour sitting
Gonna nip in tomorrow and see if I can book in a few 1-2 hour sittings before then
