Fukinitupagain Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ok so I wasn't able to get any work done cause I didn't have that much time, although my boy Jason was saying that he could cancel one of the oppointments if I wanted a spot, but I didn't want him to do that, plus my sister-in-law was getting a tattoo. So her attoo was one that I designed, it's a pin-up girl in a late 50's early 60's Aitr Force uniform riding a bomb while soluting It's for her grandfather who died about 4 months (he was in the air force for a number of years). This is the first session of the tat & will take another one maybe two & when its complete will have a bomber (B51) in the background, like it was the one that dropped the bomb she was sitting on, with her grandfather's birthdate & death date going down the side of the bomb like it's a serial number. Hope you enjoy... The design & placement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukinitupagain Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Look there's my boy Jason doin' the work... hey Jay! And the finished product (atleast for today) A couple of people gettin work done around us If anyone here in the NC/VA area is interested in getting any work done give me a hollar (you can tag along with me this winter as I start my sleeves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonianbrat Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Man nice design! I like it and I like that it actually stands for something. I currently have not had any ink done but both the wife and I are planning on something here soon. I just need to find a way to incorporate my family themselves or my family crest with my fam's initials somewhere in there. I have no artisitc skill so I need to sit down with somebody and let them draw out my ideas. My wife has 5 tat's now and she wants another one incorporating the same kinda stuff I want to do. Too bad I am not in the NC/VA area or I would so go with you. Looks like your buddy does some good work. When you get your sleeves done update this thread as I would like to see the finished sleeves.

When you get your sleeves done update this thread as I would like to see the finished sleeves. Jason does killer work & was won a bunch of awards & been in all kinds of magazines & what not & if you come along wiht me he won't charge much (cause he's been my boy for like 7 or 8 years now). He's not what you'd think a tattoo artist would be. He's had actuall art training, doesn't drink or do any drugs has a wife & 3 kids & his wife is a special ed. teacher in Ronoake Va. Yeah I have the two half-sleeves & the backpiece right now (which is what I'm finishing here in Oct.) & my lower part of my arms is going to actually be 5 or 6 different tats that when finished will look like one bigass piece. Same thing wiht my legs but it'll be more like 7 or 8 a leg that make up one big one when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxman0324 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 man thats some cool stuff...i know im getting the maryland blue crab with one of my grandmothers names in it and maybe her birth date and death date when she dies. I haven't figured out what I am going to do for my other grandmother but they have been the two most important women in my life so far and I don't think I can do enough to repay them so that's my way of honoring them...im in college park (inside of 495 north of DC) but I would def. head down there to get a pro to do it, maybe in the next year or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid Jason & Christy (his wife) are moving to Clevend next summer so I want to get as much done now before he goes, cause its gonna be a long road trip after that. I don't really get "in memory" tattoos, but I like 'em. I just tattoos cause I like 'em & like the way they look on me. Ya know like when you are a 9 or 10 year old kid you have this image of what you'll look like when you grow up, well I've always invisioned myself being covered in tattoos... maybe it's because of my carnie-style family (yes I had a couple of family members who were carnies while I was grwoing up).

GrimGreg Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Ones with meaning are always the best. That is a huge piece too! My gargoyle (lower half of my back) took 2, 2hr sessions, one for outline and one for shading. I think my wife, her cousin and I are going to all get one done of a hearts loner hand for Euchre in honor of their grandmoter that passed 2 weeks ago.

Pezzy Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Ones with meaning are always the best. Yeah, I think they SHOULD have meaning behind them. Not to say that mine really do... But I'll always be a Pisces, and if I haven't grown out of liking Snoopy & Woodstock at age 33, I don't think I will! They definitely have to be something you will want to be part of you for the rest of your life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell asleep during both half-sleeves. Thats the easiest place to get tattooed. The worst for me so far has been on the inside of my arm pretty close to my arm pit or the very small of my back, like an inch away from the as$ crack. Arms are easy though.

Pezzy Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I found the pain tolerable when I had the fish done on my lower back. My second tatt was woodstock flying around my ankle, and it was the worst 15 minutes ever, I hated it! lol... I was especially annoyed because the one on my back wasnt such a big deal. I had bad timing when I added to the fish, (not an issue for 99% of the board, and I apologize for overshare) and found out that certain times of the month I can be a pain wimp. Still, it was tolerable, but considering how well the first tatt went, I was surprised how much it bothered me. (possible over share part: any guy who wants to take a girl for a tatt, and give her the heads up, the week before her period = not a good idea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mws Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I like tats and find the artistry (in a good one) to be amazing. But, man. There are going to be some seriously ugly people walking around in 40 years. Fading and blurring starts making them look not so cool in just a few years. After 30 years, those detailed back pieces and sleeves are going to look like acid induced Rorschach Tests... "This one, err, this use to be a, HEY, ETHEL, WHAT WAS THIS TAT ON MY ARM????"

Actually with modern inks and needles being more precise, there is less fading or blending. Though the sun can still cause a lot of fade if you spend too much time with your tattoos exposed to it.

Pezzy Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 So water weight gain causes increased skin sensativity? Not sure what it is... there are a few things women shouldnt do that week... unless they like unnecessary additional pain. (waxing is one of them) Our tolerance to pain at that time is less than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Though the sun can still cause a lot of fade if you spend too much time with your tattoos exposed to it. Get a tat and make sure to cover it up... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
