That’s enough for now. I’ve got more, but not pics of all of them.
Also have:
Sacred Heart, Spider on chest
Static-X’s logo on my stomach
Meat Tags right side ribs
Snake on back, zodiac and trinity symbol upper back
Stars under each arm
Leopard inside lower right leg
Total of 17 or so individual tattoos, but have brought a couple together over time.
Everyone’s sleeve work so far is fucking outstanding.

Tribute. I needed something to go under my USMC one, and thought that was more than fitting. I’d like to get more on my arm, I’m thinking an American Flag behind it all, as a big filler piece maybe
kinda like Jeremy Shocky? I think his american flag and bald eagle tatt is tight.

Yes, that shit is awesome. I think it would fit nicely on my arm, but I don’t know that I’d get it in color, since the other two aren’t, I would want it to look ‘off’
^^Yeah… that might be hard to do an American flag B and W thought… well not really I guess

Tattoos are for criminals.

I had this done in Thailand several years ago. Its on my left upper back. I love the way it turned out.
^ Nice, did they use a machine? Just wondering if anyone got it done old, old school like at the begining of Ninja Assasin.
I want to get one with the tapping method so bad. Maybe if I go to a convention and they’ve got an artist there that does it, I could get it done.

The biomech is what I plan for my right half sleeve. Due to work I can only go with half sleeves. [/quote]
Your work won’t let you wear long sleeves to keep it covered?[/quote]
I am a regional manager for a occupational staffing company. I meet CEO’s and HR managers all the time. Now I wear button up shirt, jeans and steal toe boots. I roll up the sleeves on my shirt to the elbow, cause in Houston it is fucking hot. Personally I cant stand wearing shirts to the wrist even in formal setting I am always waiting to roll up my sleeves. [/quote]
i feel your pain…i am the VP of my company but we are in the steel product manufacturing business. At first i worried about doing it but in teh end i said fuck it. When i travel for business i wear long sleeves but oddly enough i have had nothing but compliments even from people that you really would not expect.
For instance the owners of my company are EXTREME right wing christian conservatives, had i walked in like this off the street i never would have been hired but i have more than earned my keep for the last 20 years so they let me do whatever i want…i am the go to guy for about every damn thing so they give me certain liberties.

It’s kind of ironic that because tattoos have a bad rep, people with tattoos can’t have “reputable” jobs, and because tattoos are only seen on people in non-“reputable” jobs, tattoos have a bad rep. What this world needs is a couple of CEO:s to get high-quality facial tattoos to start off tattoos creeping towards being acceptable.
This one I got in 85’ or so and it faded bad even though I protected it. It also scabbed over like a mofo so maybe that had something to do with it not aging that well. Don’t laugh at my skinny arms…you’ll be my age someday fucker lol.
This one I got in 87’ I think, it hardly scabbed over at all and it has aged quite well.
The arm one had a pain factor of 5, the back one had a pain factor of 7, probably cause I had it done in one session. Anyone who gets one done where there is not much flesh has alot of guts and must be a masochist lol.
