I'll Show You Mine, If You Show Me Yours

Will have pics later when I clean up my leg :pac:

Will

Pawel in snakebite today. 5 hours. Leg is swollen and sore. I think I sat well.

The pics don't do it justice, it's my crappy webcam. There are 4 or 5 shades of green in it. He did a super job. Wondering if Damo could snap a few pics if he is free this week. Going in again next Saturday to get it finished.

Just out of shower and after applying bepanthen so it's a bit shiny. Again my pics don't do it justice. Couldn't be happier with what he has done.



Yellows and oranges are going in the background seemingly, with some sort of fire ball type yolk also. I just let him do whatever he wants and tbh I think it's the best way to go if you want top work. They are artists after all.

Anywho, apart from all that it stings like hell and I'm very swollen

I think I might have interrupted you today. About 2pmish? Came in to talk to one of the lads about a tatt. Seen the back of what I presume was you getting tattooed on the bench by Pawel.

Will

I was there all day so was me then

After years of procastinating, pondering, himming&hawing I decided it was time.

Some better quality pics; Hard to take pics of your own leg. You can see the different shades of greens and purple/plum Pawel used though, and the 3-D

That's brilliant that you got pics up. Nice tattoo, quite simple and well done. You happy with it Old Goat?

It does somewhat like a scar, which is what you were aiming for. Hope you are thrilled

OldGoat

Happy enough with it Will. I'll give it a while but I think I'll be going back to get it inked over again to try and get it whiter.
So now acording to the tattooist, apparently I'm 'One of us and not one of them'. Makes me feel Special. :rolleyes:
Nice work on yer leg by the way.

Will

Yeah, welcome to the fold

Cookie Jar

He did a really great job on your leg will., the shading is brilliant!! Pretty colors!:p

Will

seemingly it's not shading just intense colouring. Was a bit confused by that myself :-/ maybe hot2def will clarify if/when she see's this

Cookie Jar

now im confused:pac:

Will

I will ask him when at the next session to try explain it

Great colours Will, I'd love some more purples in mine! Can't wait to see it when it's all done :cool:

Fook the Bepanthen and try my method.

Antibacterial soap 3 times a day with hot water(the hottest you can stand) and nothing else except mild moisturiser.Keeps the colours brighter and less scabbing.

i found when i used bepanthen, my tattoos didn't scab at all!!

very nice will, it'll be good to see a proper picture of it when it's all healed and lovely!

Will

I'm gonna stick with bepanthen, last time i used it there was no scabbing at all, just gotta keep it well moisturised

Edgedinblue

i usually stick with my tattoo wax, got some in san francisco and some in g's tattoo in galway, works great!

Star Lord

I use the anti-bacterial liquid soap wash AND bepanthen at least 3 times a day (when the tattoo is new)

Will a whole tube in 2 days sounds like a hell of a lot I know I got the big tube, and didn't go through even half of it healing mine up!

Will

yeah i know but it's half of my entire leg too, i apply it anytime it gets dry

Sorry, forgot to comment on yours OldGoat!
I like it, looks well. You'll find that the white will look whiter after it's had some healing time, so give it a little while to heal up, then see how it looks.

hi everybody, my first time posting here!! lookin at gettin my second tattoo and want to get a cross in the centre top of my back. the one above is the closest ive come across that i like. prefer the curved edges compared to sharp corners in crosses and thinking of gettin an inscription inside of the circle. love the grey faded look to this one too compared to pure black.

any opinions are suggestions would be great!!

cheers.....
