So I've been meaning to post pics of my finished sleeve for quite sometime now, just been lazy I guess. Below are two pics so you can get the general idea. I still have a touch up appointment in two weeks so that Tim can take a look at it and make any shading adjustments that might be needed.

Ink....Rising Sun Style
Check out the amount of ink on these guys!
These are some examples of Japanese Body Suits. These guys put a lot of commitment, time, money and likely pain to reach the point they are at. Traditional Japaneses work is super detailed and has meaning behind everything. It is certainly on of my favorite tattoo styles. Some people would look at this and think these guys are freaks or something like that. I personally think it is bad ass. IT"S ART PEOPLE!!! Not to mention they are wearing some pretty fashionable diapers!
Don't worry Mom and Dad....I'm not going go go that big.

Ink
This weekend I continued to get work done on my Japaneses Inspired Dragon Sleeve by Tim Orth. We are pretty close to completion. Still have one session to go till completion. Im not going to post any picks of it until it is complete. So some of you will continue to see the evolution of it and some will have to continue to wait...
In the meanwhile I know that some of you have seen my other two, but some have not. So here you go, hope you enjoy.
This is my initiation into the world of tattoos. The artist is Tim Victim. It took about 3 hours or so. Location is my right rib. It's based off of a sarcophagus cover from the movie underworld. The "R" is for my Dad, Ron. The basic meaning is everlasting love for my pop's.
This is my second. The artist is Jeff Paetzold. This one also took 3 hours or so. Location is my left rib. The "M" is for my Mom, Martha. The meaning is the same as the one above for my pops.
