TATTOOS

Hmmm my pictures disappear in about three days, whats up with that? Am I loading them incorrectly, I checked with the sticky.

I've noticed that with your photo entries as well. It looks as though you're entering them correctly - it might just be the service you're using. Give www.tinypic.com a try.

Cheers,

(who still hasn't seen your lion tatoo!)

edit!! That's weird - I just went to tinypic.com, and it appears that they have been taken over by photobucket. Not sure what's up with that, but it might not be free anymore? What a world!!

I can see it!! OMG, that's beautiful. I like the "light" added to the pupils - great attention to detail. You must be lovin' it!

Started up the new tattoo, got the outlining done. Amazing how much your leg swells up!











My leg is about an inch thicker than normal and there's almost no divots near my achilles heel right now. Pretty goofy. This is my first big tattoo (other ones only took around an hour and a half or less). Probably have about another 15 hours worth of work to go into it.

That's going to be stunning Nalian! Looks like you got a great artist working on it with you.

[Loonette]

Nice, traditional piece Nalian. The lines fit your leg really well. Can't wait to see the finished work. Have fun!

Cheers,
Loonette

p.s. I always load up on vitamin C and vitamin E a few days before getting a tattoo, as well as some Motrin the day of. These things seem to help cut the trauma to the skin tissue a bit.

Wow that's awesome!

I went to a tattoo expo this past weekend and im really itching to get some work done. Im torn between two ideas... one to honor my Mom and another for the kids...they're both pretty big pieces. Still letting it marinate and looking for a really good artist. I know I know....get both right? lol

[Loonette]
