We were almost done with that, and then I decided that it had to be color after seeing his work on my Wife's half sleeve. That added a lot of time, but I'm so happy I went with color. This guy is the best in Boston.

I love the Ocean, and it's traditions. My Dad was a GM1 in the Coast Guard, and I was born at Coast Guard boot camp when our family was stationed there. The CG is in my blood. I'm terrified of Sharks, so I wanted the Kraken to be winning the fight. The Lighthouse and Storms are about not losing your bearing when **** hits the fan, which applies to life right now ironically. I just showed him pictures of what I wanted, and he drew the design up.

The Artist is moving to Hawaii, and he said if I ever want work done that I can stay at his house with him and his Wife for a visit. His work is top notch.

Wife got some new ink today. This piece took about 3.5hrs to get to this point, and it took the tattoo artist about 2hrs to draw it up from scratch. Once it heals, it's getting color.

Here's the final product for my wife's tattoo, and an action pic.

Very nice work Justin.

emopunker2004 · 12-16-2013, 09:08 PM

Thanks Bob. Eventually she want's a half sleeve. This piece will compromise a great portion of it.

Chainsaw13 · 12-16-2013, 09:09 PM

Can't wait to see it with color. I need to get some cash together and get my back piece finished.

emopunker2004 · 12-16-2013, 09:15 PM

I'm gonna go in Friday and figure out what I want done next and set up an appointment for that.

Got this a couple months ago. This was a crappy cell phone pic taken right after.

Nice coverup Mark. Artist did a good job of it.

How painful was the elbow?

It wasn't too bad compared to the soft tissue around my armpit. That area is very sensitive and very painful.

I know that feeling well. My half sleeve runs onto my chest. That bit near the armpit sucked big time.

Had a consult today for starting on my sleeve. Appointment to start next Friday. Can't wait. Still torn on color or black and grey.

emopunker2004 · 12-28-2013, 09:11 AM

Got started on my sleeve yesterday. 4hrs in the chair yielded this.
