me 2!

Love it.

This is quite an epic one, and I'm genuinely jealous.
Did you design it yourself or did you have your tattooist draw it?

Looks absolutely amazing! Wow!

I designed it in my head, told my artist and he drew it up. He's phenomenal.

Haven't been on here in quite some time. But, I'm finishing it up on the 23rd of October. Cannot wait. I'll keep you guys posted with pics and what not!

Looks awesome man.

Just asking - (know nothing of tattoos) but why does it take 6 months? Or is it just preference or for heeling purposes?

Stretching it out over time allows me to pay in smaller amounts, let's it heal before adding to it, that and I got really busy toward the end of the summer and I'm just now having time (and money) to finish it. My artist/friend has been really busy opening his new, and second, shop, as well.

Oh alright. thanks

ANd today was the day i decided i'm definitely getting a tatoo... You're awesome, man. Stay free.

Glad I could help push you over the edge. Haha.

Post some pics when you get it done.

UPDATE!

More pics from Saturdays session. ONE MORE and it will be DONE!

Awesome, quite purple, yet awesome!

A lot purple, yes. But, that's what I was going for. Something eerie, but not too dark.

May I be so bold to ask what kind of price tag is attached to a tattoo of this nature? I am aware that the artist is a friend of yours so it might not be representative for tattoos in general, but I am really curious in what sort of price range a piece such as this one falls. Should I be thinking about a couple of hundred, above thousand or in the direction of several thousands of dollars? I seriously have no clue. You don't have to answer obviously.

Once again, really awesome piece.

Even though the artist is a friend of mine, he started off as a mutual friend of other very close friends of mine. Because of that, he hasn't been too upset when I only have X amount of cash to give him during each session, however, I never wanted to short change him, so I was always pretty well prepared.

For my 4 sessions so far, I'm in it an even grand. Yes, $1,000. After my fifth session, it will be $1,200. There are without a doubt places you can go and get something this size for a few hundred, but, it will be poorly done, the shop will most likely dirty, and you probably won't enjoy the company of the person who's doing the work. If you want any kind of large piece, expect to pay at least a grand, or right around there give or take a couple hundred at the most.

Not sure what the tattoo scene is like in Netherlands, but there has to be someone out there who does good work and is worth going to.

that's so cool.
I love the purple too.

I know I'm not breaking any new ground here, but regardless I feel obligated to mention just how awesome this looks...I don't know what to say besides holy shit.

All healed up now. It has been itching a lot lately, that's the worst part. haha. That and the ingrown hairs. Which, I haven't had a lot of this time around thankfully.
