Love the colors, does it wrap under your arm?
Thank you. The dinosaurs don't wrap around, it was originally a standalone piece on the outside of my arm, shoulder to elbow. We added the ice cream and candy elbow to wrist, all around. It's not entirely finished yet, but a spilled mug of coffee and coffee beans have been added to my inner upper arm, still a little room to add more stuff.
I dig it. I think one of the best things about tattoos is the relationship built with a great artist.
Thanks again, and yes most definitely. I know I can bounce an idea off my artist and he'll whip up a drawing that's more than I could have ever imagined. It's amazing to see a simple idea like "a t-rex and a pterodactyl with some palm trees" come to life.
Got this one about a year ago.
Nice, good shading in the skull and I am a huge fan of American traditional art/colors.
my 1st, 4th, and 5th tats.
#1 was tiny flash ladybug because i'm TERRIFIED of needles. takes several large adults to hold me down for shots, but evidently tats don't bother me at all. LOL. I fell asleep during #5 - the rockets. the rockets are for my boys and the ufo = "mothership" .... i'm punny. And #4 is the symbol from the movie dark crystal on my back.
#6 is forthcoming, waiting to visit my family outside chicago to get it where I got the rockets done. Going to go with traditional "mom" heart deal on my upper arm.

and it looks like i'm really blown out in the pics, but thats what happens when you are THIS pale. A coworker was an honest to goodness albino and I was actually paler than he was. awesome. it's very difficult to get pics of me that are not all washed out.

Here's all my tattoos:

Yes, 1,044 and counting. Ha.
YO, RAPS!
Actually, have none. Yet. Been waiting to magically lose a lot of weight. Though I guess more of me means more canvas.

flarg, you're Pinterest page is beautiful! I've gotta start one of those. Stop waiting! You'll love how the design(s) you choose looks on you. No joke that you may start to see your body as a great canvas. Peer pressure, peer pressure
...go for it!

I LOOOOOVE the stay puft and pacman ghost. (pinky, blinky and clyde!)
flarg- I love your pinterest page! (I'm now following) Found inspiration for my other sleeve! WooHooo! Thanks!
And about losing weight...
just go for it! I got tats when I was skinny and when on the larger side...that extra cushion is a lot nicer than that needle tap dancing on a bone!

Wow.....I thought this thread was labeled "Show me Your ...."........I eagerly clicked the link and was very....very dissapointed. Im going on 14hours at the job 2 more hours left. Meh. Guess Ill look at a bunch of dudes tatoos......
Best thing about being pale, myself included, is that colors show up really well. Artists always enjoy putting color in my skin because its easy to put in and they can pack it it.
I'm a tattoo artist's wet dream. I fall asleep while they are hitting bone and i'm like a white canvas....
