Marksman 934 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Just thought I'd share the stages of my reworked tattoo sleeve. I've had this botched cover-up for about 2 yrs and finally have got round to doing something about it. There was a new Tattoo studio opened just round the corner from my house and it didnt take me long to get booked in.... I've had 3 2 hr sittings up to now. The idea is to keep within the tribal theme but have "lost souls" screaming to get out with smoke & flames in the background. As you can see....the original was a great botch job!!( the faded bits!) but the guy whos doing it has extended it and cleaned up the lines One of the "lost souls" hiding a massive cover up patch Front forearm... Rear forearm... another session next week should see the inside of the bicep/arm complete then just the background shading to put in....... can't wait!! Not everyones cuppa but cheers for looking!!

gnasher16 31,602 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Not everyones cuppa but cheers for looking!! Certainly right on that score....i quite like tattoos,but how someone could desecrate their body like that is beyond me i think that looks revolting...... But if your happy with it thats all that counts we all only have ourself to please 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kenny14 656 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think tattos should be all about individuality, so not everyone will like them. You being comfortable with it's what counts. I quite like the 'lost soul', and the one of danw's is a bit 'me' too. It's got me thinking again about getting a couple of my old ones re done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate. The 2 of them have a new studio on Milburn Road. Their artwork speed and customer service is amazing. I'd recommend them to anyone. Darryl Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darryl Good stuff..my Bro and a few other lad's i know have had work done by her when she had a studio here..and i can honestly say you will not be dissapointed with the finnished work..come to think of it my Bro had a simmilar trible design covered up on his forearm and it's amazing how such a dark large tattoo can be made to dissapear.
