LOL at those tatts ^ :D
I got my first tatt in April this year on my lower ribs on the left side. I sat on the idea for a year and when I realised that I was still mega keen to get it I spent nearly another whole year designing it, tweaking it, thinking of placement, colour etc.
It’s a quote so yeah I understand that there wasn’t that much design to work on haha. I had to pick font, colour, placement etc.
I love it and don’t regret it one bit, it’s a bit of a mantra for me and has multiple meanings. I’ll post a pic eventually :D I also love the placement, it’s a personal thing for me that I don’t really want to be showing off to the world.
Had another 8 hours put into my arm yesterday.
trying to stitch together a pic of it now. Super ridiculously loving it so far. It was done 100% freehand.
Will post it up once i work this shit out…
I got 3, and i also get them for my own reasons and mine are in placees that you would not look at and say “hey he has a tattoo” will get around to pics one day!
My first tattoo was done over in Phuket! Great surprise for mum and dad when I returned! haha
good monochrome tatts can really look awesome, yours is a great example of that deano!
Cheers mate,
Yeh i dig greywash tattoo’s, im not the biggest fan of colour (some of may mates have epic coloured tattoo’s which i love, but i wouldnt get a colour tattoo)
Put up a pic of yours, im keen to see it!

I’m getting this bad boi tomoz on me left inner arm….......
But the eyewear and chain are going to be gold, and his bow tie is going to be red!! Yewwwwwww
been meaning to post in here for a bit here is a few of mine.
My arm was done in two session in thailand, the first session was in 2009 and i sat for seven and a half hours and the tattoo is of a koi swimming up my arm which represents overcoming obstacles and in Asian folklore the koi fish travels up the yellow river and when it comes to the end of the river it transforms into the dragon, overcoming the adversity represented by the strong river to fufill its own destiny.
And it is a strong reminder for me that nothing worthwhile in life is easily gained.
The second part of my arm is the Geisha, i had my tattoo of the Geisha done as it represents my mother and is a symbol of beauty, peace, and serenity,
Geisha Contrary to popular western notions, the Japanese geisha is not generally a woman of ill repute. The word literally means art person and a geisha is a highly trained professional woman. So No i do not think my mother is a whore, i think exactly the opposite. hahaha.

My other arm which i have only just started consist of a tiger it represents invincibility might and power and it sits opposite the dragon on my other arm which also links up to represent Heaven and Earth or (yin and yang). As you can see i have a lot of work to go and it is a very expensive hobby/ interest/ lifestyle. i haven’t even shown you my leg yet but that will be for another time.
