Tattoo

Grant Monkhouse · January 18, 2013, 07:46:02 PM

Here\'s the start of mine, free hand tattoo, drawn onto me first with markers, 30mins, then 2 hours of tattooing. Should of been 3 hours total but it started hurting lots as he was going over the same areas touching up.

Have got blue going around the edges on the waves, this part is probably 90-95% complete but only constitutes 25-35% of the whole lot.

So happy with it and the speed he has done it.

Pic time from my iPhone

Will post pictures when I\'m back from this tour, black and grey for me every time,

My artist said black and grey as he can do it faster and holds clearer for longer. And the blue waves I am getting around the feature will make the black and grey stand out.

I\'ve been thinking about getting another tattoo for ages now. Got a few ideas of what i\'d like but just never got round to doing anything about it.
As with a lot in life its always about time and money

Try and find a tattooist that will do a dragon that isn\'t a oriental dragon. Guy I went to had to go full freehand

Grant Monkhouse · January 19, 2013, 05:05:04 PM

All of mine will be free hand. If its not traditional style it won\'t match the koi, that\'s what I like, always have. Have told him its got to look aggressive

Second part of tattoo done. Pics 2moro.

mikey-t · January 25, 2013, 07:55:42 PM

pics as promised, full free hand due to my unique taste, i wanted a typicaly british dragon with a oriental dragons head. guy prefers to work free hand on backs anyway due to unique contours of the body,

some bits are still fresh hence darker
