3.- No body art that is located on certain body parts (Sorry guys, you cant show off your ass).

4.- If you gonna post here do it with the intention to show your body art or to comment on others' body art. No trolling against tattooed or pierced people.

And since I opened this thread, I start.

My most recent (Excuse the dirty fingernails. I've been working on my workshop):

An older one in my inner forearm:

Sadly my tattoo is on my ass.

"Your Name"

I only have a photo from a few years back, and have a lot more since then...

Will take some more recent photos when i remember...

I do have the original drawings of some of my ink though (I drew them all)

Honestly, I need to get them touched up, they have not aged well over the years. :/

You seriously drew those? Would you consider to make a design for my next one?

[Marshall Veteran]

One of mine, I'll take pictures of the rest later.

Yep, I actually have a BFA In Illustration from Parsons School of Design in NYC. When I went I did not touch a computer, still did everything by hand, such as those drawings.

And absolutely I would consider it. I have actually designed a few peoples ink over the years.

This is my buddys whole back and arms...

The Moon and the Eye are the tops of his shoulder blades on each side. The Heart & Bird are smack dab in the middle of his back, and go down near his waist, it is HUGE in size.

I actually consider it an honor to design people's ink, not only is a permanent and I realize this, but it is also my own artwork, so that is indeed an honor IMO.

I also try to best to meet my clients needs so to speak, so if I need to alter my own style to fit what you want, such as for my friends ink above, I do so as long as it is not a huge departure, because then if it is, I might as well not be drawing it.

Just full disclosure, it will probably take me a good while. I am on to the next phase of my friends above ink, starting on his chest soon, so I need to whip that up one of these days.

But if you have some ideas, run them by me in a PM, will see what can be done. (Y)

I love tattoos and body art. I have 5 of them on different areas. Dragons are my theme and I love every one of them:

The others I can't show due to the restrictions placed on me by the thread's rulez :laugh: !

Those rules are a bit harsh don't ya think? no nudity, I agree with, but Macabre or obscene language? what the ****?

[Azusa]

I've been wanting to get a tattoo but not sure what or where.

This photo is a couple of years old and I have a half sleeve now

Cool thread btw! All the tatt's so far are awesome! I love tattoo's!

[Mystic Mungis]

I'm getting these two tattoos soon, one on each inner forearm. My friend drew them for me recently, it's lyrics from one of my favourite songs that I've wanted as a tattoo for ages :)

[nominak]

One skull on my left forearm, and the dragon head on the other...

One of the flames and stars and dice is on my right calf... the star colors are the birth stone colors of my parents and myself. with the year I was born in the ribbon. The skull and dragon head, I just liked how they looked.

Thread updated, with sanctified's agreement, to reflect body art as a whole

This is a great idea for a thread! Come on, guys; I'm sure many of you members will have tattoos, piercings, and other forms of body art. Let's see what you've got :)

I got this in Sinapore to cover-up a really stupid tattoo I got when I was 18.

Love that one. How long did it take to fill? Would love to get a tattoo soon, still deciding on what to get though :)

[tazzeh]

Got this done in 2009, my first tattoo. Planning on having something similar to this on my chest/shoulders soon.

About two hours. Funny thing it's that it didnt hurt at all while filling but it hurt like a b*tch the next day.

That looks awesome. You've inspired me for my next one. :)
