Stonkin Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think i tried not to look Linda! At least it will look a bit more symetrical tomorrow.

Stonkin Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 well i'm booked in from 1 ish. Not sure if she has anyone else later that day. I'll certainly do 4 hours tomorrow. That wing took 3 hours! She works stupid hours, if i said i would sit there till 8 at night, then she would no doubt do it, but she is also very concious of what someone can handle. Think head and as much of body as i can do is a good idea. I want to see something different to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Update number 3 So pleased with how yesterday went. Decided on the middle area so i could see something different. I'll let you all comment, but personally i'm over the moon with the detail. As before, any red areas will be grey like how the wing has turned out.... She's thinking of putting a small shadow around the whole thing once its finished, which will lift it away from my back. Saw some other examples of this yesterday and it worked well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ads Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Can you rate the pain of having a tattoo on a scale of 1-10 please? wasp sting being 4 nettle sting being 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Wow! The detail is amazing....bit more work for you to bring out your lats now I reckon lolxx Is it worth sectioning that wing as its quite a large, plain expanse in comparison - you know the way bats wings look divided up into segments? Its hard to explain but I'm sure you get my drift would bring in a little detail while still keeping the sleek lines? Just an idea How long did it take by the way hun?

Konrad Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Can you rate the pain of having a tattoo on a scale of 1-10 please? wasp sting being 4 nettle sting being 2 It's different kind of pain than wasp or nettle. At first is kinda painfull (main lines), then you cannot feel too much when shading going on (or colours) - it is rather pain like someone would punch you milion times in a same place. I would say around 2 (at least on arm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Cheers Sheefa, wish i had an aerotop for it Oh you men are worse than women secretly!!!! Tattoo.... looking sweet! Full credit for bravery, what does your missus think? Cheers SupraGal Missus, well, i've recently started seeing someone. Remember gym girl i mentioned in my 'breaking up' thread. Been a few weeks now. I think her opinion is that my body would be perfect without it, but she knows how important it is to me, and can appreciate what a fantastic piece of art it is. She certainly doesnt dislike it at all Adam, pain wise very difficult to say, depends on what area and very much your frame of mind on the day. The outline did not hurt at all apart from the outer edge of the wings, that was just a bit uncomfortable, had to kind of squeeze my hands together at that point. Shading of the wing a few weeks ago was agony, the whole session really hurt, pretty much gritting teeth for 3 1/2 hours! Yesterday was a total breeze, i was not far off being asleep for the whole session, totally relaxed and actually enjoyed it. Linda, hi hun i know what you mean, i discussed this with her yesterday. Were going to basicly finish the whole thing first, the body is meant to be the main piece with detail, drifting out towards the wings or she said it will lose the lighting effect she is doing. But i've most likely said i would like some creases within the grey wings to show some more shape within them. But that will all be done on the very last touch up session.

Supragal Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 My mate went to have a tattoo done and passed out before they had even chosen a design. That was a waste of an afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Quite a big guy, shaved head, came in yesterday while i was being done. He was quite loud, and saw me with my eyes closed laying down, thinking i was in pain (was just relaxing and nearly asleep!) and said oh come on you woos, cant be that bad! He was just having some initials done on his forearm. The moment she started doing him he was jumping all over the place, fidgeting, moaning. She refused to do the tat in the end, and told him to come back another day. I just smiled at him as he walked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
