Stonkin Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well here's the final pics, at least until i go back for some shadowing, but that wont be for a couple of months. Need a break Left it a few days to let the redness die down, almost healed now, just a few bits on the inside wing. Had to have been the worst session on friday so far, not comfortable at all!

tbourner Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Very cool, I like it. What did they say about adding 'bits' to the wings then? TBH now I've seen that I don't think it needs it - looks pretty complete as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 although i did take the pic Trev, i didnt discuss it in huge detail with her. I had the arse about 30 mins into the session and that continued for the whole 4 1/2 to 5 hours i was there. It was all very red and raw at the time and she always said to me to wait until i saw it all together and then we'd talk about more wing detail if i wanted it. I will be going back at some point so will discuss it more then. I did ask if she thought the wings needed anything but she still thought the way she'd used lighting effects it would add to much in that area.

turbonut Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Wow! looks amazing hun Now its all done, the wings actually look fine as they are i reckon, as all that beautiful detail on the body and head draw the eye straight into the centre. Maybe if you put detail onto the wings it may actually detract from the body?? suits your shape too Looking good! Lxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Sorry, what tattoo? lol Seriously though, I like it, although the blank eyes remind me of my Doberman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Sorry, what tattoo? lol Seriously though, I like it, although the blank eyes remind me of my Doberman. Lol when ever people see me just after i've had some done, when all the grey bits are red, they all think i should have the grey turned into a light shade of red, i can see what they are saying, but just not sure. I like it how it is now and dont want to ruin it. Plus i think i've payed enough as it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 That looks pure class Stonkin. I would be over the moon with that and its amazing how its all come together.

Stonkin Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Cheers Kieren. Am very happy with it still cant believe its done, spent 4 years thinking about it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 4 years!!! Oh well, at least its done now, are you planning on getting anymore. Just dont get it in the sun mate, it kills. What cream are you using for it, i found that preperation H was the best for me ans it really redusces the swelling. Top Job mate, the tattooist is very very tallented.

Top Job mate, the tattooist is very very tallented. decided i wanted a tat 4 years ago, almost straight away decided on a drgaon. Then spent a year looking for a drgaon pic till i found this. Rest of time was working out if i actually wanted to go ahead or not have been using prep H and also some cream that i got from her. Havent had any scabbing at all with any of it. will be staying well out the sun, not that thats hard right now highly doubt i will get anymore. I want my arms and shoulders free of them, just wanted 1 big piece, so my back seemed the best place to use. I may get some bits added to this one, but will be very minor background detail.

Good decision mate, it looks fantastic, and is definately enough ink for one lifetime. Hope it heals well for you bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 question for anyone with tattoo knowledge. Are you genuinly expected to have to go back and have it gone over again, in say 10 years time or should it keep its colour level a lot longer than that? I'm sure the ink they use these days is far better than it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have a dragon with lots of colour on my leg and need it to be re coloured after about 3 months so that it stays REALLY bright, im not sure with the black ink though, what did the tattooist say???

Stonkin Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 i didnt ask mate. You just see people sometimes with very faded tats, i'm sure how they looked after it in the beginning plays an important factor, was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
