OUCH! About 15 years ago I got a tat on my shoulder about the size of a U.S. silver dollar and I almost passed out from the pain. Unfortunately, I'm not kidding.
I want to get The Daughter's initials on my ankles. Mrs. Wife might eventually throw me out of the house, but they'll always be my daughters.
Hubby and I have seen some fantastic artwork over the years on friends' bodies, and yours is clean and like a sleeve. Nice. How long did it take and how many sessions?
Map, you must have a huge bladder if you sat through that, drank coffee and didn't have a bathroom break! I'd have wet myself!!!
But it looks great. I'm not a big fan of tats myself, but I do like those Maori inspired designs. It's just on the inside of your forearm, then? Are you going to get it all the way around?
Very kewl :-)
ReplyDeleteJayne; Thank you! :¬)

ReplyDeleteUB; Ouch indeed!
ReplyDeleteAs long as you don't get the tattoo on your forehead Mrs. Wife is sure to keep the door open! :¬)
TechnoBabe; Welcome, and thanks.
It took six hours, all done in one session!
(The artist is my nephew Robert.) :¬)

I can't pretend I like tattoos but that has an artistic quality and reminds me of a Greek urn.
ReplyDeleteYour nephew is very clever.
still very cool, sugar! ;~D xoxoxoxox
ReplyDeleteYou are a braver man than me. Then again, I'm not a man, so maybe that's the difference. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks good on you!
Just as long as it does no stop you reaching your short arms into your very deep pockets when it comes to your round.
ReplyDeleteA pint it is then, I'll see you at 9.
Pat; Thank you kindly, and yes, a clever lad is our Rob! :¬)

Jimmy; Always a pleasure to spend my few shillings on a pint for a pal! Have one settling for me, I'll be in about 9:03! :¬)
Yes, the Greek Urn. Is all of that actually carved in your skin? Must be painful...
ReplyDeleteRO; Ah the Greeks and their urns!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's there forever, and it WAS painful, but not now, :¬)
What did Mrs. Map have to say about it? And isn't that arm heavier than the other one now?
ReplyDeleteSix hours! Hopefully you got to take a bathroom break! lol Some day when I can afford it, I'd like to get a few more tats.
ReplyDeleteCharlie; Mrs. Map says "It's your body!"
ReplyDeleteHeavier AND longer! :¬)
AJ; Actually we took a coffee break bot NO bathroom break!
(I get my tats for free!) :¬)

It is a lovely design...
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea how much baby lotion your mom put on that arm so your skin would be lovely?
@eloh; I can guarantee you it was far from baby lotion I was reared!
ReplyDeleteAs for lovely skin, I was affectionately known as 'pizza face' and 'the man with a face like a bowl of Rice krispies'!
But it is a lovely design! :¬)

ReplyDeleteJust on the inside of the forearm. For now. :¬)
