I already have a tat on my left shoulder going all the way down to the elbows...

I am now in a dilemma of either covering it up with a different design or I am going to do watch logos on my right arm.

Now that is a piece of work! Should be wonderful when it is finished.

Shoulder to elbow has been has been done for a few years...been waiting for something to inspire me to finish it off to my wrist. Saw some work Chris did with kites and knew that's what I wanted. I go back in 2 weeks to continue the work with a dragonfly kite and some background work which should almost complete it.

Very nice ideas...I am not sleeved but could finish and fill in around the work already done on both arms. I hang out at a Tattoo shop and give them a hand talking to walk in customers and answer phones when they get busy. I am fortunate that both artists are fantastic and do great work and we have become really great friends. I've been thinking of doing each of my elbows...one with a Lotus Blossom and the other with a large Chrysanthemum blossom both in Black and Gray. Right now I have somewhere around 35 Tattoos with many of them being flowers and plants...as I am into Horticulture as a profession and is one of my main passions. But on my legs are all kinds and types with some being bicycle themed because I love to ride racing and mountain bikes!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

Marathon 6 hour session on Wednesday. Have to admit that few things compare to the pain of having your elbow done with a tattoo.
Turtle and crane done with color as well as all the outline of flowers and waves. Could not be more pleased. Not done yet...but we're gettin' there!

While in the chair, an older guy sits in chair next to me and I notice a rather striking reference on his wrist....18 k Gold Rolex Daytona Oyster Paul Newman.
I mentioned how beautiful his watch was...he spoke little english but thanked me, told me he liked my SubC and handed me his card...he's a vintage watch dealer in Italy.

thanks.
Yah- he quit Miami Ink and moved to NYC which is MUCH better for me since we go every summer. Wife got a small one too as her bday present. Really cool guy that I became friends with pretty quickly.

My dad always said he would kill me if I ever got a tattoo. He's been gone for almost 10 years now, and I still fear he would.
