One appointment 3 weekends ago... last weekend, and another in 2 more weeks. Almost finished the sleeve. (Sorry if there's an existing thread... )

What do you all have? I think one or two more sittings and I'll be done. Color on the dragon starts in two weeks... flames/smoke will fill in the gaps. Sorry for the picture quality.... I suck at selfies, and in some it's still "raw".

This was 8 years ago and a gift from the girlfriend....

These are the new ones / additions.

That first photo looks weird dude. You may need to change your workout routine. Lol cool tats though.

It's called a bicep.... you may be unfamiliar with them (j/k lol). I change my workout routine every 3-6 months, and that picture was over 8 years ago, taken 10 minutes after that tattoo was complete, by the tattoo artist.

I figured this forum would be full of people with tattoos, but so far it seems my IT forums have more ink. Interesting.

I think the tats look pretty good. The first pic DEFINITELY does look funny tho. Google "synthol". That's what it looks like. No offense meant tho.

I have a bud who tore a muscle in his shoulder/pec and his bicep looks like that.....

None taken. Google Ed Kawak. It is his workout routine I used to follow in my younger years. He was famous for his bicep "peaks". No synthol here.... like that 'tard who wanted to be the hulk.... /uhhg Just pure hard work over many years. (I weigh 210 and bench 365 for my heavy sets).... maybe the rest of me would look funny to you all, as well.... *shrug* I tend to picture most people in here with giant beer bellies lol

Sorry to disappoint you.. no injuries here... I saw a guy rip his pec off whatever supports it... it was gross... his entire chest was a bruise. OUCH!

Nice... they are expensive for sure... and potentially never ending. We all need a vice or two though... I agree the pain is... hard to describe.... but "a rush" sums it up fairly well.

I'm not a tattoo guy, but I'm curious what does it cost to do your whole arm like that?
