Dear lord, that centipede is fantastic. The color really pops.

And thanks Blinge, Friday can't get here fast enough.

Haha, maybe some day. A stylish Blue Mosquito tattoo would be pretty boss. Nothing at the moment though :P

Session two was last night. I was all zen and shit, but as soon as he was finished my arm was on fire.

He finished all of the outlining (background objects) and did all the black on the girls. Slowly it is beginning to come to life.

When I go back in two weeks it will be shading/black in the background and after that the color.

Expensive? Yes. Worth it? As much as actually being tattooed sucks, totally.

I'll post a picture tomorrow or Monday. Four hours down!

Wow, old thread. Back in 2005 or 2006 i finished my shmup tattoo on my left arm. Ikaruga ship on my shoulder, Vic Viper on the inside of my arm, the cover of DDPDOJ running down my bicept, and some random Space Invaders, Garegga, and RFJ ships strung about. A green and orange Galaga stripe ties it together...I'll have to post a pic sometime.

Browse around the artists your area has to offer. I spent a few years looking for the right guy for the job and i'm glad i sifted him out of the crowd. Not every artist will understand what your passion or reasoning is for what you want to get done and be just as overly excited as you are to hours spent shading it in just right. Ask around and research shops and artists. You might just make a life long friend in the process

Session 3 down, total time so far 7 hours.

My arm is very angry right now, but it looks as good as it is going to look sans color. My last session is July 2nd at noon.

I'll post pictures in a few days. It is really coming together now:D

as hilariously cute as the little paws are, had to opt out of them. the legs would have had to be drawn too big to be able to draw the paws on them and there's only so much space left on my leg with a centipede as a neighbor

Image
that face

Image
thinking about getting a Cave "C" in that smaller center circle of its back when it gets colored in.

i forget the guys name with the oni mask and knives but i'm going to have him and his skikigami (with spirit chain) somewhere towards the ankle facing off with these 2 monsters. any thoughts?

Spidercat on your leg > Spidercat in the game. He looks ferocious on you. I like him much better with the actual spiders legs.

Interesting tattoos. I have none, as I kind of hate tattoos. People look like sailors, anymore. :lol:

If I were to get one, I'd probably just get the Space Invaders one. It says it all, really.

7 hours in and all healed up. Last session (I'm hoping) will be July 2nd at noon. Each session is like a financial kick in the balls, except you're doing it willingly. Also my wife is ridiculously awesome:D

Session 4 is in the books. 10 hours in and I am pleased to say that the girls are FINISHED:D

Today was much less unpleasant than visit #3, and in an awesome twist I wound up being the only customer in the entire place. I felt like a king! Most of the artists are on vacation and I have to admit it was kind of awesome.

I'll post up pics after it is healed. I severely underestimated the time it would take for this to be seen to completion, but after today I would estimate I have about two more visits (six hours total).

July 18th!

Your devotion to under defeat is unparalleled Stevens!! :wink: Very nice!... If I'd have thought of this idea before I started (a long time ago) getting tattoos, I probably would have gone for an akai katana sleeve... As its my top shmup plus, awesome artwork

Thanks all for the kind words. Jonst, it sounds like you have a lot of tattoos.

Speaking of devotion to Under Defeat, I'm trying for three million in the first loop and five million overall.

Nash87 where are you?
