did it take you awhile to find the right artist to do the tat? I have a sea turtle in mind that I want but I just can seem to find the right artist for the job.

yeah the tail wraps arounds the inside of my elbow (ouch) and its a pic of my blue cammie. i actually didnt have to search for someone the dude was up for the challenge right away. I couldnt be more happy with the outcome

theres the patern he modeled it after, but the shape we used a pic of a juvie so it would stay evenly shaped

Nice man. I like the fact you went "bigger" than the norm. Go big or go home in my book. I have my elbow done and that didn't hurt one bit!!! What do you mean ouch??? lol but I guess thats because I got some real hurt pieces up my ribs, under my arm etc. Keepin it real. Check you later.

Its my belief that our bodies are works of art. I get tattoos on my body as artwork I can carry forever that shows great moments in my life.

Thats a great tattoo. Hopefully it didnt cost you a pretty penny since it was your first tattoo. Usually when Tattoo Artists and Tattooists find out that its your first, they try to jack up the price hoping you'll pay it.

Great picture though, I'll be waiting to see your second and third tattoo now hehehe

hahaha, and that tail is one the underside of my arm. the heroin spot lol.

nah mike i got a good deal. i set a price and said draw it however big you can fit into that price and then we will find a spot to put it. the apprentice did it for me, it was his first lizard tat.

hmmm what to add next, and how to pay for it lol

It is a nice tattoo, and big. I'm all for people getting tattoos. However I think it's stupid when someone goes out and gets one they don't fully embrace because they have limited finances. You're right, our bodies are works of art, so a tattoo therefore ought to be an expensive item. It's great that you got a lizard tattoo that is original as opposed to something you pick off of the wall.

Is that bruising following the sillhouette on the left side of the tattoo (left side of the pic)? Or was it a mistake that was erased?
