Could have sworn we had a tattoo thread here. I know there was one on [NAME REDACTED]. 

 

Anyway, I know there's a few here with gaming tattoos, but anyone here with any other tattoos? Story behind them? And are you thinking of getting one? 

Need to get updated photos of mine.

I'm 11 hours into a sleeve this month with the last session on October 8.

I've been wanting a sleeve my whole life but wanted to be certain of what I'm getting. When I was 16 (24 years ago), I got a barbed wire tattoo around my bicep and it wasn't exactly a huge hit at ice hockey and ball hockey when my buddies make jokes about it. 3 years ago I decided I'd get something over it so I went to the local tattoo show which is an enormous show that travels across Canada. I picked up 3 cards of local artists and signed up on Instagram just so I could follow them. Over 1.5 years I narrowed the three down to 1 and asked for gift certificates for 2 Christmases in a row. After about 2 years I made my appointment with the artist and showed her my barbed wire, she suggested I get laser treatments to lighten it. So after 2 treatments, this.........

became this.......

And then about another year of waiting, two sessions at 5.5 hours each yielded this:

Leading up to my tattoo I told my artist I decided on a nature scene with water, mountains and a canoe because my brother's a back country guide. The week before my tattoo, I started freaking out and thought maybe I'd want a floral sleeve instead because I really like flowers. So I asked her to do one up with nature and one with flowers and I'd decide when I got there on the day of my appointment. To my surprise, she misunderstood and did one single piece with both nature and flowers bordered all around the bottom. There's a lilly, lilac, sunflower and some forget-me-nots on the back. It's amazing, I love it, she did an incredible job putting all of my ideas together.

The picture is actually Moraine Lake, a famous Alberta lake pictured on the back of the Canadian $20 bill.

I have a few but this is my most recent and also my best cover up. 

Left side: wanted a cat tattoo after my oldest passed away recently at age 20. I didnt want an obvious cat tattoo so I went with the catnip plant. Plus it matches my other wrist.

 

Right side: I fucked up at 18 with a BAD tattoo and had about 5-7 laser treatment before getting it covered. Under the blue flower you can sorta see the cover up, it was a hard one to cover cause of how bad it was. 

 

Bad = terribly done fox and flowers
