EmmaB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hello Wavey! I'm healing (but not yet peeling) too - I got my first forearm tattoo on Saturday, also a biggie, and have been looking like Pop-Eye the sailor man since then! Swelling seems to be going down today though. Mark Bee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavey Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Mine swelled up something fierce, too. Cabbage leaves and ice was a life saver! What did you have done? else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 A colourful piece by Joe Frost. It's based on a tapestry I love, and is of an angel with fiery wings rescuing a woman from the jaws of a serpent. (!!) I will do a link to a picture of it but it might not appear; last time I linked to instagram I got automoderated. What about you? - - - Updated - - - http://instagram.com/p/Xf5ZSfoH59/ here it is! It took 8 hours at the scottish tattoo convention.

EmmaB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 thank you! I love yours too - really intricate and beautifully shaded - and that splash of vivid colour amongst the black and grey works really well. Who did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
