Hello there.

This is my first contribution to any kind of online forum, let alone a tattoo forum, and even more specifically, one that is dedicated to maintaining and promoting the integrity oh high quality body art and professionally minded artists. I must admit that I have been a little resistant to forums in general in the past as I found that they often quickly descended in to torrents of personal abuse and platforms for the most ill informed and and opinionated members of society. However, from what i have seen so far, Last Sparrow has given me cause to dip my toes in to the forum world and hopefully contribute to the type of forum I would like to see :)

I guess I'll just get to the point with a bit of information about my tattoos. I have two bio-mech full sleeves, both by the same artist, Eddie James. My left arm is grey wash while the right is colour. Ive got some medium script on my stomach, while my most recent acquisition is a hot rod styled pin striped skull on my left calf area. X-tal at Ink Embassy in Cairns did the skull on my calf, however i can not remember for the life me who did the script on my stomach, it was a done back in 2009 at a shop in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, that's as much as i can recall.

Anyway, I hope to contribute if and when i have something worthwhile to say, which hopefully will be sooner rather than later.post-6060-146168858589_thumb.jpg

Ill put some images of my other ink in to my gallery.

I remember the first time I saw an Aaron Cain sleeve in person. It was 6 or 7 years old and it was still the most solid as fuck thing I had ever laid eyes on. I think we often have discourse here about what makes a tattoo a tattoo, and bio mech is a prime example where there are varying degrees of what constitutes a "good" tattoo. I think Grime, Aaron, and Phil Holt have accomplished it beautifully. Black/bold sculpted lines and solid well blended color. Holds up, looks rad.

Y'all need to get over your personal tastes. A good tattoo is a good tattoo whether or not it's what you'd choose. Welcome to LST, Rob!

Well, personally, I was trying to get across that normally I do not like bio-mech tattoos, but his are exceptionally good and I enjoy them. Basically, definitely opened my eyes a bit about them.

Thanks for the very warm welcome and the positive feedback, its fantastic and a testament to the quality of this forum. I certainly understand what your talking about @cltattooing, i personally like my bio-mech as evil as possible. I see alot of more bio-organic stuff popping up in more recent times, and a lot of it is stunning work, but for my money, the bio-mech style really lends itself to some evil looking ink. Skulls, bones, gears...Bring it on haha.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By Hogrider · Posted

      "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.
