thyes

I'm curious to see if there are others in here who have gotten tattoos dedicated to their favourite bands, singers, artists or just inspired by music in general? 
I love music, especially metal and rock. So my second tattoo was heavily inspired by the band Tool and their.. wierd artwork. It's been 7 years since I got this tattoo, but I still feel like it needs something more added to it. Just haven't gotten to it yet, I guess. 
The pic is from the day I got it if I recall correct. Didn't have a healed pic and couldn't be arsed to take one now, so I snagged this from my Facebook. It's not as crisp ofcourse, but it's still in pretty decent shape (thank god for SPF 50). 
Show me yours, there must be some in here :)

Got this sexy wolf done on friday by Line Marielle in Denmark! It's a continuation to my existing work from her on my forearm, so now Im the proud owner of a halfsleeve 😁 Will end up with a full sleeve eventually, I bet! Theres also another raven, a Valknut symbol and a verse from Håvamål in old norse, so all of the new stuff isnt visible here. Maybe Ill upload another pic later.
Im so stoked, cant wait for it to heal.

Did you check this artists portfolio before letting him/her set the needle in your skin? I would never get a tattoo from someone that I hadn't seen pictures of previous work from, and I doubt that you would either. You said you didn't want the tattoo in portrait style, but you showed him/her that picture, which is indeed in portrait style. 
I don't mean to be mean, it just doesn't make any sense to me getting a tattoo from someone who clearly doesn't master their craft. 
The good idea is that yes, it's completely fixable! I've seen worse tattoos covered up and turned into masterpieces :) There are artists who specializes in cover-ups. I linked this artist in another thread, and I'll do it again here:
This artist is in Norway, so I'm guessing you're not willng to travel all the way here to do it. But there are tons of good artists out there, just google a bit. 
Good luck, hope you find someone who can make it shine!

It's been less than a month since I got my last tattoo, and I'm already scrolling through stuff on the internet. F***. 
I want a Baphomet on my leg or something!

thanks !
both my lower arms are mostly from the 80's & 90's,
my upper arms/shoulders are newer,
my right arm is still bright,I think the lighting and mix of styles make it look different,
both arms were done in the same time frames alternating back and forth.
 

That's one wicked collection you got, @Dan
Just out of curiosity, how old is your right sleeve? I mean it looks a little bit more faded than your left, but it still looks good.

I'm currently healing a piece on my arm, and started with Dermalize. But then the airline company managed to misplace my bag with the roll in it, so I had to buy something called TattooMed while waiting for my Dermalize. It's supposed to be the same thing as Dermalize, Saniderm etc. At first it felt great, more comfortable than Dermalize actually. But after I removed it, I had an allergic reaction. My arm got red/pink ish, and after that faded away, I now have some bumps and it itches. Never reacted like this to Dermalize or Saniderm. 
Just thought I'd share my experiences if someone's considered trying it out - although everyone reacts differently.

Sorry to be bumping an "old" thread. I don't know, maybe a month isn't really considered old? 
Anyway, I like your tattoo. Like everyone else has said, it looks great and sits very nicely on your arm. I have 3 tattoos myself, and the first one I got is a backpiece. At first I was stoked, but as time went by I started hating it. I still hate it to this day, and will definetely get it covered one day. My other two I love. I got my last one almost a year ago, it covers most of my forearm. And in 2 weeks I will be getting the other side/tricep done - can't wait! 
When I get a new tattoo I usually feel stoked af from right on when the stencil comes on, to when I take that first look in the mirror. And it just kind of stays that way. I still, almost every day, look at my forearm and smile, and be like "I can't believe I'm wearing that!"
I hope you're feeling the same way about your mermaid by now :) 

Hahah yeah I had a feeling it was a bit too.. intricate. 
But I've been sitting here and doing some research, and just found something awesome, that might just be doable. I just sent my artist an email with some reference pictures, really stoked to hear what she thinks 🙂

I have both my elbows and both knees tattooed,the tattoos there have held up just as good as any other tattoos I have on other places on my body.

Have fun, @Gingerninja! 
I finished my right sleeve a couple of weeks ago. Going in for touchups and a few additions in a couple of weeks.
