Got a little spider from Dylan Homer at Tattoo Union in Vancouver

 
Also, how do you embed instagram posts? I can't figure that out...

Never heard of him until I looked him up just now. It's like there's this parallel universe of famous tattooers who aren't good, and no good tattooer would take seriously. At least now I know where all that tiny shitty script comes from.

sorry folks these photos are too big, don't know how to resize down, i've been having probs linking urls from the 'gram,
I've got a little choice spot above the skull. i actually think i might blast over the nonsensical skull. who knows what yet.

and here's the wraparound OllieXXX whale in better view:

Palm/Lightning Bolt are 12years old, Turtle is 11, Shark is 7, Octopus is 6 ... :)
it's almost time to start thinking about filling in those open spots on the back of the calf. blast in solid bright-ass yellow in the bad brains bolt. maybe a mini-beach scene inside the palm tree. likely going to blast over the red-yellow rising sun. also thinking of getting the turtle redone (by the same tattooer Miles Kanne) in the next few years. I'm keeping the blue water, how Y2K-Canadian of me

@Iape just copy and paste the URL and it automatically formats.

Todd Noble did a Percy Waters girl for me and I took a really bad photo of it (sigh).  I love it, though.

I'm filling up an awkward space this Saturday with a spider. I m stoked.

Tattoos age, just like you and your skin. It will never look like the day you got it, it will only get "worse"- or lived in.
That being said, it looks like the teeth part is from scarring, but it still looks like a cool tattoo, I'd leave it.
 
I don't think the sun did this. Then I'd basically would have to redo all my tattoos each year cause I spend quite a bit of time outside with no shirt on.

I've got a few to add to this thread:

Little late here. Got this one waaayyyy back in November of 2015 from Chad Koeplinger while he was at Tattoo Paradise in DC. Tough to get a good pic because of the way it wraps, but you get the idea.

I got this little one shot eagle yesterday at the Quebec City convention from Trevor McStay.

It wraps a lot because it takes up most of my thigh so here are a couple of pictures.

Let's not take the "don't talk about money" rule too far. Perfectly fine to ask an artist what his/her rate is and how many hours it will take and do the math. Bring extra in case it goes over an hour or two and always tip your artist.

I'll go against everyone here and say that if you aren't comfortable with the idea of getting a tattoo, hold it off for a while. Your skin will still be there, the artist will probably only be better at their medium and you might even get some interest of your savings..
I don't think that you'll regret your tattoo, the artist is great and it's a very classic Japanese design. What people regret is lame moto text, turd birds, upside-down tattoos, whatever springbreak tattoo and dagger handles that poke out of your neckline that looks like a dickhead.
