    Omg it looks amazing, i think neotraditional tattos are underrated, it has amazing designs and it's literally one of them!

    Thanks yes I like this tattoo very much along with the others I got from my artist.

    However, this is not neo traditional ... but traditional. Neo traditional tend to have more detail along with liberal use of color.

  2. So, at one time we all had to unveil our work done to family, etc. I have told my ma that I was getting a tattoo and showed her it ... entire inner forearm. And she reacted pretty positively.  Strange as she is old (I'm 52 lol) and very conservative. Of course, since then I have gotten quite a bit more done.

    My plan is to wear long sleeve shirts and roll up to elbows (all work so far on arms) and let her get used to the idea. We are set to all go to Hawaii in June and can't unveil all at once ... she might have a stroke lol.

    Any strategy advice...? Haha and yes I care, although I'm 52 she still my ma you know?

  3. I'm guessing for us older folks, it's a bit more challenging for artists. I'm close to 52 and have a bit of skin crepey on arms. I would think we are more susceptible to blow outs and harder for line work in skin sag areas. For us olders, what do you think?

    Walgreens does have some smaller sizes, which can overlap. 

    Your artist might already be planning on using it. Ask him/her. 

    Thank you, I will ask my artist.

  5. Although I have a car, I primarily ride my motorcycle. The artist about 2.5 hrs from me. The tatt will be on inner forearm. I have a riding shirt that will keep off the sun and there's not too much flapping against my arms but yes there will be some. 

    I figure the artist will wrap it right? So no problems on the bike home? Thanks

  6. I'm getting my forearm done and afterward I hope I can lift and cycle about 3  or 4 days after. 

    When lifting I figure I could apply some antibiotic healing gel and wrap with  fresh guaze? Do the same when cycling but add a sleeve over it to protect from sun.

    Now I don't work out too intense these days so it's not like I become a dirty sweaty mess during these sessions? 

    Any problem with this? Would hate to take a 3 week break from exercise. Oh.. and plan on getting work done for awhile ...

    I'll agree with @Hogrider: such designs are inherently made to be coloured, a black & white rendition would be absolutely inappropriate (which does not necessarily mean it would be a ugly tattoo, though).

    I am pretty sure I will be going with color ... but a lot of prominent American Traditional artists are also doing black and grey and they look good. So, inappropriate I'm not sure is the word I would use. It seems a lot of artists are doing their interpretation of the style with their own flash designs etc ... but yes I'm aware the the basic rules to the style.
