Here are crappy pics of my left arm. Through a mirror no less. Jason Scott did all the background work and left the perfect amount of negative space in my opinion. All the little blue flowers and vine swirl stuff was done by him.  I love what he did.

Ooh that's starting to peel perfectly.  Not a scab to be seen!  Such an amazing back piece @sophistre

Super nice!!!! @oboogie

Josh took a photo of my little rescue, Jasper, and tattooed him for me. I'm so in love with it.

Was stoked to see this pop up on instagram! Very cool to see all the phases.

Amazing!  @Hands On

I know that:
"Man mildly inconvenienced due to voluntary, likely to be ostracizing, cosmetic choice" isn't as fun a headline but come on...
This is not a civil rights instance. Or at least it shouldn't be. Equating this circumstance to the terrible divisions and hate people faced (and still do in many parts of the world) is "embarrassing". Lumping things like this in with legitimate cases of discrimination trivializes the injustices those people are facing. 
And, since you side-stepped it in your other response: Who's rights are being violated if you are required by law to provide a service or labor for someone against your will because of a cosmetic life choice they made? Do others have a right to your labor simply because they ask? 
Rights have to go both ways if they are rights. 
 

Really dude???  Employers have to follow civil rights laws and yet still can hire and fire based on tattoos, piercings, hair length, facial hair...  don't believe me?  Try getting a job a Disneys magic kingdom

welcome bud
well you're obviously in capable hands! nice tattoo! for your other arm I'd suggest going back to the same cat who did your arm. they can make a nice balanced look in terms of length, inner arm cutoff and, foldover onto the chest, background composition. subject could be facing down (opposite to your fish going up). the mythology says the koi fish swims upstream and if he is strong enough to reach the top he transforms into a dragon...symbolic of strength.
can't go wrong with a Dragon !!
...although here at LST you will also here us say "can't go wrong with a Panther!"
cheers

heres some photos of it!
 
also curious. i wanted to start a new thread under the advice section but im not able to. im guessing its because im new. do you guys know when ill be able to start a thread?

Tattooed people are not a protected class under the law. Neither are nudists by the way or any other voluntary lifestyle choice.

After doing a bunch of searching I can't believe there aren't any other threads like this!  I was hoping that there would be a thread similar to the back piece thread for arms.
Would like to see more pictures of cohesive sleeves that work as one piece of art.  I've got a collection of images I've saved for my own reference, but it would be great to see what the LST community can put forward.  To help things along.... here's some images from my collection!
