3rd session done with Nick Colella. We did all the color and I asked him to put a rose in. Glad I got something by Nick himself. He freehand drew it and it turned out awesome. 1 more session left for filler.

Well thankfully I went with the advice from all the veterans here. I chose to use Nick Colella. I posted this elsewhere but wanted to keep my progress all in one thread. The pictures below are where I am at and go for color on October 25th. I am so excited I can't wait. I do have one dilemma, I am not sure if I should try to get one more image in the spot between the racing flag and dogs ear in the last picture. I don't really have anything else in mind for this arm and looked at daggers, roses etc and don't think they will mesh will the other tattoos on my arm. I plan n asking Nick his opinion too. When I left, we planned on 2 more sessions. One for color the other for filler. So I have to decide fairly quickly what to do. Picture before last is the filler I planned on asking for. Thanks again guys, great advice!

Have my fourth and final session with Nick Colella at Great Lakes Tattoo this Thursday. I am excited to see the background filler put in. I have one in mind but also will ask his advice/opinion on which way to go. Thanks to everyone here who took the time out to teach me what a good tattoo and better yet what a good artist is. I was fortunate to stumble across the forum and I have tried to be a sponge with all the information. Thanks

Been restoring for 16 years...... :) everything will be new. I have new floors, new wiring/fuse block, everything little by little cause of cost.

Thanks guys. Couldn't sleep last night. I kept looking at it and thinking I should of used the tegaderm like I planned. I go back for filler on the 19th so if any touch ups are needed I can do it then. Looks like I will use tegaderm from here on out to prevent this mess. I still have no idea why I scabbed so terribly when the other 5 remained smooth and just have peeled with no scabbing. I am keeping my fingers crossed cause right now it looks like everything is mush.
