Don't scratch it. Slap it like the bitch it is.

Sleeve-y sleeve being done in Beijing. Chinese Opera/flower/bat freehand jazz.

If you mean the Japanese writing system using Chinese characters that is called 'kanji' in Japanese, then it can be written and read both vertically and horizontally. Make sure you don't get a tampon advertisement tattooed. P.S. Vertical would be the more "traditional" thang.

I hope I'm stating the obvious, but you misspelled "absence" in your drawings! It's probably a good idea to run any word you want to inject into your skin through a spell check first. And then decide against a lettering backpiece. Looks like you're in the stage that comes after the "I think I want a tattoo" phase: "Now need to find something with meaning". Obviously, words have the most accessible meanings. Wait till you're over that, and then let someone draw something beautiful for you. How it looks is what matters.

Got it, thanks for sharing and glad your tattoo helped you improve your self-image.

Oh ok, I understand. Probably.

Damn that's a convincing piece of literature

Hi, just curious: are those tits part of a religious tattoo as well?

How I wish Jack Rudy was right

Hey, so that's the only decent picture I got of my sleeve in its current state. Done in Beijing. It's been fun so far!

Hi. Personal styles and tastes aside, I can't see anything really "off" with your tattoo. Best advice in these cases: Get another good tattoo and you'll stop focusing so much on this one. - - - Updated - - - Hi.

Hi. Am I missing some pics you uploaded of this guy's work maybe? Otherwise it's kinda hard to give an opinion.
