Your views are simple, alright.

I'm about 3 quarters tattooed. Do I strike you as mentally instable? You're labelling most pro athletes as nuts, too. Certainly Premier League footballers. The majority of them are plastered in tattoos.

Don't most footballers have mental issues from concussions though?
 
Got 5 more hours of work done today. Outlining is done! Now its just a shit ton of shading work. Have two more 5 hour sessions booked, but will probably need a couple more after that. By the time this is all done I will have spent ~4 months getting inked and healing.

After this one I think I might be done getting tattoos beyond touch up work.
(I know, famous last words... before getting another)

Another session in the books. Was 4.5 hours of nothing but black shading.... and we only got 2/3's of one side done. In two weeks we go to the left side and do the same. Not sure the two sessions after that will be enough to finish the black and do the color. Oh well.... it will get done some time this year.
 
And 5 more hours in the books. Have ~2/3 of black shading done on both sides now. I go back in two weeks to try and get the black shading finished on the right side and MAYBE start to work on a little color.

After that I have 6 week break before I go do the same on the left side. I am pretty confident we will need 3 more sessions after that (2 color and one touch up) to be done. So I am thinking ill be done with these in September-ish.

So that will probably clock in at 45hours all told. lol I dont know what I was thinking.
 
Four more hours in the books. Holly shit the inner arm is spicy. That and the back bit of the arm pit were damn near torture.

But on the positive side, my artist says he thinks we can get it finished in the next three sessions (including touch ups!).
 
Was back for more fun on Sunday. Another 5 hours of work doing color on one side. At the end we did some touchups to the black shading on that side. So probably 4.5 hours of color and .5 hours touvching up black. Assuming it heals well that side should be done done. Which leaves (hopefully) just one more session to do the same on the other side.

OMG will it be nice to not be healing from ink. We are 7 months into this and only about 6 weeks left. I can see the finish like and the badass results.
 
I don't get people with regret, you take the best decision at the time you take it.

I have tattoos on my fingers, forearms and stomach. Then some smaller ones on my shoulders and upper back.

I plan to get full sleeves, some neck tattoos and I really want one on my head. They're more expensive in this economy, thanks Biden.
 
yeah im cool just gradually getting work done and aiming towards full sleeves on both arms eventually

my tattoos arent for anyone else to enjoy but me, and they all sorta remind me of different periods in my life, and different things i enjoy

i'm a highly expressive person in general, and the little doodles on my my arms only add to that

Nope. Never. There are probably exceptions to the rule but overall I think @Ascend has it right.

Good God man. How much have you spent on this endeavor?
 
Finished up my last 5 hour session today!!!! Knowing it was the last planned one made it not feel as bad. Today was color and touch ups on my left side. All told it was 8 session over 7 months and just under 40 hours of work to do two half sleeves and chest work in traditional Japanese.

Besides a possible minor touch up session when its all a few months healed, I think I am done getting inked for a minute.
