Hey guys,
Got my first tattoo last night. Took 3.5 hours with two 5 minute breaks.
Its the crest of the country where I was born in.

Nice, who did the work and how much was it?

evomike · 08-03-2009, 07:54 PM

I was aware of that before I even had it done, from what I was told large red areas like that never come out 1st try. In person the way the red is now makes it actually look like the crest is velvet so I'm liking it.

You won't after it heals and you can see trough it

I know that, my wife and her whole family have tons of tattoos. So I know the process but thanks for the heads up.

Looks nice man. very well done

RSX Type-Slow · 08-03-2009, 10:12 PM

im digging the design, but honestly i think there could be more detail in the horses, in the crest, and some of the lines look squigly.

ASIAN JUL · 08-03-2009, 10:14 PM

Wow, I would have never been able to sit that long. I would've been fidgeting like crazy.

Looks pretty nice man, what country is it that you were born in?

Not to nit pick but at the top of the 'badge' (for lack of better term) the two lines at the top look like they're crooked/wavy. Maybe that's just the way your skin is creasing because of your pose though?

StiChick06 · 08-03-2009, 10:54 PM

wow!! i like it a lot!

Christina_at_QMC · 08-03-2009, 11:04 PM

lagos · 08-03-2009, 11:43 PM

looks good. congrats. chicks dig tats.

Vypurr · 08-04-2009, 12:05 AM

Looks cool, but a little too cartoony for me. I would have love to see it rendered as a super realistic tat.

justinlansdale · 08-04-2009, 12:47 AM

lookin' good simon!

Proven · 08-04-2009, 01:31 AM

I think you should of gotten a fighting irishman or butterfly.

Kidding of course... Looks awsome man!!

05DC5teg · 08-04-2009, 01:39 AM

Looks pretty good man! Going for a half sleeve soon...

**Ender81** · 08-04-2009, 01:54 AM

I could see why some would say more detail but keep in mind it's a crest so it would normally not be detailed. Looks pretty good.

Elliott18t · 08-04-2009, 02:27 AM

this has more shading etc, than the original.. it looks great in person.

i was there when he got it.

terrorcel · 08-04-2009, 09:59 AM

Thanks for the comments guys. The crest is Lithuanian. The original design simply had an outline of the rider, griffin, and unicorn, so the shading was just something the artist came up with.
