Nice one @EdH.  The inner forearm was one of the toughest, most painful spots for me, especially when it comes to the more ambitious work.

[EdH]

First one just having the lines touched up.

[EdH]

And here we go again…

For sure. Now that we’re onto the back of the arm it’s a breeze.

[EdH]

And here’s the two that went in today. Should finish the sleeve in the middle of the summer.

@Matt I was hoping for pictures from your urologist appointment…

Badass. I like it.

Bet it sucked going in though.

[Matt]

Oh yeah. Not a fun one.

He said he overloaded the black in the areas where he thought the color might fall out. It should lighten up around the knuckles and fingers as it heals. Hands are tough.

[EdH]

Yeah, the hydra that went across my elbow, the snake head needed be be touched up 3 times. Moving parts are a bugger.

[Matt]

I messed up an elbow falling off a bike. I did NOT bother having it touched up. Wabi sabi is preferable to elbow tats.

[EdH]

Agreed. My guy and I have agreed that we're leaving both sides of the elbow alone on the right arm.

Speaking of which, seeing him again in mid-April, and looking forward to seeing what he's drawn up for me.

I had to get my hands blasted a few times before the ink looked like it would stay...sucked every time.

Here's one of me drunk in a hottub in Asheville

Been working on a cover up since Covid. Shoulders to bottom of the cheeks.

[EdH]

@Oaktavia Looks like you've been collecting the suit for a while! How's the blacked-out arm taking the ink?

@iammortalcombat Thanks for not showing the bottom of the cheeks! XD But seriously, I'm digging this, especially on the scaly wings and the snake.
