Stared the bottom portion of my sleeve. This was after eight hours in the chair...

Go back in late April. Can't wait!

Very well done! Unfortunately the other one on your arm doesn't really look good next to it.
 
No way! The Fear Factory logo rocks, looks great Rhett! :cool:

Thanks Dan... I have meet the band and have been following them since they first started out!! Love them....

I disagree with your last statement. I think it's a good contrast. I like it when tattoos are separate and well-defined. :)

I want another one really bad.

I have a followup in late April. The rest of the shading and coloring will be completed and the back of the arm will be finished also. I plan on having the other tattoo's I have worked into a sleeve.... I can't wait!!! Thanks for the compliments!

Beautiful work. I love the contrast of the purple flowers and the samurai. Is there a story behind it?

Agreed. And I want another one really bad too...... I just can't think of anything I want yet:p

A little yes. The warrior is actually loosely based off the Samurai warrirors known as the "Red Devils". I am not related to them or anything of that nature, I just read up on them because I liked how uniform there outfits were and the fact the "general" would wear a helmet with long horns and a mask so it looked like a demon was taking the field of battle. Really dug that. Hence the red mask. I did not want to go full red because I wanted a few more colors in the mix.

The back of the arm is going to be one of the flags known as a "Sashimono" which is also solid red with a gold/yellow marker at the top of the flag.

Other then that, the rest were items I just liked and wanted to incorporate into the piece.

I have a bunch but this is one i just started

This is looking freaking killer!!!!!!!! What are you going to be putting towards the top??

Very cool. I've read a little about that type of Samurai.

Most likely my next piece will be on my shoulder (a sleeve starting mid-bicep and covering my deltoid), and it will involve Asian stylings. Most likely blowing leaves, flower petals, and wind. You can guess the type of leaf......

I like to sit on my ideas for a little while (a few months or so), sketch it out, and then choose an artist to perfect the design.

You and me both. Sat on this for quite a few months.
 
My two. I've added shading and a banner with my late Dad's DOB and date of passing on the British lion/shield tat.:(

My new tattoo. It's my Mom tat. :p

Slightly skewed in this picture-- my arm is at a bad angle.

The colors are also a lot brighter in person. Took the picture on my crappy cellphone. ><
