nice man.  Who did u get to design these?  The dark souls one is rad.

Dark Souls one I found on the internet actually. I think someone put together a couple pieces of official art to make it, but it looks like a single piece, which is awesome. And, thanks! I think it's pretty rad too.

The Zelda/Coheed one I actually put together myself. I looked for a while for a triforce symbol that matched the "noisy" look of the keywork so that they'd stylistically fit. Then I did some editing to it so that it was a bit more uniform and removed the triforce and inserted the keywork.

Yikes, no wonder your arm was swollen. That's a lot dark filled in patches. Turned out pretty cool though.

Thanks man. I think I was in the chair for near 3 hours the first time. I guess some people's skin takes it better than others. Mine can't quite take the beating that others' can.

Initially I thought it was an Okami tattoo...

The Zelda/Coheed combo is awesome; great mashup, meshes really well.

Thanks! I angsted over that one for a long time. Wanted it to be perfect since it was my first.

Freak'n sweet! 
That big ass wolf was so memorable in Souls!
If I ever got a tattoo it would probably be a zombie or skull or something. 

Thanks man! I love the whole story of Artorias and Sif and how Sif is sitting there still guarding his grave after death. Thought it was the perfect scene to capture those two characters and my love of that series... plus it looks cool.

Hey, I've seen some cool zombie and skull tattoos! The process of picking out a tattoo is pretty time-consuming since you want it to be perfect being that it's permanent and all. Some people just show up at the shop and pick a design out of a book, which is kind of crazy to me. I'm probably going to get some more stuff done on my arms in the future and I'm sure I'll continue angsting over ever little choice.

I'm the same as you I guess?I'd have to spend a lot of time thinking about the piece, color v black/white, caligraphy/cursive? I wouldn't be able to walk in and choose like a menua at McDonalds. Just eww! No!

I miss getting Ink. Since my heart surgery I can n longer get them .

Oh man, that's a bummer 

Those look amazing! 

I want to get a few tattoo's but I wanna lose weight first which means I'll probably never get any,lol! 

I dig your newest piece. The art style is really cool. Also digging how the C&C goes with the Zelda imagery.
