Other Got a new tattoo, thats got 6 now - cover up phase 1 of 3 23/05/12

I have a tattoo on my arm, it looks like this



It's something i used to doodle alot when I was doing a music degree at uni, so i thought I would get it put on me to remind me about uni and music, considering my life is mainly computers these days.

Its a bit tribal, and I don't really like tribal tats, but I drew it so to me its not really tribal

It did used to be in the middle of my arm, but then the gym happened and so did mad triceps so that made it shift a bit off centre, it moves about my arm depending on how much I am working out ha.

(this picture is at least a year old, maybe a bit more)

 

So with you being in a music degree, was it an usual treble clef design? as it has similarities - looks good, even my daughter approves lol



like the title says its not finished as got some flames to put round him so that it covers the old flames and the writing from the original tat and hopefully gunna make it into a half sleve, where the writing comes out of his mouth, i could maybe make it into some sort of forked tongue or something but not 100% sure yet lol

 

Doesn't the new design (which is a vast improvement on the original) need the internal face of ramus (part of the jaw) adding in? the lower jaw looks like it's only connected on one side of the skull.

 

when its done the words from the other tat (crap 1 underneeth) will have flames and fire around it and inside mouthso it would be like he is breathing the it from within sort of thing, then the continuation of skulls/death theme aith flames will continue onto and covering my shoulder and workin round my upper arm as a sleeve or as my new artist suggested, he could put a bloodshot eyeball in there or something like that , i may even seetle for an 8 ball lol

 

Fair enough! If that's what floats your boat!!

 

I am glad that fellow is wearing a shirt in the recent picture in this thread.

There are only so many man-boobs you can look at before lunch.

 

and I do have almighty boobs too. tis why I kept the shirt on

 

just an update on the skull cover up was down to get it finished today but my wife wanted her mess sorting out which took an hour (which ate half of my hour session) so still got the flames to be added yet.

Anyway without further ado........

 

Looks tons better!

I've always thought about a tattoo i just have never found a piece of artwork i want permanently placed on my body

I've always though of upper chest across the collarbone area (below your average work/dress shirt vision) so i can show it off when i want but cover on a work basis

 

What is that in the skulls mouth?

 

a bloodshot eyeball
