.

its not colored yet, but for one sitting it looks fucking amazing. Those are roses on the O's that will be colored in as well... for a first session, im fucking happy.


edit - im loving the hollow point bullet w/ the laurel!

[eddie shots]

i know that felt sweet.

[DukeCityDrunk]

i know that felt sweet.

you know it... especially on the sternum bone , being as skinny as me.

[eddie shots]

when i got my chest done everytime i heard the gun start going i tensed up. it hurt that much and tensing up made it worse. the whole shop was watching,laughing, and asking me how it felt. bastards.

[KCHooligan1911]

The chest hurt like hell...up near the top of the sternum was hellish, and just below my sternum/top of the stomach was awful. Worth it in the end, but I was not happy while in the chair.

[Skones]

Is it just the angle, or are the laurels not even?

[biglippedbruiser]

Haha, kind of makes your nipples look bigger, but still very cool.

[Weasel]

Haha, kind of makes your nipples look bigger, but still very cool.
i think it will look more subtle after it heals.

[biglippedbruiser]

i think it will look more subtle after it heals.

I think i kinda just wanted to say nipples. :biggrin:

[DukeCityDrunk]

Is it just the angle, or are the laurels not even?

well its more even than in the pic, but the right side is bigger

yea those were my 2 worst spots. the bottom sternum is fucking horrible.

[steelcityskin]

looks good bro, i don't miss that feeling that's for damned sure:biggrin:

[Tokyohoon]

You got through all that in one sitting, you're a better man than me.

I think you hit damn near every nasty area above the ribs.

[Oz.]

the whole thing looks a bit uneven in that photo. the birds, the laurel, the stars, the lot. that doesn't detract from the design at all however. actually complements the whole old school feel (at least before the colour hit). very nice.

[DukeCityDrunk]

might as well get em over with ha ha. but yea i just woke up in the middle of the night feeling like a freight train hit my chest. fuck.

[OiMommy!]

See/ thats whats stopping me from getting my upper chest done.......the pain!:frown:

I like it though..it really is "old school".........it'll be interesting to see the coloring done.

[plastic paddy]

Whats stopping me is the fact Im a wookie. I could nair I suppose....

[grouchybastid]

I'm in the same woolly boat.

[Truth]

Very nice shading. I don't see why you should, or how you would incorporate color into that because the shading is pretty extensive. Anyway, good piece.

[Dutch Raven]

Very nice.

[DukeCityDrunk]

yea im kinda thinking the same... the shading was a nice touch, im definately getting the roses colored in though.

[tatooskin]

some nice ink thir fair play be good to see the end result

[AnthonyC]

very nice, but iam just wondering why alot of people are gettting "pinapple" style gernades on their chest?

[OiMommy!]

very nice, but iam just wondering why alot of people are gettting "pinapple" style gernades on their chest?
Its the old style

[Dixon]

Whats that In the Laurels man, that a bullett or a butt plug?

I jest, Nice work man, im a big fan of any DBD tattoos

[BoobsNBoots]

You boys aren't supposed to say it hurts. If it kills a big man then it scares me about getting mine done. Whatever, fuck all yall pussies!

[KCHooligan1911]

Don't be scared, it's worth it in the end. If you want it, you can handle it. Plus, at least in my opinion, chest tattoos on girls = thumbs up.

[lionspride]

Damn that's one hell of a session. Looks great by the way. Can't wait to see what it looks like when you're finished.

What are you gonna get added to it next time?

[BoobsNBoots]

Don't be scared, it's worth it in the end. If you want it, you can handle it. Plus, at least in my opinion, chest tattoos on girls = thumbs up.
Yeah..I know it'll be worth it, but it will be my first tattoo and all these guys are crying about it hurting, and it makes it seem a little scarier. I got a little more meat in my chestal region so maybe it won't be as bad.

I'm just trying to make myself feel better here.

my first tattoo was a full body tattoo of me, only taller. don't let these guys scare you, it felt like I was getting tickled.

[rachel]

Looks good, I likey. But the hollow point bullet you so adore kinda looks like a buttplug:biggrin:

[Dutch Raven]

Looks good, I likey. But the hollow point bullet you so adore kinda looks like a buttplug:biggrin:

Hence the adoration.

[DukeCityDrunk]

Hence the adoration.

ya it was dutch - inspired!!!!


as far as adding on to it... i have a few more plans.... just gotta pay the bills first :mad: hahah

[DukeCityDrunk]

Looks good, I likey. But the hollow point bullet you so adore kinda looks like a buttplug:biggrin:


doesnt that make me more Oi! though????

[Boothead]

doesnt that make me more Oi! though????

No, more like a dvd.

[DukeCityDrunk]

No, more like a dvd.


better than a cow. ha ha, but for real man, your title frootie bootie fits nicely on you!

[Boothead]

Nobody can hate... THE frootie bootie

[Dutch Raven]

Than it should have been a klomp.

[DukeCityDrunk]

Than it should have been a klomp.

at least its not a sock

[Dutch Raven]

Good tattoo idea: a sock with a hole in it.

[KCHooligan1911]

You'll be fine.

what do you guys got against socks?!?

[BoobsNBoots]

Ew, he's talking about a different sock..like a permanantly attached one..

Excuse me while I barf.

I'm washing my eyes with Bon Ami.

Is that bleach?

[Billy Klubb]

Is that bleach?
kind of like Ajax

[Dawgnuts]

I guess ill be the only one to tell the truth. The line work is shotty as hell and the shadding will be super light after it heals. It will need to be gone over again. To much water in the black.

It looks cool and im sure you are happy with it but it could have been done by better hands.

The shading looks like what I had on my backpiece legs, aka noy going to show from 10meters away...
And yeah, I like the idea, but could have been done by better hands... Either that or you were jerking too much at the pain and it got a bit fucked up(and I can TOTALLY undestand that).

I want a chestpiece for my birthday, but I already know it's going to be painfull like hell... I think I'll do that when I turn 23 and a bit more accustomed to getting inked in painfull spots aka getting about 5 more in the meantime;-P

See the artist is probably using that light shading to put depth into the color instead of using concentrated colors which will in turn make everything look kinda "dirty" or murky and not very clear later on down the road. Alot of tattoo artists do this and it looks good but not as good as what it could be.

exactly. if it were too dark, it wouldn't blend w/ the upcoming color.

[DukeCityDrunk]

just an update on how it healed... color will be added SOON. red, white, blue, green, brown, and yellow.

again, those roses on the O's are coverups, so they look shitty as hell until i get them filled in w/ color.

I'd shoot the bastard for the wreath/laurel being waayyyy crooked,first thing.
Symetrically,the whole piece is a fucking mess..Sorry bud..

[IronCityBoot]

Kind of have to agree. Hopefully the color might do something for it but I doubt it. I'd be pissed if it were me.

[AustMade]

I don't mean to be jumping on the band wagon here, but I think your tattooer should have put a lot more time into getting everything symetrical, especially the laurel and the swallows (are they meant to be representative of B-52 bombers or similar, btw?). Personally, I really don't like the cut-throats; they look like a child's drawing. (But at least you've got the balls to go for some decent-sized work and I respect that). On the other hand; none of that means shit if you're happy with it. Because in the end, that's what counts.

[Weasel]

what are the roses covering up? why is that laurel so crooked? on purpose? i like the rest of it, for the most part.

[SWIFTY]

4 out of 10 for effort

Precisely what I was trying not to say because I couldn't think of a diplomatic way to say it... well put.

[ACSkin]

It's pretty crooked dude.If you're into old school shit...you got it!

[DukeCityDrunk]

haha it is an old school piece... but anyways, im getting it colored in this morning, so later on tonight ill post up pics... i'm pretty excited, but i have a busy day afterwards so i dont know how that will work out. At least poker night is tonight in duke city!

[Doc]

I would think about thickening up the outlines - it will sort out some of the shaky line work......like on the cut-throats. I mean.....we all prefer fat lines right?

[skunk]

It is an interesting piece of work. I think the cross is a nice touch. So are you going to get the grenade pin tattooed to your hand?

just an update on how it healed... color will be added SOON. red, white, blue, green, brown, and yellow.

It will be interesting to see how these colors turn out

[Bartley_Gorman_lookalike]

you're a better man than me anyway

[DukeCityDrunk]

ok i pussed out on the chest color and got a new tattoo... will make new thread. doh!
