I hope that image code works!! I tried uploading it through this website, but it kept not working for me (i will work on that). Not the best pic, but the tat is fucking amazing. The pic def does not do it justice as all of his lines and shading and everything are just so crisp and clean. The white highlights really make the tattoo. I really dont know how he did it. It is my first tat, and I am pretty sure now it will not be my last. Paul is an amazing artist and owns a great shop. All of the people I met there were really nice and the shop was super clean. I really had a fantastic experience for my first tattoo, and I am just super stoked. When it heals I will post some more (and BETTER) pics!

great tattoo, but your photography skills could use some improvement.

Do you have a table lamp somewhere? If so, take the shade off, and stand with your back facing it. Have your wife stand next to the lamp, so the light is shining on your back. Make sure she's not in the front of it blocking the light, though. If it's too shiny, I'd say wipe away the ointment, take the pic, and reapply.
Very very nice tattoo, I must say.
edit: It looks like you took the pic under yellow lighting, too. If you have a fluorescent light, use that with the above explanation.

You brought it upon yourself. lol.no comments about my b'acne' please!!
But I hope you don't break out because of the tat. With mine, I broke out with 'acne?' on the portion that's on my back, but not my ribs. I've never had acne anywhere...I was lucky with that. But there's this one spot on my back around the tattoo that has it. *sigh*

eh - it might happen, but i hope not. what sucks is that i dont really have acne anywhere except for my back, so even if I do break out there, i wont be able to blame it on the tattoo haha.ArcticWolf wrote:But I hope you don't break out because of the tat.
Looks great. The pic might be a bit bad but it looks like a clearly well designed tattoo. The dude is kinda creeping me out a bit though.wheresmymrdon wrote:

I think he's saying Picasso would be sad to know his art wasn't recognized.wheresmymrdon wrote:wait. what? are you saying its bad?Aivanne wrote:oh boy Pablo is kicking his own face in his grave.hooves wrote: The dude is kinda creeping me out a bit though.
