    Moving on with my sleeve work... YAY~!!!!

    So I finally got in to see this guy at Black Anchor Collective in Hesperia
    And started to finally work on the rest of my sleeve, long time coming!!!
    This is gonna have to be a 3 part sitting according to Nikko.
    The Man ...and he is the man, he is truly and artist!!!
    Part 1 about done with whats left to do(stenciled)....then we still have to design the rest!
    I hope (fingers crossed) to get back in when he gets back from Australia.

    That is one sick tattoo! I know how hard is to do some realistic drawing on paper, and much more on the skin (I did tattoos many years ago). Can't wait to see it done! You're so lucky!

    The only compairible work I've seen to your tat was out of a place called Maverick's near Destin, FL. I'm looking at getting some Mando'a sayings on my forearm soon, and possibly the mythosaur. Just need to figure out how to work it all into a nice sleeve.

    EODVerd that is the hard part laying it out.
    Nikko and I keep changing the layout on mine too.
    Here is Boba all finished from Thursday night, (pic from his instagram)minus the jetpack. Which will be done when we do some final touchups in a month or so.

    Awesome work and your tattooist nailed the design perfectly. I've always been too scared to get one of Fett because so many things could go wrong and I just haven't come across a tattooed I feel I can trust with the level of detail Fett would need.

    Yup, the layout is the hardest. I stick to my week rule. If I can set a layout on my desk and look at it everyday and be satsified then I'll start getting the outline done. I'm probably going to get my daughter's name in Mando script on my chest. As for getting sleeves I might be forced to start early since the Army is looking at banning sleeve tattoos, unless you have them before they initiate the regulation. Definitely staying away from tribal.

    Hi everyone! Still around, just not getting in here very often.

    Been very busy sewing as always, and for a few members here as a matter of fact!
    I did take some time to add to this sleeve in between trooping and sewing.
    I hope in April to add what might be the last of it...maybe.
    new-ink-sleeve.jpg this is on the opposite side of the Aurra Sing young Boba tat, beginning-boba-sleeve.jpgdown at the inside of my wrist. Han is above the Young Boba image closer to my elbow.
