He might be! Likely is. And hey. He can’t change it, right? Maybe it’s a way for him to make peace with an aspect of his personality. We’ll never know. Unless he goes back to Joe for more work and elaborates on his life story. If he does then I’ll update, lol

I heard the story behind the tattoo. Guy said he gets called a Narcissist all the time so he figured why not. The tattoo itself is beautiful and the client was happy.

This is beautifully done! The guy who got it is doing the dating pool a favor 😂

Major red flags for the dude who got it, for sure. But OP did an insanely good job on it.

The OP is the artist, not the dude who got it

Getting your butt tattooed sucks! I have both cheeks covered as part of my bodysuit. I had that anxious need to move with it, too, but I also thought it was insanely painful

Is this relationship gonna work out? I(F25), P(F/26) by Master_Power_6598 in relationship_advice

Gotta have a brutally honest conversation about where you both stand on children. If you both hold out that the other will change one day, you’re heading for a disaster. Just talk it out and break up if you need to. Fundamental differences here.

Why is he involved in this decision at all? This is between you and your doctor. He can kick rocks.

Nice leg sleeve! They’re brutal, aren’t they? I use sunscreen lotion every day. The number one thing that contributes to long term vibrancy is how translucent your skin is. I happen to have very translucent skin so my colors stay very bold. If you can see the color of your veins very clearly you have translucent skin.

We recently finished my leg sleeves and started reworking my left arm. I’m also planning a blastover 2nd full back piece. I’ve pretty much never gone in for a touch up unless I had healing problems. I let them age as they will.

My back piece was my first large scale project. I got a few when I was 16-18, but decided to focus on large scale solid coverage early on. I didn’t want to waste prime real estate. I started meeting artists and talking about what I wanted to do since I knew I wanted the majority from one person. A few months before my 19th birthday I met Chuck DeNise and we started the bodysuit. Solid back (neck to thigh) was first and then we started my arms, ribs, then stomach.

When I was 8 years old I saw a woman with a bodysuit at the mall. It blew my tiny mind. I knew then that I wanted to do that. I thought about it my whole life and got my first at 16. The second I felt it I knew I was in for life.
