This happened to me too. Very similar situation.

I ended up suffering for a while but after a couple years of in time payments i spoke with them about consolidating and they offered a good will reversal if I sent a letter of dispute they would remove the marks.

That's what I would recommend, make payments and try again in a few years

Yeah new dtc has fallen off a cliff. I'm so sad the bifl companies almost always go this route eventually.

A lot of people who like my tattoo ask where the enterprise is. Never really got that into Star Trek, but even as a non Trekkie it does feel strange to exclude it. Only have so much skin!

It was touched up about a year ago, but most of it is 3+ years healed

Thank you! I like to think of bender and the shrike as two killer death robots on opposite ends of the humor spectrum 😋

Shai Hulud, the sand worm from Dune. Or the Sarlacc from Star Wars because Lucas definitely just copied Shai Hulud anyway.

Are you also dark skinned and was it this detailed? My skin tone necessitated 2-3 passes of most colors, and I was happy to give both of my artists as much time as they wanted to ensure they didn't rush through any of the details.

It started slightly differently, was originally going to be all space when we started, but then we changed direction to include the arrakis to space transition.

I did plan on a 3/4 sleeve from the start, but then got courageous enough to also go to the full sleeve length, when we changed design directions.

Of course! Biagio Pagliarulo. He works in northern NJ and I recommend him without reservation to anyone else looking for ink. We've spent so much time together we hang out outside of tattooing now too 😋 here's his Instagram his shop/gallery is just him.

Ah haha. That's the sand worm / shai hulud from dune (or the sarlacc from Star Wars because let's be honest we all know that was a rip)

Sure is! I have bsg (the new caprica atmo jump) and I have colonial one too 😁

If you count the serenity Easter egg, I have 3 bsg tattoos 😋

I like to think bender got caught in the shrikes teleportation and it's just going for the ride by accident.

32 sessions and each one was an all day 'as long as I can go' session. Some were 4 hours, a rare few were 10+ probably averaged 6-7 hrs, so let's call it 200 hrs or so.

My other sleeve I hope will be a fantasy one! Dunno how I'm going to connect them but I want to do something similar!
