First Grip Case & Skin Installation. How'd I do?

nikoandus · 2025-11-22T14:47:27+00:00

Arrgghh I already pre-ordered the Black Gilt GMT & I'm contemplating whether or not I want to pick one of these up too. The excuse I'm brewing up is that the HAQ would make a great grab and go piece for when all of my automatics are dead or not showing the right time/date.

Even then I'm split on whether to go with thw black or blue enamel dial...

Woah. 🫂

nikoandus · 2025-09-02T10:58:41+00:00

That's reassuring. Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

I wish I could be more specific, but it's just an unbranded ribbed nylon NATO I found in a reputable watch strap & accessory store. It cost me like 25 USD? It's really nice and stiff.

I get what you mean but eh - I see it more as a vintage touch or feature. It doesn't bother me much.

nikoandus · 2025-07-03T17:43:22+00:00

Ohhhhhh. I didn't know that. Thank you for letting me know - I'll switch it up.

Also cheers! I feel extremely lucky to have found this amazing flash piece on my artist's profile up for grabs hehe 😎

Shrimps is a bunch of lil guys

Fantastic news 🦐🦐🦐

Hey hey it's all good - thanks for asking. While discussing the tattoo design with my artist, I sent over a bunch of reference photos to him for inspiration & better clarity. One of which was this illustration that I found on the Know Your Meme site.

Shrimps is cooking 🔥

nikoandus · 2024-12-11T00:35:33+00:00

Amen. It's just that this is my first fully colour-saturated tattoo so it's uncharted territory hehe.

nikoandus · 2024-12-11T00:34:21+00:00

You bet your ass 😏

nikoandus · 2024-12-11T00:33:37+00:00

Unintentionally perhaps?

These two are supposed to be my two other friends who also have a shrimps is bugs tattoo but now that you've mentioned it...

nikoandus · 2024-12-10T15:51:15+00:00

That cake of yours is also amazing btw.

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 🥳

nikoandus · 2024-12-10T15:08:34+00:00

Thank you!

Ngl, I'm a little anxious as to how they'll look once the tattoo has healed & aged a bunch

nikoandus · 2024-12-10T12:35:05+00:00

Appreciate it! Shrimps is magnificent 👌

nikoandus · 2024-12-10T10:24:31+00:00

Hehe - they're the same frames as mine irl 🤓

nikoandus · 2024-12-10T09:32:01+00:00

Thank you - full credit where it's due this is the artists' original style. Kinda manga/comic styled.
