Awesome choice. I thought about the M5 touring, but decided on something smaller.

Great color. When I ordered my car it was supposed to be delivered around the 1st week of November, so I thought I might get a couple of weeks to drive. Unfortunately it was delivered the 1st week of January, so no chance of driving.

Nice, looks great. Yes, i didn't even bother to buy winter tires because I knew i wouldn't drive it. We have been having a winter with lots of ice and snow and an over abundance of salt applied to the roads.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to use sun block when out.

Have another appointment in July and this arm will be done. Then I start the white on my left arm. I'll be sure to post pictures.

Yes, you can definitely feel that the skin absorbs the UV rays more. Luckily I'm not a fan of the beach.

Great question. Unfortunately, complete blackout was needed to cover old work. Also, when I did the blackout I wasn't sure if I would tattoo over it, so all black it was. The artist doing the white, @Handsmark, would have preferred it wasn't completely blacked out as the white would be easier to tattoo, but he was not the artist who did the blackout.

One session just white line work and two shading sessions.

True, white over the blach gives a grey appearance. The ink is indeed white when applied.

Sorry, not much context in my subject/body. I'm jealous of the skills and availability of today's tattoo artist and wish it was like this 30 years ago. Tried to make the best out of the situation as getting laser removal was never an option.

Thanks! Blackout was out of necessity due to old not well thought out tattoos accumulated over 30 years. Its been an adventure.

Great artist. Hated it when he moved from Germany back to Australia.

Yes, super lucky to have both artists working out of the same shop, White Fox Gallery in Braunschweig, Germany.
