My two jits tattoos. One for my turtle game, the other for David Hasselhoff, our gyms spiritual founder.

I'm excited that I might FINALLY be able to make some of those tattoo appointments I've been postponing over the last year due to covid restrictions in England (and the rest of the UK, but each country is in charge of its own health policy), as studios are due to reopen in the month or so. Though I'm guessing they're going to be swamped by the backlog: a lot of frustrated people desperate for ink, I suspect. ;)
Perfect time to get something nice and big, as I'm not going to be able to train properly for a while anyway (I can't see contact training being allowed until Autumn/Winter, but we'll see, I could be wrong).

I have a big fish skeleton on my back. I love that one. I got in in Namibia, South West Africa, where my wife is from. It reminds me of the sea, Africa and my extended family there.
I also have a good sized Mjolnir on forearm. I work as a Maths teacher and the first time the kids saw that one, all the boys started whispering "Hammer of Thor!"
Without the magical power of my tattoos, I'm just a 2-stripe white belt really.

Decided not to get one in my 20s when I realized that cheearleaders and jocks were getting them and they were my sworn mortal enemies.

Yay, FINALLY have a tattoo booked in that I might actually be able to get! I've been antsing for a new tattoo for about 2 or 3 years now, I think, covid ruined ALL my tattoo plans (but hey, I didn't die, so that's good). Just have to hope the covid situation in England doesn't change again in August. :D

Cool, that does indeed look like a lot of sessions went into that! How many did it take to get through 100hrs? :D
So, it's a skull with a jiu jitsu snake? Or am I misreading? I went with a dragon for my BJJ tattoo, cartoony version. I've been updating it every time I get a new belt, so the final stage will be added scales and then making the tip of the tail black and red. ;)

It's actually a full leg sleeve all the components have a tie in with Brazil...the outside is the giant skull with now two black mambas I think (found in rainforest of Brazil anyways), the inside has Grandmaster Helio, the Brazilian flag, goes down to the calf where christ the redeemer is and all the way unto my foot where I have a giant black widow spider with a red core.
As for how many sessions I've been in, I lost track but 100hrs @250$ an hrs is what's into it so far as it is not quite finished.....some might say it's excessive. Unless of course they spent 14 choking each other out for something to do

hell, I've put over 300 hours of tattoos on my body, so excessive is in the eye of the beholder lol. I dig the leg sleeve, I only sleeved my arms and covered my chest. That tattoo is sick. The inside will be just as good I'm sure!

The inside is just as good and once it's finished I'll update this thread for people like yourself that enjoy ink as I do

Wow, $25k worth of ink? That's a hefty investment of both time and money! But yeah, it is well worth paying for quality when it is something permanent. :D
And yeah, definitely post lots of pics when it is finished, I'd love to see it. ;)

I'd almost guess my one friend may have tattooed you since that looks a ton like his style and work. Plus gothic decorations - Telltale Heart Tattoos?

Good guess, pretty similar work but no. This is the work of Marc Roy an artist from Vancouver British Columbia, Canada https://instagram.com/mro[...]liuonlkhte

Love getting ink. Kind of an addiction. Love seeing everyone’s creativity and sometimes lack of haha.

New ink! First time trying handpoked, it is holding up well so far (but we'll see how it looks a month from now).

Nice. Looks cool. Bottom of foot couldn't have felt lovely.

Ha - it's not super fun, but handpoked did feel MUCH better than when I had it done by machine. With the machine, I could handle about 15 mins. Handpoked, she did 1.5hrs, could have gone longer. :)

And this is the other recent one I got, not finished yet so I need to go back for another session. :)

Partly, but more specifically it's from the end of classic 1980s film, 'Labyrinth'. But yeah, as I also like Escher, that too. ;)

I have a addictive personality. I don’t have any tats as I know I would never stop.
I have been really considering getting one in Thailand though.
I may get a Thai Sak Yant.
I also train and coach Muay Thai and love this one. The Tiger looking back represents that no one stabs you in the back or does harm when you are not looking.

Man, I was literally rolling the same day I got a huge chunk of color filled in and you should see the damage i did. You are wise to take your time.
