New Tattoo

[COLOSSUS]

Im in the process of getting my chest done. so damn excited. the outline is about half way through. ill post a pic of my progress.

i got a couple questions though to those who have tattoos.

i still wanna keep training but i dont wanna do something to mess it up or whatnot. i know your supposed to keep it dry and i sweat like a mofo.

i know all the other protocals to taking care of my tatt besides how to go about training while its in the process. all i know is that when i sweat it burns like a bitch lmao.

i was thinkin of just goin light/high reps until its done and fully healed...?

anyone help me out here?

If you can train with no shirt that would be the best for at least the first couple days. Also, dont do anything where you are pushing on it with any kind of machine. I wouldnt worry about the sweating. You can take showers and whatnot. I would be sure to shower as soon as you finish lifting though to keep it clean. I hear the chest hurts pretty good. My rib cage was killer and it took 7 hours/2 sessions. I dont know why I'm even wanting to get the other side done.

i wish i could train with no shirt. but i go to a 24 hours fitness :hang: i try to wear very loose fitting shirts so that it doesnt rub as much as it would with a tight one.

im also making sure that i dont do any exercises where i have to lean on it

yea chest is a killer but i bet ur ribs hurt more. but i think im goin for the ribs for my next tatt too :D

like three. he works out of his house so we get alot of lag/fuck around time haha iv probably spent a good 40hours give or take at his house and actually got like maybe a solid 4-6 hours of tatt time hahaha

umm i think mostly black n grey i think. he is only chargin me 3 bills for the outline but if i want color it will be more so idk. but i know for sure the eyes are gonna have diamonds in em and they are going to be colored and glowy :D

just be sure what your doing, i have 5, including sleeves and they were all done around 10years ago. At the time they are great, but your life can change alot in 10 years. Im looking to get some of them removed at the momment but im not convinced the process works.

[caged]

yeah.... thats allot of work, lookin good.
how does it feel around the neck area?

yea thanks for the heads up but iv given this alot of thought, aside from the fact that i wanna become a tattoo artist i just think that they are great overall. but thanks for the concern if thats what you were goin for lol

thanks man.

yea its takin alot longer than i expected but like i mentioned before we fuck around alot haha.

umm surprisingly it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. the real killers were on my sternum and the mid chest area.

i would also like to add that i designed the tattoo. the main concept and sketched it all out and he took a look at it and basically just freehanded it and changed it but i love where he is going with it.

i also wanna dscribe what it is exactly incase you guys cannot really tell

you got the eagle with the wings spread from shoulder to shoulder that is goin to be coming out of the skull with an aztec feathered dragon at the bottom.


ill post up some of the rough sketches that i drew if you guys want :)

[Turbo3000]

I would like to see some rough sketches.

Looks good.

I still can't decide if I want to get inked.

[COLOSSUS]

heres the snake that i originally drew



this is the first all together sketch



then i made it a little cartoony because i like the style and so that i had another option



...go ahead n tell me what you guys think. dont be to harsh :D
