New Tattoo (first)

[Kevin]

Well I took a plunge and got my first ink done yesterday. It's just the outline, I have to get it filled in in a week or so. Took about 3 hours of non-stop work but I'm definately satisfied with it. I thought I'd share it with the hearse community because the subject matter is something that alot of you can probably appreciate. It's off of a Glenn Danzig cover, Black aria. Let me know what you think.

That is awesome! Gotta post pics when you've got it done.

Thanks. It seems to be healing well so hopefully I can get it colored and shaded in a few days or so. I'll definately post more pics when its finished.

There was a dude at DragonCon Last year that had that on his back. I really like the fore arms better, Easier to show of.
But DAMN dude, thats a hell of a piece to have as your first tat. It looks great, can't wait to see it finished. Sweet Work. Looks like the Artist did a great job.

I figured theres a few of them inked on people, but when I searched the net I couldn't find any examples, thats the first one I've seen. Yeah, I considered getting it on my side, kindof over my rib cage but I wanted people to see it more often. Alot of people have been surprised that its my first tat since its so big, I guess people usually get something tiny for their first one. I liked the picture so much and theres so much detail in it that I decided to get it pretty big. I was hoping to get it colored by now but they haven't had an opening. I'll post a picture once I can get it colored and shaded. Thanks for the comps, I'll let the artist know that people are digging it too, he definately did a good job.
