New Tattoo Day - Full Sleeve!

[JeffFromMtl]

I finally went in to Studio Tattoo Mania today to start working on my sleeve with this badass dude named Vincent from France. The pictures aren't great cuz I took them myself, so I may have someone else take pics and then post those. Clearly, all that was done today were the lines. We start adding Colours in two weeks, and the entire thing should be done by August 28th which is the date of my last of four appointments. Anyway, as you'll probably be able to tell, it's Moby Dick taking on Captain Ahab and his crew. Now to the part you entered this thread for:

All washed up and moisturized:

Updates to come after the next session!

HAHAHA! It took me like 15 minutes. Then I decided to shave the other one to not look like a lopsided fool. That one took just as long I did it myself to save precious tattoo time. We were aiming for a 5-hour sitting, and he finished the last line at around the 4:45 mark, so I was bandaged up and ready to go at the 5-hour mark.

And thanks everyone for the comments, I'm glad everyone else digs it as much as I do. Can't wait for colours!

I did listen to Leviathan a lot in the weeks leading up to the appointment in spirit of the tattoo. I also re-read the book. I forgot how bloody long it was.

 

[G0DLESSENDEAVOR]

Wicked art there. I'm to chicken to get a small one. When it's done, I'll shit bricks.

Should have posted this in the lounge so we could rep you.

This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye!!!
