My snowy owl is in memory of an auntie. My paw print is the actual imprint of one of my old dog's paw. Both are equally meaningful to me.

Re: I got started on my HC tattoo
I keep trying to plan everything out in my head. My side piece, from my hip to below my armpit was in development for about 5-6 years. I'm not sure I will to my other side, it was baaaad! My right arm is sleeved. I didn't want to do anything on my left arm yet, that's probably going to be dedicated to Halloween! I went with the crab on my right calf because I had a piece done by the same artist on the opposite calf. I figured the same style would balance my calves out! Plus I could something of decent size. I want to hold off on my shins because I always bash them off stuff so that would destroy a tattoo.Hermiesguardian wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 6:11 pmMost of my tattoos are where I can see them. Only 2 where I can't. If I can't see them, why get them. Lol

Re: I got started on my HC tattoo
Well here it is all colored. My artist said the coloring was a pain because every crab is different with their colors!
It's a bad picture. I will try and get more pictures tomorrow.

I see you have a critter terrarium in front of you. What's in that one?

Wow, 20 years old! What's her lifespan?
I have a Russian Tortoise that can live 50+ years. I'm in my 30s, so I always joke I'll have to leave her in my will to someone lol.
