That's my Tatt

[steaming stormer]

nah, not that huge.  Only about 30 to 40 mins he reckons.  I'm ready - just sick of waiting now.  The longer I wait the more I think... haha.  i'll post pics once healed!

You don't need it numbed - it's not that painful, if I can get one (or three), anyone can 

[steaming stormer]

all done, really not that bad.  The outline hurts a little, but by the time it starts to hurt, they need to re-ink so it starts again anyway. 
Nowhere near as painful as I expected.  Turned out pretty good, the bloke reckons it's a prick to do the size I did because of the detail involved. Ended up taking just over an hour.

My other half just got his tatt done on his leg. He was a little disappointed at first when the guy doing said if he did it in colour - by the time it started healing - you wouldnt see the 'melbourne' word in the purple cloud, so he suggested to him to do it in black and he would shade it in certain spots. My other half agreed, and I have to say - I dont know if it would have have looked as good if he had of had it done in colour. I think it looks pretty good, and its a good size too!!!

He works up north in the hot hot weather so he has shorts on almost 24/7 nacho!!! I think thats why he wanted the tatt on his leg lol!!!

yeah, i went colour, but wasn't able to get the Melbourne put in - would have to have been a lot bigger to get it to work.
Mine is slightly smaller than that by the looks of it, although it's hard to tell the size of his leg!  Mine is scabbing over, so once it heals, i'll post a pic

[Mrs Cooper Cronk]

His is 10cms high I think or at least roughly anyway. It is quite a decent size. He was a bit bummed about not having it in colour but as I said after it was finished, he liked it. It came up a lot better than we first thought and it looks really good. I am thinking about having to get one now too I like it that much!!!

Looking forward to seeing yours too steaming stormer.

give it a few more days.  It's in the back end of the healing stage - looks like I'll need to get the colour touched up a bit, but all good.  Mine is a bit smaller then - I think mine ended up about 7cm from head to the bottom of the lettering.

[Mrs Cooper Cronk]

Yeah tell me about it!! I'm a chicken shit and totally scared of getting a tatt but I really want to get one now I've seen how his turned out!!
Mind you I said the same thing after he got his Collingwood tatt on his arm and I still havent got my pies one either lol.
