I got my first Tattoo DUW

slacker6848 Jul 19, 2008 11:57 AM

I got this last night, took 4 1/2 hours but well worth it, figured I'd go all out on my first tat
the outline



the final outline


now the tail

Saddles

now the rest

Finally at 3AM it's finished

This is it this morning


Rex Findley from Body Visions here in Conroe TX drew this up for me and did it and did an outstanding job, this is the original picture i sent him to get an idea of the look of the snake i wanted. This pic was taken by Berry Miller, he sent me a link with all his photos of Suris to help me pick the perfect one

Thanks for looking
Zack

I opened my mouth and out flowed a melody black.

Nice but you know you can not stop at just one. There is a lot more room for more on your back. P.S the ribs hurt like hell but I'm sure you will find that out by your self. lol Again nice tat Keith

slacker6848 Jul 20, 2008 08:22 AM

LOL, yeah that's what I've herd, but the ribs are off limits for me, I had a friend get one on his ribs that can handle pain like no other and he almost passed out a few times, so that was enough knowledge about that.

Thanks

Yep main reason I got it now instead of next week or so, so it'd be over a month, and I'm sure I'll be showing it off to everyone, lol, This time I'll actually be hitting up that strip down there, so if you and your husband and anyone else wants to hit up some places let me know

Thanks
