I’ve been back home about 2 hours since getting it. Cost $400. When I went in they told me getting it on the calf would be quite painful, especially if I wasn’t used to tattooing, and I admit the line work was very painful.
Also can anyone tell me what happens in the end of Taken?
Sorry about the picture quality, this is the best I could do (my digital camera doesn’t work with vista, so I had to go polaroid).
.
Can’t see shit.
Is that Super Mario in a cape?
It’s on the side.
And no, not mario, it’s an eagle
Looks like a scan of a poloroid pic. Can you re-take it?

I keep trying to take a polaroid that comes through, but it seems to focus on the background rather than the tat. I’ll get a friend to take a pic and see if taking it from further away works better.
These might be slightly better
400$ LOL…
You look much different in your avatar.

yeah, poloroid sucks. Call a friend that has a digital. I can sort of see that it is an Eagle and mostly blue and yellow. Ink must be more expensive in AU than US $400 sounds like a lot.
Calf machine FTW
…
Let me guess, your next tattoo will be a blinged out crucifix or a barb wire around the bicep, right?
Sorry to be a dick, but 3 out of every 4 rednecks in this country have an eagle inked on their body. Go back to the tattoo shop, punch the artist in the face, get your money back and put a new piece over it.
I thought you said it was on your calf. Isn’t that a pic of your forearm?

In NZ, that would have cost me $150. $200 at most.

There seems to some agreement between the tattoo shops here. The minimum you can pay (for the smallest piece) is $70, or $90 at some places.
I’m getting a booking with this guy who specialises in japanese tattooing, but the waiting list is 7-10 months. If I get anything done inbetween now and then, it will be more Sailor Jerry work. I’m a big fan, and am considering a couple more of his designs. Maybe I’ll fly over to NZ to get some done.

I know, I’m going to try Tim Henrique’s Calf Solution as soon as the tatt stops stinging. I’m on quite a successful bulk atm, so I’m hoping I can translate that to some good calf development.
