So I Got Tattooed....Again
Monday, November 29, 2010 at 6:33AM So, I got a tattoo…again!
I’ve been working on a half-sleeve for over a year now.
The artist behind the needle is Dawn Grace. She's so bad-ass you have to wait at least 2 months before you can get time with her.
Here's the original outline she did and the meaning behind the tattoo.
Then, the day before Thanksgiving I sat for almost 4 hours while she started coloring the bad-boy in.
And, the overwhelming agreement amongst all involved is as Dawn put it… “fuck you’ve got a big arm!!!”
So, she only got the background done…and one flower.
February's my next and hopefully last date with her to complete the half sleeve.
But in the meantime…let’s get to the photos.
Here’s what it’s like with just the background colored in.

wow and I see you love pain!
That is going to look awesome when it is done 'cause it is fabulous now
WOW
It looks freakin awesome. I love it so far...
Seriously? Stop it. You are sexy enough. Don't rub it in that all the sexy tattooed men (who aren't total douchebags) are taken!!!
This already looks amazing. Can't wait to see the final result. Oh ... and your arm does look kinda gargantuan. :-)
Very cool, I want a chick to do my next one - representing my daughter. I think 2011 is the year for that to happen.
Lover, she was just being polite. What she really meant was you have a big head and a giant space between your teeth. You know you're only getting a tattoo so people stop thinking you're a giant pussay ;)
It looks really nice. I love the meaning behind the tat. You're a good man daddy.
Cool tats. I could never get a tat as I hate needles.
Lookin good daddy
Getting inked , like boxed wine, is addicting!! I'm looking to do one more.. at least. Loving yours... cant wait to see the finished product.
Oh! VERY nice. I'm feeling the need to get another one myself as my first was for my 30th birthday, and in December I turn 50.
Yikes.
The Ink looks great, I am sure it will be a work of art when its finished...Go daddy!!
My boobs are bigger than your arms.
NICE TAT!
Or should I say ...tit for tat.
Honestly I couldn't do it. No Little Johnny "tatoo" joke to insert here but I gotta tell ya, you are more of a man than me!!!! I don't think I could do it if someone PAID for advertising space on my arm!
By the way, LittleAnimation sayz her boobs are bigger than your arms....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ok.. just needed a minute there.. Going to shower now!!
Very nice tattoo!! I actually just got my most recent tattoo at the same shop she works at - they do great work!
Nice! I'm still planning my next one or I'm supposed to be in my spare time lol
