Hello !

Wow a tattoo forum......I have been on OH for about four years and never knew. well I had been looking for years for what I wanted and just recently found it. It was one of those I will know it when I seen it things. We walked in this shop in Lahaina Hi(chrome lotis) and looked arround. When I picked it out the artist came out and I looked through his photo album. When I looked at the pics I just knew this was the time and the artist. He really did some great work! Well there is a pic on my OH page check it out and let me know what you think. I am going to go back and in feb or march and have color added. I figure its like a flood gate thing now that I got my first there will be more to follow. Have a great day, Derrick

Derrick...I love it! I have a tiki half-sleeve too!!! be careful...I start four or five at a time and it takes me MONTHS to go back and sloooooowly get them all finished! You and your wife are a beautiful couple....congrats on BOTH your success!! xxxBecca

Thanks! A friend asked what the tiki ment. Guess i'll have to ask when I go back....lol

Your tat is beautiful. Going back for color fills can be a royal pain. My husband's back tattoo took 10 or 12 sittings to fill in because his skin gets tired fast and he's actually allergic to the nickel in the stainless steel needles (yes, he's a glutton for punishment). I firmly believe that ink is an addiction, got my first one 10 years ago, and have since gotten 4 more... the only thing stopping me from getting more is the wrinkly canvas! Can't wait to lose the weight and get my PS so I can start up all over again. Also can't wait to see pics of yours all filled in.

Oh thats just what I wanted to hear. The shading on this one was not bad. Good luck with your wls. Derrick
