If you like it good for you! My friends all have tats and I am talking top of the head solid down to the fingers. I did not get any as it was not my thing, but I like yours. Enjoy it Sean

That's going to be sweet - post up when the shading's done. I have never seen one like it.

Thats a big owl! Unique though (at least i have never seen another owl tatt), and the main reason I don't have a tatt yet is that i haven't come up withanything i really like, and don't really want to get anyhting that i know someone else already has....
Last week someone in my RFS brigade hit an owl on the way home from training... broke a headlight. Didn't do good things to the owl either :(

I definitely like the tat. It is nice work and it says alot more than some of my friends who have gotten really generic shit tattooed on. I have wanted one for a while now, but I have yet to come across something that I connect with enough to get it permanently inscribed on my flesh.
I like seeing other people who do though!

I’ve always enjoyed the, “by the time you’re ____” argument.
Imagine if we lived our lives avoiding things because of how it might impact us by the time we’re 70.
If I get a tattoo, and it looks radical up until I’m 70…that’s 36 years that I really get to enjoy my ink. That’s longer than I’ve been alive. I’m cool with that.
On a side note; if you get bummed by being ridiculed for your tattoo, you might want to rethink why you got one in the first place.
Cheers,
HLB

All caps? I don't think I've gotten one in all caps before. A bit harsh, don't you think?

So far looks pretty cool. The shading's gonna make or break it for sure.
Curious as to why it's off center.

I bet this thread got more hits after it changed to "post deleted..." than before.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see the shading.

the placement is pretty cool in that the curve of the wings will accentuate regular curves of the body.
shading will make or break it too. make sure you get enough contrast in the head/neck or it will look like mush
i just got my backpiece started too. just the outline at this point. for me the slight bit that went on my ribs really wasn't that bad , but it wasn't 'right' onthe ribs. the bit that crossed my spine was the worst, and going round my shoulder blade

not so much, i was just having a bad day.
and i like my reasons for getting this one, but they never come out right and people just think im a twit...so i wont try and explain.

the wings didnt fit if it was centered, plus why the fck would i want it in the center?
i think having it this way it better, we had to put it on and take off the stencil a few times, it just didtn work when centerrd

DAMN IT! that's good!
I would love something like that with another animal. Eagle (my amulet since 96) or a dragon, or ...
Nice one! *imagine thumbs-up smiley here*

I totally agree with HLB- if it bothers you that people gave you a hard time about your tattoo- you probably need to rethink why you got it in the first place.
After I got my first tattoo (9 tattoos ago, and a half sleeve coming on Wednesday) my dad was so angry that he didn't talk to me for almost a week. But it's something I believe in, and something I love and want to express- 5 years later even- so that was his problem, not mine.
He won't like my half sleeve, or the fact that I got another tattoo, and when I post the pictures on here I'm sure I'll get some detractors, but it's something I want and love and believe in, so I won't be bothered.
If you love it, more power to ya! The work looks well done so far. Take good care of it and put sunblock on it- fresh tattoos fade fast if you don't protect them all the time from the sun.

i do like my tattoo, and i dont think i need to rethink why i got it. if it really bothered me what people said would i have re posted the pictures? would i have gotten it in the first place? its not like this is my first. and sometimes everyone has a bad day. lifes a bitch, and i got over it.
in regards to the sunscreeen. im really not looking forward to that, im horrible with sunblok. but at least i have 5 more months before it will be warm enough here to even think about wearing anything that will show it.
