You would have thought he'd get the acne tattooed out whilst he was there..

Stupid bastard.

I just got back from a ~3 hour session.. Man, I am so tired now, it's unbelivable and my bloody skin burst so we couldn't get the other turtle finished, but that's ok. I got another appointment this Thursday instead.

Well, I got the outlines for an Alien now aswell.. Nice nice!

But I am bloody tired, pics later on..

Oooo. Now that I do wanna see!

Hell yeah!

Show the gore!

I posted pics of the aftermath of my shoulder surgery a year and a half ago...

It ain't much too look at, that my skin burst was only bad because you can't get the ink to stick inside.. It just bleeds out and I bleed really much yesterday.

My arm is really.. painful today! Pics will come after this thursday when I had my other session

Take your time, Sebastian.

If you wait past this Thursday in order to let the skin/arm heal a bit more you might be more comfortable, and maybe get a better result.

Or, you could just numb the pain with beer...

;)

Well, it's an rather usual event that the skin bursts open and all the ink can't really stick since it bleeds too much.

Since I am doing my whole arm, I will just go to another place on the arm to continue with my wholesleeve.

Beer good, but not while getting an tattoo.. besides it doesn't really hurt that much.

Owch! Maybe you could put a scene of some comic getting his head blown off in the part where your skin burst..?

Hang in there Sebastian.

First pics look really good 3o3! Last bit sounded painful. Did you go this thursday, or did you let it heal a bit more?



That is seriously freaky, but so cool. How do they do that stuff?!

My tattooartist was preparing for the party so we decided to get another appointment instead (which I missed.. d'oh!).

However I think it's better to let it heal abit more until I continue and my alien (Alien 1-figure) has healed pretty well! But the other turtle really suffered from that "skinburst". Well, it's not anything that couldn't be fixed..

We are planning on putting some Spaceinvaders-figures above Castle Greyskull but I think that we'll go ahead with the Terminator 1-poster first on the inside of my arm.. and E.T. I'll just see how far we go this time, as there is so much detail everything takes _loads_ of time.. I've already been working on my arm for ~8 hours and all I got to show for it is Castle Greyskull, 2 turtles and an alien. But it will be all good once it's done!

The picture above is called scarification, you cut away the flesh and everyday the following weeks, you remove the scab and caress salt into the wound.. (This is how it's done in the western countries), I've heard that they use mud/faeces to get an infection so you get these nice scars in Africa. I have no idea what they do in PNG, maybe jase could answer? It's all about getting an infection so the body makes the scar even bigger and more visible. I think it's really cool and would love one myself.. but..

It's quite hard to find any place in Sweden that acctually makes these scarifications and since I really don't got any place on my body for it.. I'll just leave it alone.. I will be covered in ink once I am done with all my tattoos.

I am already looking at atleast +200 hours for my bodysuit.
