DEMON Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) This is my very first one that I got on this Wednesday past, it's the Devil Gene symbol from the Tekken series in the same place that Jin has it, on my left arm. I got it because the Tekken series is what got me into Playstation in the first place and is one of not only my favourite game series of all time, but also one of the ones that I have been playing the longest and into the future with Tekken 7. It also holds some personal meanings to me as well. *snip* JIN! Like the tattoo, smooth lines, I considered that one myself but I'm a bit of a fan of mad detail on my own personal tattoos (plus the arm that would go on is already covered lol). I named my dog after Jin from Tekken so that would do me with that. lol Edited March 13, 2016 by DEMON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha that's really cool! I'm definitely getting some more in the future, I just don't have any good ideas at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I went simple with my first, I went big and detailed. lol And now it's needing fixed up as since it was my first, my aftercare method wasn't as great then so it hasn't aged as well as it could but I'm giving it another couple of years.. when it turns 10 I'll get it tightened up. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xel Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Nearly done, so impressed by this tattoo. One more session to add extra bits of color and background. So far, 12 hours. Your love for FFXIV is endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right, yeah I didn't realise how big of a job the after-care was either, you really have to treat it so very carefully. I just finished my aftercare yesterday, still hurts a little, but I've done the main work now. Yeah, that is kind of the double edged sword, the bigger you go for, the more that can potentially go wrong with it . Well, I hope it goes OK for ya when the time comes to get it fixed up .

I actually have no problem healing large work now. The more tattoos you get, the more experienced you're going to get with the aftercare. It is easy to me now. Didn't you say you just got that tattoo Wednesday past? Tattoos have to be in aftercare for at least 2 weeks! At least that is mostly my experience and if it still hurts a bit, I suggest you continue with it, 5 days if I read your original post correctly is way too short.

Yeah that's true, I'm sure I'll be the same in years to come . Yeah, I got in on the 9th. Well, that's what the artist who did it for me gave me the guideline for, to wash it and put a cream called Bepanthen on it 3 times a day for 3 days, maybe I should carry on like you said. Thanks for your advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice! Well, by all means you should listen to his aftercare advice, if he was from a studio. But if it's still hurting, you need to clean it at least. You can do without applying Bepanthen/whatever ointment on the second week, just wash it and keep it moisturized, don't let it dry out. The aftercare never actually ends for tattoos, you just don't have to wash them 2-3 times daily anymore after the 2 weeks. You'll constantly be keeping sure your skin stays good and healthy. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn007 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) These are my other 2. They are nearly 15 years old so do need some tlc. Edited March 14, 2016 by PoisonQueen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 These are my other 2. They are nearly 15 years old so do need some tlc Pretty good looking for 15 year old tattoos though. How big are they? They don't look that big to me and they have aged quite well (the snake looks a little worn round the edges and that's about it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn007 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Snake is about 15cm long, paw print is about 8cm. They are not massive but I was 16years old at the time and didn't want anything massive. My wrist tattoo is the biggest. That's about 20/25cm.

Popular Post DEMON Posted March 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2016 Finally complete! It took about 14 hours all together, really was the exact idea I had in my head for my chest piece, so I am super pleased with how it all turned out. As for pain, there nearly was none for me in the chest, was an easy area. Now looking forward to the next. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEMON Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I wish it was a gradient into itself. That would be dope. I like it this way. There's a number of ways the background could be done but he did it in a way that was similar to a previous tattoo he done and I liked that way, just in a much bigger scale for mines.

Bucknerd Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Of course! I don't think of Twintania as dragon as much I consider her evil incarnate. I don't care that she's a pushover now and has an adorable little minion and a mount. She still haunts my dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder though, who needed 30% echo with her? Me and a couple of friends ages ago managed to clear it as 3 man party.. (and I have seen 2 man parties do it).
