mepps Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) That is BEAUTIFUL man! great colours! I've got a marlin tattoo of my own, but its a very simply one in B&W as a memorial to my father. This is an image from shortly after it was done (note the redness) Edited April 18, 2008 by mepps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Cool....not many people around these parts even know what a marlin is. I always get "cool swordfish"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Its funny you ask this, mine is getting scretch as we speak.Its going to be something really different though,He's going to make my tat of me fishing from my boat and I have a walleye on the end on my line and with me wearing my Habs jersey. I cant wait to see how it will look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 thats sounds really cool, when are you getting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Not 100% sure when, I guess when he is done making it, I will go check it out,and If I like, make a day and then get it.This will be my first tat ever, so I am a bit nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Its more annoying than anything. Is it going on your arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Its going on my back/shoulder blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepps Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 The back isnt too bad from what I hear, mine was done on my ribs, but only took a couple hours so it wasnt bad at all. I have one planned on my stomach that I'll hopefully get in the next month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Its all in where the nerve endings are...if you pinch yourself you can get an idea of where it will hurt more. I thought it was going to be a lot worse than it actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a grerat work of art in the works.Sorry his name escapes me. awwww now you have gone and done it Brian... it is on the tip of my tongue.. it was a nice trout sleeve.. dang now this is going to bug me... I have several tattoos all have different meanings.. however none that are fishing related at the moment... by far the most painful one was a custom dragon i have done on my chest (Back when I was fighting) and the dragons claw is VERY close to my nipple... other then that i resemble it to a prolonged cat scratch when I describe the sensation.. and the longer it continues the number you get to it. I found outlining to be a tad more intense then the shading for sure. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepps Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) You mean this one HD?? Heres a couple beauties people have sent in to FF... This one is my favorite trout tattoo ever...

addict Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 nice tats so far would love to see more.everbody says the outline hurts the most but i found the shading a little rough especially near the armpit going over the same spot again and again.the outline is fast run the neddle over it once.

Mike01 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 going over the same spot SUCKS at first...but after a while you can't feel it anymore!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addict Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) going over the same spot SUCKS at first...but after a while you can't feel it anymore!! trust me if u got the marlin on the inside of your arm u would feel it the top outside of the arm is quite pleasaurable compared to the backside.

Daplumma Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Sorry guys..I will never get the whole tattoo thing and I was in the navy.To each his own but visable tattoos pretty much screw you for upper management and many other things.I dont think my customers would let me in the door with one.If you have figured out a way to balance your "self expression" and a way to support your family ,more power to you.Dang,I miss my long hair but sadly,its like having a tattoo.Tinman,thats a kickass tat.

Tarzan's Jane Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I have to agree with Daplumma...which is quite sad though cuz those are really nice, tasteful tattoos...the single B&W Marlin is my favourite, but the colours on the others are very nice and well done.
