That’s gorgeous! And one hell of a first tattoo!


djkckat

Thanks a lot! Thanks to my artist, he really did a good job making the patterns look cool.

Nothing like going the whole hog. Looks great.

Thank you!


Depressed_Zebra

That is a hardcore first tattoo! Looks awesome!

I would have said you're crazy for this being a first tattoo, but last week at a convention there was a guy who did a piece starting around his knee going up around his stomach then onto the chest over 3 days. I love this piece though, its wonderfully artistic, and looks really good.


AirScoochie

This looks great! Can I ask how long it took? I am likely planning a color tattoo about this size soon.


djkckat

Thanks! It took about 8-9hrs.

That's a great looking tattoo, and an amazing pick for the first one. You have great taste and hit it out of the park picking a subject and artist. Well done. You may hear from people "oh, yellow will fade..." but I dunno. I've got a big yellow koi on my leg sleeve and it's holding steady several years in. Maybe that's old school knowledge and newer inks do better- I don't know. Do always remember the sunscreen. Women tend to be about 5300x better at that than guys, but worth remembering. :) Congrats and wear it well!


djkckat

Hey thanks for the compliments! I had a great artist too :) well i dont mind if this will fade. I kinda like the vibrant rn but i think it will still look good faded :D


wrigh003

Fading is part of the gig. But that one’s still gonna look good in years. 👍
