I have the full upper body done minus the strip down the middle of my chest and the armpits. My tattooist and I had long conversations about the armpits…he said they are a pain in the ass to tattoo, hurts like hell, and doesn’t take ink that well.
I passed but always wondered just how bad it was from someone who’s had it done.

@october-rust those are sick...the devil in the ball is killer.
It's actually intended to be a mirror. Design is a Polito original, with the idea that you're looking at your reflection and realizing that you're evil. I have a version done by Akira Latanzio a few years ago.

Not sure how I just came across this thread, but I've been collecting for close to 20 years now. The upside to being almost completely covered is that over the last several months I've been able to justify becoming completely unemployable.

@Matt I feel like my pain threshold isn't too bad? You're right, maybe it's just a person to person thing. The only spot I've found to be miserable was the weird fleshy part of my underarm arm near the armpits. Elbows and ditches weren't very fun at all but weren't as bad as I anticipated.
That's awesome @jskidder, one of my favorite tattoo designs but I admittedly didn't know the meaning.

I actually did my hands and neck on purpose so my wife couldn’t force me to work a real job again after I quit the corporate world.

@Matt Unfortunately I actually do work a very corporate job with high client visibility at the executive level. But I'm in advertising so I can get away with it.

@october-rust yes sir. Those are top notch indeed. Employment May come and go, but those inky lines will remains forever and always. Lovely work indeed.

Back in 2004 was a young and fresh year, it was completed with a day sitting. If I had to re-do it again it will probably take a year with several sittings.

Best thing about tattoos is that nobody can take them from you.
Don’t tell the missus.
