1stly - Wild Candy, my dear a tat even a tiny one behind the ear is gonna HURT LIKE f***!!! tats over bone or cartilage are much more painful than over muscle or fatty tissue -fact. the most painful parts to get tatted on are "The River of Pain" = from neck down, thru the space between the collar-bones down stomach to groin. Followed in pain by wrists and ankles and face. The rest aint that bad.
I used to have a Gordean Knot (kinda tribal-ish design based on mythology)) on the back of my left shoulder that extended down the back of that arm ending 3cm above elbow. Was meant to be integrated into a full shoulder and sleeve that i designed with wealz, graf and tat artist skater guy, he is very good. He did the first bit but he left for some further training in San Fran just before we were supposed to do the rest of my sleeve and the new guy he referred me to f***ed it up and it ended up looking like shit so ended up having it removed... all of it... still regret it, cos the 1st piece Wealz did was dope, not to mention the money it cost me.
I designed one of my lil brothers tats for him, the constellation that corresponds to his zodiac sign, scorpio, in stars on his forearm and he designed the tribal/graf flames on his other forearm.
we've now got a half-torso and opposite lower leg design for me that is gonna extend from my jawline to my hip bone on one side of me and a full lower leg ( sometimes called a "greave") because of the extensive back and chest coverage it'll probably require me to sit for like 20 4-6 hour sessions over 2 or 3 months.
Now i just need to find the artist, but it must be done, cos i've done it once and you cant go back once you've been inked.
Seriously i removed my tat like 7 years ago and i still miss it.
But on a real think REAL hard about what you put on you... NEVER go for fashion, it MUST have meaning to you.
