15 hour Tattoo..Ouch

[TheX1992]

15 1/4 hours total in this baby (3 sittings). It's a Welding helmet with father in the top (The same welding helmet I bought my dad), and the Torch and the Mig Gun I brought into the shop to get copied, because it's the same exact ones he taught me on. He didn't die if that's what your thinking. He is just a big part of my life, and I will never forget that.

What do ya think?

Oh and yes, it was a coverup too.

Me and my dad are a father/son maintenance team at this place. We just pretty much keep it running. So welding, fabricating, electric, plumbing....Do it all.

kool well i was jw cuz im in the process of gettin certified... so thats all

[LuckyOxygen]

What was it before? Just curious...

[TheX1992]

Before it was just the 2 chinese symbols. Dumbest idea I ever had.



Get certified! I'm not certified, but I'm still going to go back and get it. We always hire a person with schooling and 5 years experience over someone with no school and 15 years experience.

[BranMan]

yeah thats the thing... i no how to weld but just sayin that im certified when im at an interview will help me i think... ill just see

[TheX1992]

Exactly. If you have proof that you have been trained on how to do something right, you are golden.

Wow 15 hrs. Nice Tat looks really good. Just seems like a long time for a Tat that size.



James

I agree there is no way it took 15 hrs. 6-7 hrs at most.

[Hammer trx450r]

Its definatly better than the covered up on

That is one nice looking tatoo. I love the scroll design on the torch.

nice tat good meaning to it.i have too half sleeves and both together didnt total 15hr must of been a really slow i mean really slow tat artist or gave you one hell of a run for your money.

Oh it was 15 hours alright. I felt every minute. The guy is fairly new at this (about a year) and really takes his time. The outline was 4 hours, 6 for black shade and red, then 5 1/2 for the rest. He takes his time to get it right (charges by the piece, not by the hour).

And the size of the tattoo matters. I don't exactly have small arms. We put this stencil on my roomates arms, and it was pretty much a sleeve on him.
