New guitar and lady day...
« on: July 12, 2008, 05:33:30 PM »
... on my leg :D

only just got back from the tattooist so this is still very raw and overshaded, should settle down nicely in the next few weeks




just as i was finished the tattooist said he would rather have another 3 hours of tattooing done than wake up with tattoo leg in the morning - apparently its not a pleasent experience but he failed to mention that before we started

choosing the guitar was quite difficult - i was going to go with one of mine but once i knew what style i wanted the tattoo to be it just had to be a gretsch

Awesome tat, and yeah I think you made the right choice with the Gretsch - suits the style very well

Cool tattoo.

Gretsches could very well be the most tattooed guitar.

hmm, looks like the lovely lady has farted and the guitar has caught fire... Nice though, i'm planning my first tattoo. Got a more elaborate one planned for one arm, but rather have a smaller thingy done first. easier to chicken out.

Yowzer!

No-one can convince me that's a pain free event...

I like the Gretch, but you should have done one of yours.  Think of the free advertising on your annual 2 weeks in the sun?

my stuffs generally a bit too modern looking for the style of tattoo's i like- although there was talk of a matching blonde with a more modern guitar on the opposite leg

i am not going to try to convince anyone it doesnt hurt, it really does!!  it is forgotten quickly though.  the guitar will get strings and we may do more with the flames depending how it looks when settled in - 3 hours seems to be my limit and i really felt it today

I think the fan fret might have looked good, but you probably would have needed a more 'modern' girl!  It does look a bit bright - but never having had a tatoo, I don't know if they all start like that.  Glad you are happy with it - but does it mean no shorts to school  :P
