Got a comic book related tattoo? 1 1

[Old Fashion PB and J]

I hated getting the back of my calves tattooed. And next I am starting a half sleeve of all DC villains.

Just found this thread! Gonna post all my comic related tattoos. The first picture I just got today from one of my co-workers at my shop.

This one was done on the back of my right leg. 31 hours sleeves the whole back of the leg from upper thigh to ankle. Frank La Natra was my artist. And it took 1 year to complete.

Fun find and nice work Retro!

Thanks man. I got one more.

 

This one I got from one of my co-workers too. It's my favorite panel from a comic. It was also featured on The Walking Dead Tattoo Tuesdays. I blurred out any naughty stuff

Here's a few updates of new stuff I just got done in the past few months.

The bend at the elbow, the elbow and inner upper arm aren't much fun either.

The inside of my arm was bad but the worst for me was the skin behind my arm outside of the arm pit. I was in serious pain.

 

Nice work guys! Retro that Star Wars leg sleeve is insane

Here's my Where the Wild Things Are sleeve. Although it's not a comic, it is most likely the one book responsible for my love of the stories I enjoy in comics.

 

My apologies for the link. For some reason the pic is not posting.

I wonder similarly, maybe post a poll in 10 years of the question:

 

"Does anyone have any comic related tattoos they've had done in the past which they now regret today?"

 

Not to knock tattoos, but the impulsive nature of securing permanent images knowing for various reasons, the biggest one probably isn't necessarily "I've grown out of / disinterested in" but more, "My body has limited inventory space to ink, so I've found something better I'd rather have that what's currently occupying that space" - - sort of like how people change framed pictures on their walls.

I have zero regrets for any of my tattoos, not even the one I laser we off. What mine represent to me were apart of my life for a long time before getting the tattoos though. I know tattoo regret is very popular but have a feeling many here on the boards won't have any comic related tattoo regrets other than possibly choosing the wrong artist who may have lacked the skill for the task. I've yet to see any of those posted though.

 

Nowadays tattoo removal is growing more and more popular for many reasons. A bad tattoo to begin with, an ex's name, tattoo location, or the fun one of fading the ink to get something new. I've come across a few artists who decided to get laser treatment with the main purpose of getting new tattoos. One even stated he'd probably laser the new ones off in a few years to get more new ink. Just like a painting on the wall. Well, sort of. I'd rather smash my finger with a hammer hanging a picture over exstensive laser treatment any day.

Correction: I did regret getting my rib cages done with every being of my body but that was only during the fact. Goodness gracious my body was not meant for that pain! Even temporary pain.

No regerts.

Whomever comes up with the highest quality temporary tattoo solution to address the "fashion" of having ink and being able to switch back and forth will make mega bucks...

 

The idea of permanent and that commitment I know is a badge of honor for many and anything short of that may be deemed "fake", so I'm not sure how that would be received and supported.
